RE: Hunting Pet Peeves
I have tried shooting at those distances, it's not as easy you might think. And in some places that might be the closest shot you get at a deer. And it will take a whole day of hiking and climbing (if not more) to get it.
My biggest pet peeves about hunting are probably these:
1.) People that are overly PC about hunting. It's hunting, we kill things for sport. If you have a problem getting over that concept you might want to think about getting a new hobby. Maybe wild life photography or something.
2.) Slob hunters. By this I mean guys that don't even make an effort to practice with their equipment be it gun or bow. They don't bother finding a load their gun likes or even checking to see how it shoots before the season starts. They just pull it out of the case that has been hiding in a closet all year and head out to the woods. Then throw a fit because they miss or wound an animal.
3.) And my third pet peeve is bow hunters that think all bow hunters are better than any gun hunter simply because they use a bow. What a load of crap! I see more lazy slob hunters using bows than I do with guns most of the time. At least with a gun you can get away with a little less practice. I have shot with too many people that can't hit a 2 foot by 2 foot target at 20 yards in a back yard, let alone put one in the vitals of a deer with a broad head out of a tree stand.
I see so many people that have no clue or education of deer anatomy or proper shot placement it makes me crazy. This would be with gun or bow as well.
4.) And lastly I'm not overly fond of people that trespass, sit in your stand, swipe your stuff or ride their 4 wheelers around messing up my hunt. I'm not overly fond of ATV's in general during hunting season. I understand in some places you need them, but not where I live. It just makes you lazy in my opinion.
