RE: What deer hunting experience made you maddest?
It's a toss up:
Day 1 of 2000 season: After spending 3 months learning deer runs, building stands etc. Getting out 2 hr before light on opening day to have 8 people show up 5 minutes after opening and drive my property. Then when they are asked to leave they continue driving, push a deer out of the bush in front of me and shoot it.
Or
Day 2 2000 season:
I got to another stand 2 hr before light. Then 30 minutes before light a car drives up in front of my property. I approach the car in the dark to tell the person that this is my property. He fires 3 rounds in the dark over my head into the tree my stand is in.
Interesting experiences. It got worse after that, but now it's finally getting better.
