Not fun is not being able to hunt for a week or more........any hunting day I get is absolutely awesome in my book.

What's not fun:
1. pine bough pickers
2. bear hunters and their dogs.
3. grouse hunters and their dogs.
4. wolves
5. coyotes
6. bait piles
7. quads running off trail
8. the guys that hunt near me that complain that there are no big deer anymore then go out during rifle season and shoot 6 bucks that don't score over 115"
I can relate to them 2. Deer hunting in Wisconsin its happened way too many times with dogs chasing a bear while I'm trying to deer hunt. 4 wheelers period drive me nuts!![:@] No one knows how to you use there own 2 legs anymore!!!!!!!![:@]

I would like to say that I understand that other hunters have the right to enjoy public land. I share the land with these guys and am always friendly and polite. The bear hunters have given me info as to where they have seen big bucks.
It does affect the deer movement and makes them harder to hunt though. That is the part that sucks.

Here in PA I can all but guarantee you the answer for most guys will be: Pressure and tresspassers.

It's such a pain in the butt, and so much stress to do your homework on public land or even private land, and to think you are in the right spot only to have someone bumble through at any point in the day and ruin your valuable time in the woods (especially since we can't hunt on Sundays)
And then on Private land you are always worrying about who is crossing the posted signs.

It's no fun to have your first thought each hunt be: "Well who is gonna screw this up today?"

What's not fun, is having two knuckle heads walking through this beautiful thicket (which is public land and almost impregnable),talking to each other at 4:00PM(prime time) on a perfect hunting day, while I sit in my treestand and listen to them!![:@][:'(][:'(][:'(]Thank God, this has only happened on one occasion in 5 years.It's my favorite spot.
