For me it has to be;
1. Buying a foreclosed piece of land and seeing some old tires and a rusted barrel on my land, along with some other things.
2. A guy gut shooting a deer, and having the deer stand there moaning and whaling, as it starts to spit up its intestines or stomach through its mouth. <img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

Wading down one of my favorite trout streams in the ANF, looking up and seeing a pickup stop by the road above and a refridgerator comes tumbling down the hill!!!

O my, you had to get me started on this one.
1. A guy who climbed in my ladder stand on the first day of archery, using a crossbow (he didn't look handicapped to me) about 3 minutes after I climbed down.
2. A fawn that had been hit and was falling down, its back leg was REALLY messed up, so I had to put it down.
3. PEOPLE ON QUADS!!!! Just driving through the woods to pi$$ me off.
4. A REDNECK family who had pitched a tent and camped on the bank of a stream for a week before trout season. BEER cans EVERYWHERE.
5. A dead buck laying less than 80 yards from the treestand which the hunter was using when he shot it. That one still puzzles me, considering I could see the stand from where the deer was.
These are just a few of them.

P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

1.) Trash in the woods where "hunters" left it. they can carry coffe cups in full, but can't carry them out empty!
2.) Quads running all over the place, scarring up the land and running off the deer.
3.) Dogs allowed to run everywhere--including chasing deer.
4.) Paint Ball set ups which were set up by a bunch of teenage kids who just put them everywhere and don't care whose property it is.

I've heard about people finding bucks with their antlers cut off, but I have never witnessed this.
I did know a family who would shoot deer, just take the hind quarters and throw the rest down an old unused well.

1) Big buck with head cut off at first light on opening day... No shots heard that morning so it was obviously jacklighted the night before.
2) While looking through my bino's two years ago I noticed a young kid looking back at me... through the scope of his rifle. His dad was sitting right next to him.[stupid is... as stupid does-F.Gump]
3) Beer cans/Cigarette butts/Litter

On opening day of gun season at 4:00 AM, five flash lights being waved at me surrounding the tree stand I carried in two weeks previously-two miles from the hard road!

Something that may be worse in the future!
Five flash lights being waved at me around my tree stand on the first day of archery season by guys carrying crossbows!
