Always somebody that has to take a thread where it will not do any of us any good. I'll refrain from answering that
My number one would be guys that shoot a bird and then shoot another before they pick up the first one. When we get into some HOT spots it can get pretty intense. I know when there are roosters in the air it is tough to go look for the one you just shot, but too many times I have seen guys looking for birds after the shooting stops without much idea of where they are or how hard they were hit.
The whole gun safety thing is huge with me. I had a buddy who invited his brother and his brother had no clue where the safety even was. He turned out alright after I gave him a quick lesson on some important issues besides the safety. We still hunt with him and he's a pretty decent kid now. The litter thing has really been pissing me off lately because it seems like everyone I see on a gravel road is throwing something in to a ditch anymore. I just want to walk over and smack them, then make them pick it up. Good thread OP.

1.) Uncontrollable dogs
2.) Dogs fighting over a bird. Those damn things are 60 bucks a pound!!!!!
3.) The Army marcher , who has to be the first one to the end of the field!!
4.) The only reason you get a invite is that you are the only one with Dogs. Sometimes a good thing!!!
5.) The person who should never own a firearm!!!
And if you get all these on the same trip!!! Priceless!!!!!!!!

The NERVE of some people
How about asking everyone to take a 30 minute break so his girl friend could run into town to get a hunting lisence (because this hunting thing was kinda fun) and oh BTW does anyone have a spare gun she could borrow.
NO we did not wait, we left right after they headed to town and went to land belonging to another hunter in our party that was unknown to them and yes they got the message.

That is hilarious!
#1 of course and like many others is safety violators!
After that is the person that doesn't even at least offer to pay for some gas, doesn't have water for his dog, and only has a handful of shells.
I handle things this way: I say I have to cut the hunt short to save on gas; I tell them they will be carrying the water since I brought it; and kindly tell them I also only brought a few shells!
LMAO! I assume she already took hunter's safety, or is that not required in South Dakota?

ok here goes:
1. being late 2.5 hrs when asked to go on a hunting trip. We were trying to beat a blizzard forming in south dakota and it cost me the drivers side mirror of my truck.
2. Wanting to tresspass and trying to get me to cosign it
3. Talking to your wife and family more then a couple times a day
4. Constantly being on your i-phone, or what other device you have. I am tied to that thing when i am in town, we are hunting for god's sake
5. telling me you have a hunt all set up and it is great, only to find out that it is a shitty little trailer and public ground that has a thousand people on it
6. having to explain to people what a decent tip is at a restaurant
7. having to ask for gas money
8. getting so tanked at night that i have to be the alarm clock every morning
9. Wasting game that you take
10. Being disrespectful of land, littering, tearing up fences
11. people constantly yelling at their dog, or constantly laying on the whistle
12. those damn locator beepers. I hunt for relaxation, being out in nature a little. Those things make me feel like i am hunting next to a backing bread truck all day.

Not having a dog in control
Accepted ( politely put up with) the 1st year however get the pup in control.
But a dog that runs completely random scaring birds that are hundreds of yards away

Kids with Guns
One of The most unsafe things I've run into is untrained kids with shotguns. If there fathers would just not carrie a gun themselves and walk with there children showing and telling how to hunt safely around other people, the world would be a nicer place.

Hunting with someone and then when it comes time to clean the birds they claim "It makes them sick".
That irks me pretty good too. People telling my dogs commands while my dog ignores them wondering "who the heck is that guy".
Even worse are people who try to intercept my dog during a retrieve to get their bird immediately. Either they can find it themselves or the dog retrieves to my hand.
IMO, being far from the greatest lands for pheasant hunting, the worst is a "quitter". Someone who whines about wanting to sleep in, or wanting to head back to the hotel, or wanting to go home before the trip is over.

I got a little chuckle out of that as well, Life is pretty darn good when that is at the top of the pet peeve list.
This has been a pretty enjoyable thread to read. You would think with so many of us hunters sharing many of the same dislikes in the field there would be less and less of the people doing these idiotic things, but I too have a few friends that I will not invite with for many of the same reasons already listed.
Another pet peeve of mine that isn't pheasant hunting related is the guy in the duck blind that manages to be the one that has knocked down every duck that hits the water. No matter if he is shooting at a group 20 yards the other direction his magic bullett has hit them all.
I think on points comment about non walnut guns was tongue in cheek. But it was funny and a great point. Check out the gun and ammo thread he started, case and point.
