DAMN Blue Jays!!!!! I had about 12 of these little bastages all over me last night for 3 hours and they would not SHUT UP!!!!!! It was like being at the national "Mother in Law" convention and I was the only son in law.

I can't stand those damn chipmunks . . . . they're good at sneaking behind me and scaring the crap out of me. Plus I tend to lose an arrow or two each year trying to shoot them when they piss me off!

Raccoons. Little bastards climb up the back side of your tree and try to bite you in the arse. Damn near fall out of the stand swatting at them with an arrow.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke‎

"The time at which I stand before you is full of interest. The eyes of all nations are fixed on our Republic. The event of the existing crisis will be decisive in the opinion of mankind of the practicability of our federal system of government. Great is the stake placed in our hands; great is the responsibility which must rest upon the people of the United States. Let us realize the importance of the attitude in which we stand before the world. Let us exercise forbearance and firmness. Let us extricate our country from the dangers which surround it and learn wisdom from the lessons they inculcate."

-Andrew Jackson, 2nd Inaugural address, 1833

Both blue jays and squirrels. Damn squirrels are the snitches of the forest. I think they hang out by you and rat you out to all the deer!

That's funny kdm......but I personally hate red squirrels. Get tired of listening to them chatter.

I hate squirrels and the crows are just annoying! And the obvious foot stomping does that tell everthing around there is danger!!! Also, the skunks on the way back to the pickup!!

Red Squirrel! Had one sit about 3 trees away from me and bark at me non-stop. Almost wasted a broadhead on the little jerk, but I knew it would ruin the arrow if it went into the tree.

Just a nice red river cat.

Red squirrels hands down. They run around in the leaves so you can't hear anything specific and chatter the entire time.

Sasquach. They are always after my jerky

Raccoons scare me. They are big enough to do some damage.

Had this happen last year. Must have been migrating through in a big group because I never even see singles. They are extremely loud.

LMAO

If we're not supposed to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?

One of the areas I hunt has had swallow nests above where I sit. Those freaking birds come swooping in at me while making all kinds of noise. Hate them things! I've also had the insides scared out of me by a hen pheasant that came flying in and about hit me where I was set up.

However, out of all of them... I HATE THE FOOT STOMPING DOES WITH A PASSION!!! If I had the tags, I'd send an arrow through the pump station of every one of them I encounter and have a boat load of jerky to enjoy!

The coolest critters I've encountered was a pine marten (in Canada bear hunting) and some sort of chicken looking thing in Canada that puffs itself out like crazy. Those were cool!
