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?"

RE: What is Not "Fun", to you?
I agree with the pressure issue Matt and others have mentioned. The reason that it REALLY bothers me, is that I don't hunt public land. Our neighbors (whom some have asked permission, but many have not) are allowed to walk our property through the spring/summer, but most walk year round. It's my parent's/uncle's property, so I can't really have a say, but if it were me, it would be off limits year round. Now that a few have permission, they feel they can walk dogs without leashes, go for runs, etc even in mid-season. They know it's hunting season (it's very rural and many of them either hunt themselves or know others who hunt), but it's as if they don't care. Because of this, many of my field corners are useless because of the pressure. This year, however, I'm posting signs and elminating ALL evening walking by mid-july, and walking/activity will ALL be eliminated come August and stay that way until spring.[:@]

The fact that every year I have to move to yet another new piece of ground.
Not knowing where exactly you'll be hunting for the next season until July or August..[:@]
These both blow. You take your pick on whats worse.

Getting your truck stuck in the mud....
Whats worse ? Getting 4 other trucks stuck trying to get ripped out and having to wait for the guy with the "big truck" that he always brags about, come pull you out. At least he's got a Ford !!
I would imagine that getting your truck stuck in the mud, during the early season, with a deer in the bed......would be far worse than both of the above.

RE: What is Not "Fun", to you?
Whats really no fun for me is making my way to a stand at dark:30 in the morning and walking right into a big fat spiderweb. You know the kind, it wraps ALL the way around your head and for the next 20 minutes you keep pulling web off yer head. THEN for the next 2 hours you swear you feel a spider crawling on you. Nope, no fun at all!
