Default What's your favorite animal to hunt?

I know that the majority of us spend our time chasing whitetails, but after my elk hunt last september... I'd trade 10 days of elk hunting for my whole whitetail season. Anyway, I'm just wondering how many people have a passion for animals other than whitetails.

I'm with you there but I am only able to hunt elk a very short period of time every year. I still enjoy chasing big whitetails and a gobbler in the spring.

I have hunted Whitetails much more than anything else, so to me a change of pace is a Blast. I have been fortunate to enjoy Bowhunting for Elk, Bear, Antelope, Turkey, and Mule Deer as well. Like I said I just prefer the change of pace. Last years Dec. trip to NE hunting Mule Deer in 10" of snow and zero temps has got to rank up thereas one of my all time Fun hunts!!

I choose bear hunting. I do all of my own baiting and stuff and thats half the hunt and the fun right there along with the bear hunting. Elk hunting is right in there too, thats one addictive animal once you start hunting them. They are probably the biggest challenge to me bow hunting, right in there anyway.

Fish are my favorite quarry.

When it comes to bigfurry critters, I've only hunted hogs, bearsand whitetails.My experiencebear hunting doesn't really count since it was thesix most boring 'hunting' daysin my life.[>:]

Somebody take me moose/elk/caribou/mulie hunting and then I can be a better judge of those critters.

My least favorite so far has been Antelope, but I am sure it depends on where you are sitting. I hunted North of Douglas, WY. in the early nineties and sitting in a Blind from before daylight until dark in 60 mph winds and 90+ degree tempswas mentally taxing. By the 3rd day I was ready to sit in the corner and start blowing bubbles, but I hung in there and got my Antelope.
Whew!! was I glad to spend a day walking around camp and Bullcrapping
