Big whitetails in the Southeast are pretty tough to kill with the long seasons and pressure they get !! It seems almost impossible to get one sometimes !! And it makes you appreciate them when you do get one !!
I have hunted mulie's out west and it was incredible hunting........spot and stalk with a bow seemed about as good as it gets !! I have hard time imagining that Iwould never do that again!!
But with the question at hand...........killing a big whitetail around here is the most challenging hunting I have ever been faced with !! So I would have to go with the illusive whitetail !!
