That's a tough one. Like most folks, I love hunting whitetails and that's still what I mostly hunt. I've killed elk, antelope, caribou, and moose. From those I've hunted I'd have to give the not to moose with caribou a close second. Why? Mostly because where they live. Hunting moose and caribou is an adventure. It's an adventure just getting to where you hunt them (talking Canada). I love being in the wilderness and the further from a town, the better. I'd love to hunt sheep, but can't seem to draw a tag here in Montana and I can't afford a sheep hunt in Canada, Alaska, etc.

As far as killing a mature animal, there is no doubt that killing a mature whitetail is more difficult than a moose or caribou but that's just part of the reason I like to hunt. If you've never hunted a place where you are totally cut off from the outside world (no phone, no tv, no radio, etc.) for 10 days or so, you owe it to yourself to have that experience. Warning: It's addictive.

I didn't know a turkey was considered a big game animal.
