I grew up watching moose in northern MN and took a bull a few years back. Hunted and took all others mentioned and out of all I think that a trophy whitetail might be one of the wariest of all. As to what I prefer to hunt, I'd pick a bull elk anytime. Having them bugle down below you and seeing 50 head of elk fly down the side of a canyon not 20 yards away is just something I that will stay in my mind forever!! Hearing them bugle is worth it in itself and maybe that's why I'm hooked on turkey hunting as it is quite similiar to bowhunting elk.
