NY Bowhunter, I have to disagree, I think humans would be the easiest animal to hunt, that is unless you are looking for a specific one.

I also don't think elk hunting or mountain goat hunting is the hardest animal either. The conditions can be difficult, but the animals themselves are easily manipulated.

I would have to give my vote to the wolf as the hardest animal to bowhunt, given all the factors.

I'd just have to say goats and sheep simply because of their environment.

FIELD MICE are really tough.

The kill zone is so flippin' small and they are SO fast.
Sure, you can bait them with seed, but even from 3 feet away, it's like trying to hit a nickle!

Add to that the fact that they only come out of the grass for about 6 seconds at a time. Heck, that's hardly enough time to draw and get a sight picture, much less hit one!

Then if you do get lucky enough to nail one with an arrow, it's tough finding both halves of the little guy, and pulling your arrow out of the ground when it's buried half way.

I could go on about the difficulty involved with field dressing, but I don't think I have to. [8D]

Oops! You said BIG game, didn't you ?

Bear with a bow, no bait.

I agree humans would be the easiest to hunt in general. I was thinking more along the lines of a 1 on 1 hunt. Send one guy out to be hunted. He can go anywhere on the planet and you have to hunt him down. That would be tough. Unrealistic of course, but tough.

Though I haven't hunted many big animals, I'd put
coues deer with a bow near the top of the list. They
definitely have humbled me[:@][&:][:@]... I've got
enough unfilled tags to wallpaper a room
