hey, you can hunt for hours and see many animals.... like deer, coons, hogs/pig/boars, squirrls, possoms, armodillos, etc..... but which one to shoot???

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

I would have to say whitetail but only because that is all I has been able to hunt. Once I have a chance at some others I may change my mind.

I've only hunted whitetails as well, but some day I might go out west and hunt muleys or something else new and strange.

#1 Elk

Why they are just so majestic and an absolute blast to chase each fall. Not much IMO compares to working them with calls, having a bull respond vocally and in presence to your offerings. Not to mention they our outstanding on the table to boot.

#2 Whitetail
What is not to like about whitetails, awesome animal to hunt

#3 Moose
Much like elk they are something to get working with the call. Contrary to believe a very smart animal just being the king of the deer family not much phases them but they get a wiff of you with them big noses and you can say by just like an elk or whitetail. Hunting them in their terrain takes a lot of planning and effort, once you actually get one the work begins and continues for a long time after the shot and pictures are taken. A lot of great meat off one of these suckers and love it almost as much as elk.

These 3 are really very close in my heart.

#4 Mule Deer
Unpredictable deer, they hate pressure and are very hard to pattern after the first few weeks of sept. Fun to hunt but not in the same league in my m ind as the above 3.

One thats in my freezer :D

First off, an elk isn't a deer, neither are moose and caribou, but they are all cervids.

I haven't hunted anything besides Whitetail yet, butI hope I can soon.
Just can't afford to pay a fortune for an elk hunt.

Of the animals above that I haven't hunted but I would love too, and are my favorite on the list, I choose the elk.

Also, when you said Sika, did you mean Sitka? Because Sitka deer are a type of Blacktail. Maybe Sika is a type of exotic.

youngguns they are considered in the deer family due to being all cervids. Do some googles and find out if they do not in fact call the moose the largestof the deer family!

Much to learn but yet you like to spout knowledge of which you have little of...:eek:!

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

I said elk aren't deer, I didn't say elk aren't members of thedeer family.
You're putting words in my mouth.

It's a shame, a master hunter is correcting youngguns just for fun, and he can't even read!

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

I think moose are awesome! Although I have never been fortunate enough to hunt them yet...

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

I don't think that we even needed a poll to determine that the whitetail would be the favorite. Maybe the poll should have been your favorite deer outside of whitetail?

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

Well the above statement is what I was referencing to...they are all classified as cervids which make them DEER. To me you sounded like you were poking fun at the poll. As far as my comment about your lack of knowledge based onhistory, the fact your inexperienced and acting otherwise isn't anything new, i personally don't like such traits. I don't consider myself a master hunter but I have some experience under my belt and chased many species. If you view that as a direct challenege your ego is much worse than I thought. I will refrain from commenting in the future to your posts, please accept my appology for ruffling your feathers. Have a good one

I would say my next deer is always my favorite, but that wasn't an option.

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

It is now.

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

I've only ever shot white-tail deer but I have hunted for sika deer in Eastern Maryland (didn't see any). I hope to hunt both elk and mule deer when I get more time and money :D

RE: Whats Your Favorite Deer ?
 

I answered Whitetail but in all actuality it would probaably e the one that is on my plate![8D]
