Ok Whats your top three favorite animals to hunt.And what is you dream/quest animal to hunt?
Mine are as follows-Deer,Squirell(ducks would be next but they are gunned not Trad for me yet),Turkey. and my quest would be ELK!!!!
Elk, bison and bighorn sheep. Quest would be Mooose.
Favorite......Whitetail deer, taste great
Dream Hunt....Grizzly, I would be scared to the bone, but that's the fun in it.
Elksong, Thats not fare due to where you live. :campfire:
Favorite...Caribou, Moose and Black Bear.
Dreaming of living in Alaska again to go after Grizzly.
White Tail deer, Mule deer, and Elk. Dream hunt Moose.
Groundhogs, whitetails, hogs
Dream hunt-caribou
Whitetail Deer, turkey, & squirrel. My dream beast is Bighorn Sheep with Moose a close second. A moose hunt may happen in British Columbia this coming fall.
Deer, Rabbit, squirrel are favorites.
Of all my dream hunts getting after geese would be #1 right now but there are others that are very high up there also, animals like pigs, antelope, and elk.
God bless,Mudd
Pigs, hogs & swine are my favorite 3 (in no particular order)
My dream hunt would be for Red River Hogs. They are the coolest looking critter on the planet, far as I'm concerned!

Rob they are pretty cool looken
I must add Red stag would be an incredible animal to get to hunt as well.
Favorite - Deer with Turkey close second. I like squirrel and rabbit cause its keeps my kids interested too.
Dream - Bear
I am going to pig hunt next time I visit relatives in Florida.
Odocoileus virginianus, or whitetail deer. I will try squirrel hunting this winter, maybe. My dream hunt would likely deer hunting in a southern state where there are greater numbers of them.
Elk, whitetail, black bear. Dream would be a big male African lion. But that will never happen. Drawing a Maine moose tag is my possible dream hunt.
Whitetail deer. As smart as me so it's a super challange. Adaptable so they are found most everywhere hereabouts. Can be still-hunted or ambushed from ground or treestands. Is large enough to be a real prize and plentiful enough you actually can (usually) see one or two every day afield.
God gifted us with the perfect beast to hunt.
!!!! H O G S !!!!
wish list - ELK !!!!
Whitetail is my favorite, followed closely by spring turkey. Pig hunting is my least favorite. Of course these are the only big game animals I have hunted.
lpcjon2 - Monitarily it is a long way off!LOL. Unless I can draw a tag for here :pray: ,But I have been putting in forr alot of years....
Deer turkey any small game. My dream hunt would be a kodiak on kodiak island followed closely by a black bear. Much more doable.
Keeping the Faith!
Magnus
Deer, any kind. May go for Elk this year,After last weekend at Ray H's....pigs. Dream hunt would be Goat or sheep in the high country!
Elk, white tails and mule deer. I always have a bear tag in my pocket and would really like to go back to Walters Wilderness camp and hunt bears..
Living in illinois it's whitetail's. But I think chasing elk would be a great time.
Elk, Whitetails and Bear. Elk the favorite, they are an awesome challenge.
Black Bear, Whitetails and Squirrels.
A Moose hunt or Red Stag would be my dream hunt.
Blacktail, Roosies and nutria. Dream hunt would be cougar with hounds, or moose.
Pigs, javelina, whitetail. Dream hunt is harder to define - probably grizzly.
Easy, ELK !!!!
Nutria,roe deer,rabbit.I harvested my first boar ever a couple of weeks ago, but I would be happy to try my hand on a big tusker.
Hogs! followed by deer and squirrels.
my dream hunt would be to hunt a black bear.
Turkeys in the south! going elk hunting in 2011 for the 1st time
1.Hogs 2. Antelope 3. Deer
toss up between elk and antelope for faves, mule deer right there next.
dreaming- mountain goat would be number 1 there, but sheep and big bears are close.
Whitetails, Elk, Moose. Quest= Yukon moose or Mountain Goat, or Turkey can't decide

I prefer to be active. Small game and birds allow me to walk about or at least actively call.

My dream hunt right now is hogs. Haven't done it and I want to.

pest control wise chipmunks and starlings. hunt this guys property and there so many chipmunks its not even funny and they destroyed his yard, garden, getting into the house and have bitten his dogs a few times. so he said if im hunting his land help him take a chunck out of the munk population. starling are tricky targets got one with the pellet pistol and one with a blow gun.
The biggest one in season when I have a tag in my pocket.
Coyotes,then squirrels and rabbits.
goats, pigs, rabbits.
dream hunts- tahr, chamios, ibex, any sheep, mt. goat, any deer, elk, high country mulies, bear
and a fully primitive deer hunt.
FAVORITE. WHITETAIL, SQUIRREL, RACCON
dream hunts would be elk and a big brown bear all of the ground.
My favorite would be whitetails.
Hogs are way cool, but second.
Number three would be a DIY Black Bear.
hogs, whitetails and squirrels.......my dream hunt would be a Montana or Kanas whitetail hunt
Mule deer in the sage brush, blacktails in the rainforest, and elk anywhere, for my favorites. Goats and pigs are fun too!
Dream animal, thar or chamois or stone sheep or wait, maybe Marco Polo sheep or heck, water buffalo, kudu would be cool as well, arrrgh! Too many choices, not enough time or money!
Anything on the wing is my favorite. I have plenty on my list of things to hunt soon, but I would guess that hogs are going to be the first taken off of the list.
Elk in the high country

Timely IpJ. Hope to put an elk hunt together for this August in either Oregon or Kentucky. I'm going to ask you guys for help soon as I get a round tuit.
1. Elk (I dream elk hunting! no kidding!)
2. Moose
3. Whitetails
I think my favorite animal to hunt would be the one with BIG LUNGS!!!!!!! lol
Seriously - Elk, Carribou, and Tahr are way up on my bucket list.
Bisch
I love to hunt Groundhogs the best.Whitetail Deer 2nd,and then Turkeys.
favorite animal to hunt. 1 Bear 2 elk 3 Mule deer. stumps you got to love stumps : :archer2:
Favorite to hunt would probably be wild boar or feral hog (depending on what part of the country I'm in). They're a blast in that they're pretty bright, they often cook up well and they're a nuisance animal to boot.
I don't have a dream hunt anymore per se, I've hunted coastal brown bear as a "dream hunt" and had a real good time but nowadays I enjoy the hunting more than the capture on the big animals. Nowadays to me there is a quality with the larger animals where I'd rather be in amongst them than killing them...> but that could change at any moment depending on their attitude.
I love to hunt, so anything in season and legal,
I love it.
Would love to hunt Elk someday! Love Deer hunting. But it is hard to beat Turkey hunting in the Spring woods of South Carolina. Hogs in South Carolina are a close 2nd.
Whitetails, Moose, Mule Deer and they are all doable.
Favorite? Tough question. It's probably a toss-up between roosies and Rocky Mountain elk. But I also enjoy hunting mulies.
As to an animal I'd like to hunt, someday I hope to draw a once-in-a-lifetime Washington State moose tag that I've been applying for for years.
ELK! The rest is just filler between Septembers...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/tlclum/IMAG0061.jpg)
Whitetails and turkeys in Michigan.Elk in Colorado,one season under my belt and I'm seriously hooked on it.Dream hunt I would have to say caribou during a massive migration.Or maybe Southern hogs,or maybe moose in B.C.,or Dall's sheep in Alaska,or...
Whitetail deer Turkeys and Hogs and just about anything else that will stand still long enough fo me to get a shot off.
My dream hunt would be Elk or pronghorn antelope. The antelpoe hunt is in the works as I am hoping to get this going this fall.
Highplains and Curt,
Either you guys live on a different planet or those photos are "shopped"! Where are the roads, the electric lines, I don't even see a beer can for authenticity-sake!
And Curt, thanks for the woods for my Schafer!
Roy,I can't wait to see your bow,thanks!
Wild Idaho from today

Is that lion now dead? I don't know anything about them, but I would be a little worried if there are 2 dogs within 3 feet of it, and the lions attention is on the guy with the camera. That looks like an awesome day spent afield. As for me I was at work all day.
No the lion was not hurt.This is what happens when your the first one there and the guy with the collar handset to get the dogs off is still way below.The lion bailed to a tree just after this.I agree, not the best situation for the dogs.
I was there solely for the exercise,not my dogs and no interest in harvesting a lion,I love seeing them though.

1. whitetail deer
2. pigs
3. predators
dream hunt, moose in alaska. i've been sevral times but never to hunt. i stalked within 10 yards of a small one feeding in a slough, and within 40yards of a monster. since then thats all i can think about
Bowfishing for carp.... because there's no limit :-)
Shooting starlings with my pellet rifle comes in a close second... there's no limit limit on starling either.
If I ever get my newest bow tuned and shooting to POA this summer's goal is a ground hog.
Oh and deer too...but does anybody else like seeing them so much they pass on 1 or two before the resolve to take one wells up?
Man, Curt!
Those are the most action-packed photos I've ever seen on TG!
Holy Crap!
I take it back, I'm glad I don't live in Idaho anymore.
Yeah, you're up the hill before the outfitter and you do it for the exercise...maybe I shouldn't schedule my workouts when you're in the gym.
Favorites: Moose, black bear, and feral hogs
Dream: Brown/grizzly bear on the ground, a la Monty Browning

She never allows me to post her pic.
Whitetail deer , black bear . The dream would be rosevelt elk . I would settle for drawing an elk tag here in Michigan though .
Whitetail deer and hogs... dream hunt(s) elk, mule deer, antelope.
Once you have had a big bull elk bugling , stomping , tearing up brush and blowing snot all over the place 50 yards away from you there is no other animal to hunt after that. I have been an elk hunter for over 40 years. I kill some blacktails along the way and some bears and some cats ect but I am an elk hunter. I do love huge blacktail bucks though. Still there is no question about what is first. ELKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Any critter that lets me get within 20 yds. and turns broadside!! O YEA!!!!!
Carp. Bowfishing is the most fun you can have with a stick and string.
Mountain Goats, same answer as always. Always looking down on the kingdom below....
BIGFOOT :scared: :scared:
Elk, whitetail and spring gobblers. Don't really have a dream hunt...nothing I know of I'd rather hunt than the above.
Midwest Whitetails, Eastern Gobblers and Colorado Bugling Bull Elk!! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Elk. Nothing like Bugling Bulls when the leaves are changin.
1. Whitetail
2. Fish (Bighead Carp)
3. Bear
4. Dream (Finally connecting on an Elk)

My Favorite so far is whitetail and I really enjoy carp too. I think my dream hunt would be moose.
Hogs, lots of them, no limit, no season, a little bit of danger, perfect bow target.
Elk, Mule Deer and Mountain Goat. My Dream Hunt would be Caribou any where that there is a lot of them.
Mule deer, Elk, wild Hogs, dream hunt Africa-Water Buffalo !
Mule deer,elk and turkeys in no paticular order.
Dream hunt would be any big game(some small) I haven't hunted yet...whitetail,hogs,bison,desert big horn,mt goat,caribou,moose,eastern turkey and on and on.... :pray:
I gotta go with deer and turkeys cause that's pretty much all I got here. I certainly would enjoy taking a moose...1st choice would be in the Yukon but maybe VT, NH or ME...someday.
Oh, I would looooove to chase some hogs anywhere!
