Title: What animal would you hunt?
Post by: monsterbuck on June 03, 2012, 09:52:00 PM
If you could just hunt one game animal, and only one for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mine would defiantly be a Turkey. How bout yours? Can't wait to hear this..  Thanks!!!  God bless.

That's a tough one.... I'm still trying to check them all off my wish list! lol As of right now, with the species I have hunted, it would be whitetails.

Open broken country mule deer, or maybe caribou when they're not migrating,  wait, antelope in the Crooked Creek drainage if they ever come back in numbers.

Pretty much anything that's spot and stalk.  Blinds and trees just don't interest me anymore.

I live in the southeast. Started bowhunting whitetails with my dad at age 10. If I could just pick one, it would have to be them.

Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?
Post by: Whip on June 04, 2012, 09:32:00 AM
Without a doubt it is elk for me.  The only downside is that it generally means only a couple of weeks each year.  

If the decision involved considering the amount of time we get to hunt them in the fall, it would be tough to choose 2 weeks of elk versus months of hunting whitetails.

Please don't make me choose!  :pray:
Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?
Post by: smoke1953 on June 04, 2012, 09:36:00 AM
Though I'm a diehard whitetail hunter I would have to say mulies even though I've only done it twice. They provide the variety of habitats, multiple ways to hunt and the potential for something big that drive most hunters.

Whitetails only because such a long season to hunt. If not it would be Antelope!!

Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?
Post by: DarkTimber on June 04, 2012, 02:59:00 PM
High Country Mule Deer...If my body could handle it.  Elk would be a VERY close second!
Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?
Post by: Mint on June 04, 2012, 03:03:00 PM
It would have to be hogs for me with whitetails a close second. With hogs though you can stand hunt or spot and stalk and the meat hogs are just as much fun as shooting a big boar.
Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?
Post by: TxAg on June 04, 2012, 03:18:00 PM
Hogs.

No closed season. No restrictions. That means I can hunt day or night all year long whenever it's convenient.

You can spot/stalk, sit at a water hole, bait, or anything else.

Plus, I don't think we'll ever have to worry about their numbers dwindling.
Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?
Post by: ron w on June 04, 2012, 03:22:00 PM
Only one........it would have to be something without a season. I could hunt it [hogs?] everyday that I wished, when ever I wished. I guess this means I will have to move out of New York State....OK, sounds good!!!   :thumbsup:
Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?

elk. but elk would be second and then again elk would be third.
Title: Re: What animal would you hunt?

Without a doubt it'd be elk!  It's what keeps me sane the other 11 months out of the year.

No Fair Trick question.   :knothead:  

I would like to answer your question with another question.

If you put a man in a round room and tell him to pee in the corner..... ahh never mind.

I like deer and pigs but think I could get used to Goats, Moose and Elk.

In my area I'm pretty limited.
My dream animal is a huge red stag.
I'd love to hunt elk but they're not around.
Pigs sound like a blast but they're not around...yet.

I guess whitetails.

My choice is the magestic mule deer, spot and stalk.
