Title: Big game or small game?
Post by: moleman on August 13, 2012, 09:43:00 PM: As much I love to hunt Whitetails and Turkeys, the action of hunting small game is second to none, i think the fact of more shooting opps. teters me to the small game side.
Which is your favorite? small game or big game? :campfire:

Post by: wooddamon1 on August 14, 2012, 03:13:00 PM: I like big game. Elk and deer, but I love just being out there and plus I can get some scouting in while keeping an eye out for the small stuff...

Post by: Shedrock on August 14, 2012, 04:33:00 PM: I like big game, but small game seasons are so much longer, and you get more shooting in.

You guys in states with hogs are lucky. That would be awesome to hunt them all year long.

Post by: Goshawkin on August 14, 2012, 08:36:00 PM: My favorite is hunting spring turkey with a bow,so I guess I'll go with medium game.Early season whitetails are cool too,but once November rolls around I switch to hunting rabbits,squirrels and ducks with my birds until the end of March.I do manage to get the bow out a few times for deer late season though.Hunting starlings is a blast with a longbow and blunts,puts hawk food in the freezer too.They're like mini blackbears on the baitpile. :p

But stalking carp in June and July is pretty cool too.
