Bois De Arc Bottom Sasquach, Been on a big buck for three years, always hangs up at about 40 yds. Then gets nocturnal as the weather warms up. By the way what do you guys think about using a "game tracker" for sasquach?

The hardest thing to get with a bow is pass shooting doves in Iowa.

the question has alot of parameters....difficult can mean alot...some animals are hard to hunt due to the expense,,,....I would vote Grizzly Bear
(assuming its not a problem bear habituating human activity )

...dangerous...smart...can't pattern...can't bait..... hard to locate..and you need nerves of steel and the courage of a wolverine.... to even think about taking the shot at 25 yards or so.....

A four year old whitetail doe on public land in the northern lower of MI.   :)

I just started hunting turkeys 5-6 years ago and I've often thought that if a turkey had a deer's nose, they'd be awfully tough to kill with a bow.  

Toughest? I would think a wolf or coyote - I'm amazed at the guys who pull it off fairly routinely. My hat is off to them.

I've also thought the Mt. Goat would be the toughest if getting a tag isn't part of the formula.
 
Actually, IMO, getting the tag is the toughest part!  Yes, they live in difficult country, but they are not that wary of man and in fact can get kinda obnoxious.  Never hunted them, but been around them a whole lot.  Right off, I can't think of a single hunter that I know who has drawn a goat tag in CO and not killed their goat.
