Might have to think about this. Think it might be coyotes.

Tough call...
Turkeys. No, Whitetails. No, definitely hogs... But maybe Sika. Nope, definitely Muleys, but no...

Heck, I CAN'T PICK!

In all seriousness, I love the interaction you get with a fired up spring gobbler, and having not yet experienced elk, my nod goes to the long beards...

Pigs. Abundant, year round, taste good, suitable for spot and stalk, etc.etc. What's not to like!

I would have to say squirrels and cottontails. It is just a nice woods walk with plenty of shot opportunities.

If I lived out West it would be elk. Out east I have to go with whitetails BUT every year I take a trip to try a new experience and I must say they have all been great. Caribou, mountain lion, muleys, antelope, bear, and this year moose.....

Although they drive me crazy, I love hunting elk. Some folks around here would tell you that they are easy; they are my nemesis, but they live in the greatest country around, and listening to bulls bugle and smelling that 'elk' smell is as good as it gets. In lots of years of hunting them, I have only put 4 in the freezer, but hope springs eternal!

Elk....followed very closely by mule deer.  If I could ever get a tag I'm sure sheep would pass up both of those.

Nothing on earth like the a screamin', drooling, bull elk walking in under the canopy of a old forest...I can hear a crunch of twigs off to the right and then...that primeval scream following by a deep belly chuckle...come on Sept!
