The whitetail deer is considered by most authorities to be the most challenging game animal to hunt on this planet. Hence, it gets my vote for favorite animal to hunt under fair chase conditions. That rules out hunting over timed feeders.

I would say elk, I have hunted wt and mule deer but would have to say elk is the most challenging and in the most beautiful country.

I have hunted bear, turkey, whitetail, mule deer, elk, antelope, and every critter in between....and i just can't get past the majestic gray ghost....the mule deer...Its something with their antlers, the country where they live, and the thrill of the stalk.

If I had he good fortune to be able to hunt them, I am sure my favorite would be elk. They are a majestic animal and they live in beautiful country. Other than that, I think I like hunting coyotes next best. They are smart and hard to get. Deer seem to be pretty simple to hunt by comparison.

I've hunted deer, rabbit, squirrel and doves.My favorite will be Deer!!!

deer, pheasant , squirrel

I love hunting ducks, pheasants, and deer all very fun to hunt.

Since I got to go alligator hunting last year, I would have to say alligator. The bad thing is I don't know when I will get the chance again, so I'll go with Whitetails.

Whitetail as of now!

I would have to go with 007's answer. There's nothing like trying to get a spring gobbler in range when you can feel the ground rumbling from him gobbling.And the sound of Beagles hitting a hot Rabbit has never made me not smile and say "That's my dogs". And deer season is a whole nother feeling all to itself.

Currently I would say Whitetail deer with my Bow. But I have yet to go on an elk hunt, but getting within bow range of a bugling elk, I am confident it would move to the top of my list. Not to mention the beautiful country elk are found in would add to the hunt and make it all the better.

But also love goose hunting, and trying to get back into small game hunting again, since I loved it so much as a kid.

I enjoy hunting many creatures, but my favorite by far is the Canada Goose.

Elk for big game, wins in a walk. The country, the challenge, and that is real hunting.
Squirrels for small game, they are a challenge anyway you hunt them, but my favorite way is with a good dog and a .22LR.

whitails or coyotes

I think I will always love to hunt whitetail deer. They amaze me with their acute sense of smell, hearing and sight. There are probably animals that I have never had the chance to hunt, but I still think whitetail will be No. 1.

Bear & Deer...We dont have elk here in Minnesota so thats it for me.Bear is more of a rush/thrill but I only get a tag for that every 2 years...so deer is #1
