Only one animal!!

If and I say JUST, if we could only hunt one rascal..........What would it be?

Pronghorn ElkDeerMooseAlopeGator Lion.

Or...
It's a toss-up.
Muzzle loader deer is a fantastic hunt here. The fun, challenge, and good weather are an even bigger factor than actually filling a tag. And... good areas are close by.

Elk hunting is a lot of fun, and has a big payoff - but the weather is horrible, hunt success rate is very low, and it's a bigger time investment.

Antelope hunting is hell for me. The hay fever makes me look, sound, and feel like some one going into anaphylactic shock from a bee sting allergy. But the success rate is 90%+, it's good meat, there is plenty of opportunity for multiple tags, and there's nothing quite like a good stalk on the fastest animal in North America (and the fastest long-distance runner in the world).

I think Antelope would win out, but it would be a tough call.

I don't know if I could choose between Pronghorn Antelope or Elk, i like hunting mule deer too but, I guess if push came to shove it would be the speed goats.

Feral rhinohog.

davlandrum · April 7, 2011, 06:33 PM

Mule deer if I was hungry, elk if I was not....

COW........has my favorite meat

L_Killkenny · April 8, 2011, 02:41 PM

Toss up between coon or sqabbit. Gun deer season is too short where as I can hunt coon November, December and January with unlimited bag limits and add a couple more months and virtual unlimited bag limits if I choose sqabbit.

Sqabbit it is!

Polaticians?

I'd have to agree with cow, more meat per round although I sure would miss bacon.

Dirty, dirty animals, nearly always fed an improper diet.

Bison are the answer to your "beef" eating needs!

Mammals of course..

hooligan1 · April 8, 2011, 04:30 PM

Hey fellas I'm sure glad you're having some fun here but the Original Poster was serious!!

So let's stay on track here..

mrgoodwrench76 · April 8, 2011, 05:13 PM

Well in that case, are we allowed to travel or restricted to what is in our own area?

Kreyzhorse · April 8, 2011, 05:22 PM

Whitetail since I can hunt them without much travel involved.

bullspotter · April 8, 2011, 05:31 PM

so is this one animal for your life or like one a year???

If their was one animal we could hunt every year like a normal season i would say elk hands down. If their was only one animal we could hunt for life, i would say a polar bear hunt would be in order.......

gearhounds · April 8, 2011, 05:47 PM

OK then...white tail deer.

BikerRN · April 8, 2011, 05:53 PM

If I was limited to hunting one animal, given my present location, it would be deer.

I'd much prefer to hunt an Elknbearanantelbou.

Double Naught Spy · April 8, 2011, 06:02 PM

I will be honest with you. I am having enough trouble with the one animal I am trying to hunt that apparently has stealth technology - feral hog. To add another would just confuse me.
