If you could only hunt one.
If you can only choose one which one would you hunt for?

Re: If you could only hunt one.
I chose small game because you can hunt most of them year-round using a variety of methods. If you had another poll that asked my favorite kind of hunting, you would get a different answer.
Hey Rauly, where you been? Good to see a post from you! I thought maybe you'd actually eaten that "breakfast" I sent you - and croaked. :grin:

Re: If you could only hunt one.
I would have to go with big game because that's all I have ever really hunted for so far. From what I have learned here and there, it seems like more goes into preseason, season, and post season for the big game than the others. Although you do spend quite a bit of time with the dawgs during preseason for fowl.

Re: If you could only hunt one.
Big game all the way. An interesting poll would be, of the category you picked, what species within that category.
(elk elk elk elk)

Re: If you could only hunt one.
Hunting big game is a more efficient way to fill your freezer. One elk=1000 quail(or more)

Re: If you could only hunt one.
Big game, because I enjoy the hunt and stalk of Deer and Elk. Upland birds are fun also but not quite on the same level as still hunting in the timber.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Save big bucks on licenses, tags, rifles, 4x4 pickups, camping gear, etc. etc. and instead buy your meat at Safeway. Its a much more efficient way of filling the freezer than any kind of hunting!...

Re: If you could only hunt one.
Northwest coastal Blacktails. Something about bowhunting those late season ghosts. Nothing like a big old white-faced ruttin blacktail with a double throat patch and a heavy set of dark mahogany antlers. Whether coming to the horns and or a doe bleat or sneaking through the heavy timber on a rainy day. What a challenge. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the fall. Doesn't get any better.

Re: If you could only hunt one.
Whenever someone asks what should be their first gun for a kid my dad and I always recommend a shotgun. You get a lot more shots, have a lot more oportunities to hunt, and kids will stay intersted in the sport.
I guess I'm still a kid at heart because I would rather go through a box of shells in a day that being fortunate to tourch off a couple of rifle shots in a year.
