IF you could only hunt one animal...

[Skychief]

With seasons winding down, I thought I would ask the tough question....

IF (for whatever reason) you could only hunt one game animal with your muzzleloader forever more, what animal would you hunt?

Though it's an excruciating question to ponder, I would choose.......Turkeys.

What say you?

Skychief.

I would have to choose elk. Tasty, and the hide is very useful.

 

[Idaho Ron]

Mule deer. Ron

 

[Stumpkiller]

Grouse.

Second choice would be whitetail . . . if I couldn't use a recurve bow. ;-)

 

[chance]

Turkeys!!

 

[rabjr]

Its always been Whitetails for me..

 

[Trench]

Squirrels!

 

[dbutch]

Just invented a new word.....Grousewoodcockwaterfowl :grin:

I love being out in the beautiful fall woods with cooler weather more than any other season...and I look forward to NC's deer season (eastern whitetails) more than any other...so I have to pick fall deer season.

2nd choice - fall squirrels for similar reasons
3rd choice - spring turkey as sort of a mid-cycle hunting opportunity

Pigs Hands down

Bigger than deer (here anyway), tastier than deer, smarter than deer, they can hunt you back.

Turkey's,then deer. :thumbsup: Griz

 

[Loyalist Dave]

Deer!

I'd trap the squirrels. Not the same as "hunting". That's cheating the original thread, as I think it was meant to be, what is the single game animal you'd harvest if you could harvest only one? :grin: ???

OH wait, get a group of hunters, each harvest a different animal, then trade between each other!

[Dude you're reading waaay to much into the thread]

Oh sorry. :redface:

Hunting elk in the MLing season which normally includes the rut, would be it. The mountains are a treat in themselves, elk can be called in, constantly on the move {never was a good sitter} and the meat is excellent. A close second would be ruffed grouse hunting.....Fred

 

[biliff]

Bear.

 

[Shine]

Grouse or partridge up here they are easy to drag. :grin:

 

[Bob J]

Big Whitetail bucks! Big razorbacks would be a close 2nd (or wild turkey? :hmm: this is a difficult decision!).

Whitetail deer here, until the KY elk herd makes its way up to the northern parts of the state (no time soon.) Also enjoy dove hunting.

 

[S.Kenton]

White Tail Deer would be my choice. The chops summer sausage and jerky is like a treat that is unmatched by any other game animal in Ohio.IMO

 

[Lonegun1894]

The tasty ones, of course. I'm not picky.

Seriously, pick one, as in, just one? Really? Please say it aint so. Ok, I'd have to say pig. No closed season, no bag limit, good meat, and as has been said, they can hunt you back.

elk hands down, only got to hunt them once since you can only draw a tag once about every 20 years on average here but it would be so fun to do with a muzzy.
