[Elkaholic]

No adult tagsfor zone 48 this year. :( DAN>>>

[YukonJack]

8) Has to be the bears...black ones at that. Tasty *******s...

[416]

l like hunting......period!! Although l choose swamp donkeys as my fav, l enjoy hunting any big game. l can remember in years gone by having three or four extra pages added to my license booklet for more speices tags :D

Bow season .... eight days and counting 8) 8)

[bochunk2000]

I selected deer because it takes more effort that bears I think Elk is my holy grail but I need an LEH for them here. One day it will work out for me. :D

[tracker]

I like whitetail the best.Second would be bear.

[Rufus]

I pick deer, mulie first then whitetale. :)

[stonesheep]

My all time fav has to be Mountain Goat....... :D

[3kills]

i agree 100% with 416 on i like hunting period...but since i can only pick one i put moose as they are one of the best eating in my books....[/quote]

[Thunderstix]

Elk and bear are close but I think Elk edges out the blackies. Now if bears could bugle, it would probably go the other way :wink:

[swamper]

Hands down I like moose the best followed by mule deer. Getting all set for opening day of archery season on Sept 1st. Willyqbc and I are heading out for a 6 day archery hunt in 7-08. Everything is open there, including 6 point elk. It will be nice to be out bowhunting and not getting frustrated buy rifle shots. Every time I hear a shot I think someone got something.

Moose first, followed by Grouse ( grouse breast with a Chardonney sauce and Morrel and Shaggy Mane mushrooms over wild rice )

[270WIN]

I agree with coaster but crouse with a bow chasing those thing on ground to try to get a shot fun fun

[Gateholio]

I voted deer, but actually, I love spring bear hunting. I see tons of bears, but rarely shoot! :D

[Tank]

peace country mulies are my hands down favorite! but i'll be chasin the elk around seriously for the first time this year....my favorite may change by the time winter arrives

[Marc]

Well to tell you the truth I shot my first Blacktail deer last fall and my first black bear this spring. The only other big animal I've hunted successfully is whitetail deer back east. I haven't had the opportunity to try out all the other animals to pick a favorite yet. I've seen a couple dozen elk since I moved to the Island and there is something majestic about them. If I ever get an LEH for elk I think this might be the magical animal you speak off.

[Steeleco]

Like all you other folks as long as I'm hunting I'm happy, but to hunt Black bears is very thriilling at times. There's nothing like tracking a bear thats doing an endrun on you!!

[Buckwheat]

I love bear hunting!!! i got me 2 already and im a junior!!!!

[brotherjack]

I pick deer, mulie first then whitetale. :)


Ditto for me on that! Never had a moose tag around here (and too cheap/lazy to drive up north for one), and elk are the most frustrating thing on planet earth to hunt. Bears - ummm, not so nice to eat, and not enough of them close to home to make for easy pickins...


Deer on the other hand - oh, now that's some good fun right there! Stalking through the high country glassing mulies lookin for the right one, or sitting down in a valley waiting on Mr Big whitetail to show up at his water hole; either one gets me going. :)

[Big7]

No body has mentioned sheep?

[rocksteady]

Oh come on Jack, embrace the challenge:biggrin::biggrin:

As you can guess I vote:

ELK
Predators
Whitetail Deer
Mulie
Mtn. Goat
Moose

Never done, but hope to someday:
Sheep
Caribou


Been there done that, not too interested anymore:

Black Bears
Grizz

[moosinaround]

Two years ago it would have been moose. But since I heard that first bugle from an elk, and being in on a wicked successful elk hunt last year it is now elk!! Two years ago marked my very first mulie buck kill as well, so mulies are on the list above moose too. Don't get me wrong, I still love chasing and calling in ole rubber noses, but elk is a new drug for me!! Elkinaroun.............. I mean moosinaround!lol

[brotherjack]

Oh come on Jack, embrace the challenge:biggrin::biggrin:


Bah, I like challenges that pay off!!! Deer hunting pays off nicely every year in time/effort vs lbs of meat in my freezer. Elk hunting, not so much (at least not for me).

[Avalanche123]

How could you forget Stone Sheep? It got the "other" vote by me.

[LeverActionJunkie]

I enjoy deer hunting cause I can get out within 20mins from the house and I find it relaxing. It is not too hard to find legal deer and I just enjoy stalking them, oohh yeah and eating them too :) :)

[srupp]

Moose...:redface:......

[hunter1947]

Elk all the way for this old chomper ,LOL.

[Tarp Man]

This should be broken down further, cause hunting Blacktails on the Island or west coast is unlike hunting any other deer. Moose certainly are my favorite eating animal, but I get to hunt Blacktails way more.

[6 K]

For it to be my favorite, it eather has to have four legs or fly:razz:

[better.run]

Clinton mulies are the way to go.

[mcrae]

Mulies this year it changes yearly for me...

[The 'Hummer']

If I went on the assumption I was only allowed one, without any hesitation it would be Moose. That was the first big game animal I ever hunted. As a kid in the interior, that was the main part of our meat diet for many years. Sirloin tip roast, garlic mashed potatoes and lots of dark Moose gravy, life doesn't get much better.:biggrin:
Second choice, Deer.

[lip_ripper00]

I love bear hunting!!! i got me 2 already and im a junior!!!!


Good thing someone in that household can bag game,.... or you would all starve.....:wink:

[358win]

BIG Mulie bucks in the snow......It dosen't get any better....

[TIKA 300]

DEER

It puts you into so many spots in this province,its crazy.

The way moose are spreading out,you never know,soon it might be moose for the same reason .........

[Caveman]

About to embark on an elk hunt, so I'm hoping with some luck my favorite is about to change. :grin:

[Sharkey]

I loves me grouse, but immy moose is a close second. Only because we got one last year and boy is he taaaaassty!

[The 'Hummer']

Now that you've brought the topic up.......... Ruff Grouse, my favorite game bird to hunt and none tastier.:smile:

[stickbow]

I voted swamp donkey but have to admit late season whitetail are sure fun.

[Chuck]

I really like head games, so I choose the whitetail buck.

[mark]

Obviously many have never truly had an elk hunting experience!

[boonerbuck]

Without a doubt it's mulies.

I love that time of the year when they are rutting and you can pass up on dozens of bucks hoping to cancel your tag on a whopper or that first week of Sept in the alpine when you are glassing a big batchalor herd and trying to figure out how you are going to pluck the big boy out of the group.

Elk is close but I have had limited opportunities to seriously hunt them. Tomorrow I will start my most serious elk hunt to date so my poll answer may be different in two weeks.:smile:

[hillclimber]

I don't have a favoutite animal but i mostly hunt mulies but as long as the animal i am hunting has horns i don't care waht im hunting as long as im in the bush

[moosinaround]

Obviously many have never truly had an elk hunting experience!
Hoping to have a few more this year!! Good luck up there Mark!! Moosin

[Mr. Dean]

After a bit of debate, I picked Deer.

It's nearly a tie with bear hunting though. Both species have different 'likable' aspects but muley's hedge the decision. What I like about them is that ya never know where one will lead you to (unpredictable).

But the blackies get me cranked.....

[curt]

dabbled in ekl hunting a bit great fun want to try more but for sure but right now something about calling moose in the rut gets my blood going!!!:razz:

[curt]

oops i feel dumb that should be elk right???:oops:

[finish]

MMMMMMMMM ELK!!!!!! By far the most exciting hunt!!

[The 'Hummer']

MMMMMMMMM ELK!!!!!! By far the most exciting hunt!!
I like hunting them, its just when it comes to the 'combo' of hunting and eating, young Moose is still my favorite.
