Whitetails have been the food staple for me...but I love hunting all ungulates and black bear, I really need more time to get into goats...

Definitely Elk, especially in the rut...Mule deer are a close second.
Spot and stalk bear hunting above alll else.
Grouse hunting is a close second for the exact opposite reasons.
Next year im going to jump both feet into elk, with 6 weeks off mid aug and all September, so if you ask the question again then... it may just change !!
I am a Monday to Friday worker throughout hunting season so getting out of the Okanagan does not work for me. So, my favorite is bow hunting whitetail. Starting to get interested in spot and stalk Mulies (So far without success). Would love to have the time to dedicate to elk or moose but that may need to wait until retirement. Not complaining, it just is what it is! Grateful for the opportunities I do have!
For me nothing beats watching the biggest land animal in North America pile up in his tracks after being hit by something the size of a pebble. Gotta be Moose Hunting.
Black bear in the spring and moose in the fall. Whatever it takes to get out though, that grouse I saw while working yesterday got me excited! Haha.
Sounds like Elk are top of the list! Thanks for all the responses. I find sometimes I want to hunt every species but I'm trying to tone that down and target specific species now. Next year, going to focus on Elk!
Mule deer in the Alpine early Sept or mid Nov rut tops my list but really hard not to like Elk hunting and Stone Sheep hunting, reality is as long as were able to hunt in BC its a good thing no matter what you hunt.
7-6.5 PRCW the best cartridge since the 280 Ackley 👍
I guess I would have to say big whitetail bucks!
