Mine.

1. Pronghorn Antelope
2. Elk via stalking
3. Caribou of any sort
4. Bears of any sort
5. Bison

Deer don't really do it for me, not sure why. And whitetails do less for me than mulies and blacktails.

to be fair to myself in my assessment I will not include the species that are on my "to-do" list.

1. mule deer/Coues deer tie for #1.
2. black bear
3. antelope
4. whitetail
5. elk

2 & 3 are interchangeable for position.

My to do list:

caribou, moose, cougar, hog, red stag, brown bear, havelina, and African plains game.

1. Deer
2. Elk
3. Sheep
4. Antelope
5. Bear

The order depends on what I get drawn for in a particular year. I will have done all but #5 and hope to resolve that in a couple of years with a brown bear hunt in SE Alaska.

For me it would have to be:
#1 Mountain Goat
#2 Bighorn Sheep.
#3 Free Ranging Elk. No fences please.
#4 Pronghorn Antelope.
#5 Mule Deer/Black Bear (TIED)

I'm fortunant that I've been able to take all the above. You can keep the whitetails as far as I'm concerned. I've shot a bunch of them and they just don'e excite me much.

Animals, I'd like to take in order:

#1 Dall Sheep
#2 Grizzly/Brown Bear
#3 Woodland Caribou
#4 Moose
#5 Stone Sheep
Of those, I'll probably end up with all of them except the Stone Sheep. I just can't rationalize spending over $20K for one of them.

1. whitetail
2. hogs
3. bobcats
4. coyotes
5. tie between blackbuck & aoudad

For right at 30 minutes this evening, I watched a mature bobcat groom himself in a clear-cut. Trapping/furbearer season is still going, but the pelts are no longer fully prime, so he got a free pass. Hopefully he'll be around in December and give me another opportunity.

I love these polls!

1) Sasquatch
2) Chupacabra
3) Smiladon
4) Megaladon (Interior)
5) Megatherium

I like the .666" Teufel in a magazine rifle for all except the Chupacabra - too fast to get a bead on em! I use a drum mag converted M1 Super 90 for them. Big Grin

1) Coues Whitetail (These are fun)
2) Sitka blacktail (never have but really want to hunt em.)
3) Black Bear (unlucky so far here in AZ)
4) Caribou
5) Mule deer (To make my "deer slam")

A "deer slam" is the only slam I will ever be able to afford. I think it is still a nice accomplishment.

# 1-----Spring Turkey---love hearing the gobble, it's just like hunting elk except after you shoot you can pick them up with 1 hand.

#2----Elk No need to explain

#3----Bighorn Sheep----they live in God's Country.

#4---Shiras moose---Best meat I've eaten.

#5---Oryx--They are just a neat animal. But I've got my 1 in lifetime off the White Sands Range in NM.
