I've only ever hunted moose, whitetails and black bear. Lived a pretty sheltered life, I guess.
My favourite for all the reasons above is moose.
1.) Big animals.
2.) Loads of good lean meat.
3.) Rugged country to hunt.
4.) Usually accompanied by some hard work.
5.) Hunted during my favourite time of the year -- Autumn.
Whitetails are also fun, and not nearly as much work. The meat is good too, perhaps like it better than moose, but you gotta shoot a lot of deer to fill the freezer compared to a decent moose.
I have decided that I am really not a bear hunter anymore, though I love a good bear stew and fried tenderloins.
