If you were limited to hunting one animal exclusively ... what would it be and why?
Mine would be cape buffalo. To get in the herd and look them over - then leave if you don't find the right one - to me is awesome. I only wish you didn't have to travel so far to hunt them. I'd be happy just hunting them exclusively if I could do it more.

Pheasant. Even if you go scoreless on the day, being out there watching the dogs work is alot better than most days.

Probably whitetails. Mostly because I can't think of any other big game animals that inhabits as wide a variety of different locales/ecotypes. That and tags are easy to come by in most places.

Without a doubt, whitetail. Nothing gets my blood going like a day in the woods chasing whitetails.

Probably Red Stag in Hungary. Magnificent creatures and a great locale. You could definitely get some quality "unwind" time in Budapest and across the border in Vienna.
(My answer would be totally different if the question was "If you had only one hunt left in your lifetime, what would it be?")

If I could get tags elk.
Blacktail deer fascinate me too and you can get tags.

Tought call for me. There is nothing like a turkey gobble on a spring morning.
But walking the northern MN woods on a cool October day with a mist in the air, orange, yellow, and brown leaves falling to the ground. And a big fat grouse busting through the popples setting your heart into your throat is not something I could ever give up. Not ever.
Camp is where you make it.

As much as I love squirrel hunting I would have to go with cotton tails instead.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Ditto on the last 2! Elk would be my choice. In my eyes, any elk is a good elk, which is something I can't really say about any other big game animal.

Elk. If I don't draw a tag here in Alberta, I can just get an OTC tag in a non-draw WMU. Best of both worlds here!

"...the rest of your life..."
Only one choice: Squirrels!
I'll be able to afford to hunt squirrels when I'm living on Social Security. I'll be able to pack them out as long as I can still hobble about. They taste good! And it will ease my transition to the next life because a hardwood ridge on an autumn day is the closest thing to heaven I know!!!
