Whitetails. No doubt.
Unless it was bugling season, then of course elk.
If fresh snow has just fallen, I'd have to say moose.
When the chokecherries are turning red and the sage smells so good, probably mule deer.
Heck, what was the question again?

Coues deer with a bow, the most challenging & rewarding of them all. Stone sheep would be right up there too.

If they were available and I was young enough to walk a lot-Quail. Like it is now-White tail deer. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Mr. Bob White.
Scary how a few of those feathered bombs can discombobulate both men and dogs.

Never chased elk so this could change one day...
Mule deer for me right now.

speed goats...........i like hunting elk but it can be horribly masochistic at times.......pronghorn however is always fun, weathers warm, and if you actually hunt them instead of long range sniping they are a freaking blast.......crawling through the sagebrush, "playing cow" with my wife across flats........creeping up on them to discover a rattler sunning himself on a rock a foot or so infront of your face to get the blood really pumping though im really tempted to say ground squirrel i spend more hours after them than anything

Elk, always have and will until I can't hunt

Tough call. Digger squirrels or blacktail deer. Blacktails are probably the most fun, but one shot and I'm done for the year. I can hunt diggers dang near year round.

Um, probably mule deer. Or maybe pronghorns. Or pheasants of Cape buffalo. Then again there are axis deer: a lot of fun to hunt when free-ranging, beautiful, and REALLY GOOD TO EAT. But then again so are moose and elk.
Ruffed grouse are about as much fun as pheasants, and then there are cottontails--and both can be hunted with dogs. Oh, forgot about gemsbok and kudu and bushbuck. Or red stag! The nice thing about them is you can generally hunt during the roar with a rifle.
Or maybe caribou. They aren't too bright, but they are beautiful and have HUGE antlers and taste good, and generally they also live in excellent fishing country. Then there are Canada geese. Hard to beat a big flock coming into the decoys, and my wife knows how to cook them.
Geez, what a question. Ask something simple next time, like two big game rifles for everything on earth.
