....I don't like to think about being limited to just one quarry, but pressed I'd say at this stage of life, with my family grown and off into the world on thier own, I'd have to say Squirrel. SQUIRREL? Yes, Squirrel, the little critter provides all the good eating I, by myself NEED, and is the most challenging game I hunt from the standpoint of necessary marksmanship skills (.22RF only please). BUT what would I do with all my 'artillery' if only squirrel was on the list afield.
...... No , whitetail deer bring the taste of wildness into rural land, and they capture a hunter's heart with the thrill of a wilderness hunt in tamer country available to us all. I just couldn't give up my deer hunting so long as my legs can carry me afield in thier pursuit. My dogs sure would be disappointed if my venison locker ceased to offer them some treats from time to time as well! Olhippie, I agree for me I'd have to say Squirrel also. "Yes, Squirrel, the little critter provides all the good eating I, by myself NEED." But the old lady will not eat them. So, I have to say rabbit. We both like rabbit. But I would be hard pressed to give up deer. We both like venison also.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

The most exciting hunt for me is elk in the rut.

Quail. Nothing like the flutter of a covey exploding under your feet. Almost breath taking. kwg

I have to second that notion.
(Then comes whitetail, then comes bass, then comes...).

With apologies to "The Most Dangerous Game", stalking something that also likes to hunt and kill wouldn't get boring, and would give a little more incentive to success.  Wayne

not being able to change would make it so boring I would only hunt to eat.

I thoroughly enjoy hunting deer, turkey, and squirrel so much that I couldn't pick "just one".
