If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

Whitetail. It is all I have to hunt realistically. I would love to get out west and hunt Mule deer some day and probably will in a couple years when I get the points. We do have elk and moose (just recently) to hunt here but whitetail is the only over the counter big game. I just can't get into turkey as they are so plentiful and seem so easy to get. I usually fill my tag in archery deer season on them as they seem to be a pest while hunting deer more than anything.
If I were to be honest I would say my passion is just getting out and hunting in general. Especially in the fall when you get a good frost and the leaves turn and fall. Nothing better than being out on a cool fall day sneaking around the woods creeping up on game.

A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Don't have a passion and don't want one at all. I'd feel short changed to get hung up on one animal. Just different strokes for different folks. I love learning about new animals all the time.
One thing, other than a Kudu and Cape both with bow, that I have absolutely no desire for is Africa. Before I'd do that I'd have to take everything we have to offer here in the good ol USA before I'd even think about spending time and money in another country hunting. Dunno why. Wouldn't mind visiting though. But not enough spare time for that.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Love all hunting...
Can't get enough of the views from the high places chasing sheep and goats... Or the thrill when you see a big buck, whether it's a whitetail or a mulie... The beauty of an old white-maned bull caribou against the fall tundra, or haunting harmony of the wolf pack under the northern lights... And a grizzly bear will always get the ol' ticker going... But for me, nothing beats the sights, sounds and smells of bugling bulls in the aspens on a brisk fall morning!

I would rather chase elk, than anything else....for all the reasons Blkram said.
I just have more opportunities to hunt WT's now.
Protect WYDAHO fish and game, fence out Utah.

Any big game critter out West, preferablly a DIY in wide open spaces.
ELK in the September rut is first on that list!
I have yet to chase Red Stag, but that is definelty high on the list. A quality bowhunt in the roar would be my cup of tea.
Kudu are about the only African animal that do much for me, maybe would throw a Nyala in there.
And then whatever my 9 yo daughter wants to chase around. Whitetails, swine get the most harrasment here.

Quail. Nothing like a covey rise on a frosty morning.
Next would be crows. Would rather bust them than 'yotes or ground hogs. Something about making them go 'poof' satisfies.
Deer would be a distant third place.

Of anything I have hunted and shot it would for sure be elk in September. If I ever win the lottery I would love to hunt big Yukon moose, something in Mongolia, and an elephant.

Its a toss up between coyotes and elk. Nothing like a screamin bull coming into your cow calls or a coyote goin 100 mph at you thinkin your a dieing rabbit.
