    upland birds........pheasant and quail
    nothing is better than hunting behind a good dog.
    I enjoy hunting with my dogs more than deer hunting

    Deer in the fall, yotes in the winter, gobblers in the spring, summer is for fishing and shooting foam animals :) and hogs whenever I can get back to my home state of Florida!

    Bear is my favorite. The rush to me is by far the biggest rush I get when hunting. I also hunt whitetails allot and have went on 6 different elk hunting trips. Still no elk but the rush of elk hunting comes close to that of bear hunting. For me its bear, elk and close behind is hunting big bucks.

    Yep. Elk hunting is the best for me! It can also be the most work.

    I would love to do a bow hog hunt. I'd really like to plan an inexpensive trip sometime this year, go down south and kill some hogs for a few days. I hear they've got a couple that need killing down there.

    Whitetail is number one. That said if turkey season was as long as deer season, the old long beards would probably be number one and both with bow.

    Whitetail Deer for sure, because I find them the most challenging. I enjoy hunting squirrels, quail and pheasant too, but archery deer hunting will always be #1 for me.

    Ruffed grouse with my favorite partners, my son, and my Lab Duke. A lot of fun with a longbow or compound.

    Deer in the winter, any rough fish i can find from ice melt till deer opener. I bet i shot a couple hundred carp easy this summer. Bowfishing is addictive and never gets old. Other than that i chase black birds and chipmunks with air rifles whenever possible. I just enjoy being outside and hunting any game/varmint/pest i can.

    I only do deer anymore. I tried turkey, and found it pretty boring and easy honestly...so I put down a slate call and picked up a bass boat.

    I have a bucket list of animals I want to add to P&Y one day:
    Elk
    Moose
    Muley
    Antelope
    Caribou
    Black Bear

    Just to find the job to fund it...

    Waterfowl and deer. Depends on my mood which one I like best. Nothing better than having ducks and geese completely fooled and feet down in the decoys. And I enjoy watching my dogs work. Buuuuut....pulling back on a deer that has no clue you are there is a pretty big rush to.

    Pheasant and rabbit hunting are my favorite. Where I live, 99% of the birds we hunt were stocked this year, but the excitement of a flushing bird is the best thing ever.
