There's no central theme, it's just for fun. Some cool responses here.
One I've recently learned:
I'd rather have an elk burger than a deer burger.

[Choctaw]

I would rather be in the woods listening to the wind than answering this thread. lol

I would rather have an AR, any AR, than a Ruger Mini 14

I would rather have a Ruger Mini 14 than a rock

[AK Hunter]

I would rather take a doe than a buck, the meat tastes better. (provided there are enough deer to take one)
I would rather hunt private land that put up with the idiots on public land. But I'm glad they offer use of public land.

I'd rather have an elk burger than a deer burger.

I'm the opposite. Of course I've never had whitetail - just mule deer. Nevertheless, we (my wife and I) like deer more than elk, elk more than beef, and beef more than pork. Buffalo (bison) meat falls in there somewhere too, but I'm not sure where because we don't get it very often. However, there's nothing on Earth better than barbecued moose ribs as far as we're concerned.

 

[Terry G]

I'd rather have a C97b than polymer .45.
I'd rather have a Browning .30'06 BAR than anything else for Whitetail.
I'd rather have a CZ P-01 than a Ruger 9MM American
I'd rather have a SA Hellcat than a SIG 365
I'd rather have a Taurus TX22 than a Glock 44
I'd rather have a Labrador than an ankle biter.

 

[.308 Norma]

I'm not exactly sure what "facebook" even is, but I think I'd rather spend time here on THR.

 

[.308 Norma]

At present, I can’t think of a single gun that I’d rather have than one I already have. Now that might very well change tomorrow or the next day, but not today.
To play along though - when it was just 3-years old, I’d rather have the ’85 Ford F-150 I used to have than the 3-year old Dodge Ram 1500 I now have.

 

[courtgreene]

That reminds me... I'd rather have a stick shift than an automatic

which means I'll probably only get one vehicle after this one, after which I'll be walking

Yeppers, the beloved '85 Ford F-150 I mentioned had a 4-speed with a "granny" gear. When I told the saleslady that sold me my Dodge 1500 that I wanted a manual 4-speed, she simply shook her head and said, "Well, there's not much chance you're gonna find one of those."
Just to keep this hunting related though - I hauled an awful lot of deer and elk in my old Ford F-150. I haven't hauled any (yet) in the Dodge 1500.
