What would it be? Notice I said "harvest" not "hunt". I have been hunting wolverines for 15 years and have yet to shoot one not in a trap:mad:
Me,big horn sheep,high B&C score.
 
I would love to have a moose, all that meat would make for some great burger, steaks, jerky, summer sausage, and brats! Here in Kentucky, we're up to 1000 elk tags a year, so hopefully I'll score an elk in the next few years, which would also be awesome.
 
I have never seen a live moose then again the deer i've seen live were about the size of a 14 yo kid. Haven't seen very many large deer in a few years.

I would love to see the tn gray wolf to numbers that i could harvest one.

I'd rather have a full limit. But one would satisfying enough.

Not really an "animal", but I want a Harlequin. I had a chance to harvest a couple the first year I duck hunted. Not being real sure what they were, (and having seen the wardens at the boat ramp several times earlier in the season) I held off. Got home and did some looking around and found out what they were. I also found out that the season was closed on the Atl. Flyway. And always is. Two drakes and one hen, on a lake in central Georgia. Probably will never see that again.

The only time that I regret following the law. Sure do wish I'd have known that the GWs weren't going to be at the ramp when I saw the birds.

Heck, everybody that I've told that I saw them here doesn't believe me. Oh well. I can't promise that I won't prove it if I ever see them again. But until then, I'm going to say I'm going to follow the law. We'll have to see what happens if I ever see some again.

Well, honestly, I don't know. I love waterfowling. I enjoy big game hunting in big game country. I guess, probably, a big 6x6 elk. My house has 7 ft ceilings, though. I'm not sure where I'd put the mount. I would like to get a Nilgai someday. Does that count as North American? I mean, they're all over the place on some of the big ranches south of here. I'd love to shoot caribou, but don't like the weather real cold. LOL! I guess that would totally eliminate musk ox.

One thing I, as a wing shooter, really wanna do is pheasant in South Dakota. I'd love to do that in a few years.

Bison, and do it old skool with a musket.

Old skool would be atlatl....or, perhaps, just running 'em off a cliff. :D

Funny you would mention that. Guy I work with buddy drew a bison permit for the Fairbanks area[very hard to get] He wants a 1874 sharps just for the occasion
 
Good for him, I hope he gets the Sharps too. That will be a real treat.

My jealousy factor was off the chart. That permit is like winning the lottery. And the season lasts 6 months.

Some of the warmest weather hunting I have ever done anywhere was caribou. In fact, in some parts of the state the law requires meat to be left bone in to slow spoilage
 
For a trophy: Mountain Goat w/Rifle
For meat: Nova Scotia Moose w/muzzleloader
For Self defense: Cougar w/ma duece
