I love to hunt dove. If I had to admit it I go to see the family, enjoy good food and company. Ok I love the little grey rockets and I will hunt them until I die

Chas, how do ya like that mud buddy? Those have always interested me. I only have a few places to really use one, though, and my boat does a lot of bay fishing.
Ain't heard the first flight of geese overhead yet. The season doesn't REALLY excite me until I hear those first flights of geese, then I get excited.
I always get in the mood when teal season gets here, though, but it just ain't right until those geese are flying.

Deer, cause here in SC we don't have any other big game animal.

Probably squirrels because it's the closest to "real" hunting I can get. A nice accurate rifle, a stand of hardwoods, and I'm can forget that I'm not somewhere in the mountains stalking the wiley wonderbeast. Plus I can literally walk out back and be hunting in 50 steps.
I love to deer hunt, but around here that's mostly done with dogs. A fun way to do it, and I really enjoy it, but it takes a lot of people, land and dogs. Not something you can do on your own.
This year will be my first try deer hunting without dogs. They've been raiding the garden and harassing me when I'm squirrel hunting, so when the season opens, I'll walk out back, find a nice spot to set on the hillside and watch the creek bottom. If nothing else it gave me an excuse to buy a couple of rifles I wanted.

Wild turkeys. Easy access, can do it for a whole month in the spring and 2 weeks in the fall, don't have to take a second mortgage or get a draw to do it. I've got a good set of camo clothing, a shotgun and a vest set up just right and I love the participatory aspect of calling.

MC, it's a 20 HP Go-Devil from Baton Rouge LA. It preceeds the mud buddy. I bought it new in 1996. It will push a boat through unbelievably thick vegatation such as hydrilla or water hyacinth. It will run on plane in 3 inches of water with just me and the decoys in it. Thats a 1968 14 ft. aluminum Quachita V-bottom its on, and is a great two man platform. The downside to them is they are a bear to steer and there is no neutral or reverse. If the props in the water, your moving. It was and still is a great addition to my Duck hunting arsenal. My apologies to the OP for the thread hi-jack but I have a hard time resisting talking Duck hunting. That photo was taken in January of last season.

Definitely grouse - but everybody calls 'em partridge up here in Yooperland.

I have seen the Go Devil rigs going for real reasonable, boat motor, trailer for under 10K, more like 8K. I got my 25 Evinrude in 96, still starts easy and runs hard. It's on an antique 62 Starcraft 16 ft semi vee hull, but it still floats and handles the bay a little better than a flat bottom. I'd like to camo it, though, and I've thought of maybe putting a boat blind on it. Most of my hunting is on the WMA here, but I know places where I could go with the boat. Yeah, when you're hooked on ducks, it's just hard to not talk about it when you ain't doin' it.

Its a huge toss up between
Iowa Pheasants:
Bow Hunting Whitetail:
Perhaps Bow Hunting Whitetails in IOWA would settle the arguement! (I seriously need to move)

I like hunting pheasant and deer, but I gotta' say it's a lot nicer carrying the birds out.
I thought I was going to have a heart attack last year pulling a nice deer 1/2 mile uphill back to the car. (Well it seemed like a 1/2 mile, but it could have been a couple of hundred yards.)

Elk, cows for now. One day I will hunt a bull. I like the scenery, the challenge, the effort and exercise. I think I could starve to death hunting birds.
There is one game animal that sets itself apart in me both physically and emotionally. As a pheasant flushes, its wings beat the air into submission! That combined with their frantic squawking, literally induces an adrenalin rush in my veins! Seriously! The event causes me to put the bead on the bird so fast that I literally have to remind myself to hold off for the bird to get some distance. What a heck of a rush! My policy is, if I miss the first shot, I don't bother with a second shot. I love to hunt them with a single-shot shotgun. Right now, I only have my Wingmaster, so I "suffer" with carrying it.
Great thread! Thanks for the idea and a chance to contribute.

What I enjoy hunting most is whitetail deer. What I wind up hunting most are my car keys.

I enjoy hunting deer in west Texas with either my 243 or my 30-06. Hogs are a close second here in east Texas with my marlin 30-30. (I enjoy all types of wingshooting, but seldom ever get to do that kind of hunting.) ( the wing shooting I enjoy the most would have to be bob white quail)

Squirrel. 100% success rate and no enormous steaming beast or back-breaking trips hauling meat.

Absolute favorite would have to be quail. But I haven't done that in a long time because there just aren't many around anymore. Yeah plantations have pen raised, but I don't want to have to kick one in the butt to get it to fly.
Favorite currently would be a toss up between ducks and dove. It just depends on what's in season and how warm it is.
Whitetail Deer is just something to tide me over from September to Thanksgiving. I'll carry a rifle in the boat from time to time, all depending on where I'm hunting ducks at.
With the exception of Specklebellies, you can keep the geese. Specks on the other hand are some fine eating.
