I would like to kill a nice black bear. Grizz and polar bears hold no interest for me nor musk ox. Nothing in Africa appeals to me either. All other North American big game would be on my yes list.

No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

Bucks under 4 1/2, fawns, most african game, no desire to shoot a bear really, bison, mountain lions with dogs, I'm sure there is more that I'm not thinking of.

Hogs and yotes is all I kill everything else lives I walked up on a huge buck 2wks ago and I just watched him walk away. If they become a nuisance like the hogs, let me know and I'll take care of it for you.

Nothing I won't shoot (except fawns and does with fawns). Pulling a trigger is what I do best. Now aiming...that's another story!

If a doe has a young one with it I won't shoot her and I wouldn't shoot a fawn with spots. I may shoot a young deer if it didn't have spots especially if I knew I had to carry it out a ways.

This for me also. And most African game just doesn't interest me...probably just jealousy over not being able to afford to go over there

I'm probably going to offend some people when I say, I won't hunt Mountain Lions or Bears with dogs. To me that's not hunting. All you're doing is shooting an animal out of a tree that is scared out of it's mind and is trapped.

I'm with TSU on hunting bears and mountain lion with dogs. I'm sure the chase is very exciting but once the animal is treed there's not much sport in shooting it. I'd rather film that kind of hunt.

x2! Ducks

The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I hunt deer, turkey, ducks, and doves, turkey being my favorite. Anything else I really don't care to. I was raised on squirrel hunting, but rarely do it anymore. I, along with others here, will not shoot fawns or a doe with fawns. There are plenty of other deer to shoot. I have absolutely no interest in hunting bears or other big game, in or out of the country. I would shoot a hog if it gave me a chance, but I have none on my property. I'll occasionally shoot a yote or bobcat, but I'm not going hunting for them. If one walks up while I'm deer hunting, then I'll take it.

The only thing I do hunt is mature deer and "smogs" (small hogs).
Pretty much leave everything else alone.
Whatever I take is something that I intend to eat, unless it is trying to eat me first!
