x2! Ducks
Because I have common sense, and it tells me its not worth getting up at 2 am to put on way to many clothes to shoot 4 birds that taste like liver/crap. I am with y'all on that one, turned down several invites in the past. Just don't see it happening.

I'd much rather eat quail or turkey.

I could never shoot a gorilla, chimp or orangatang. They're to much like people. Watched someone shoot a chimp on the discovery channel and to see the chimp looking around at the people as he was taking deep breaths to stay alive......just about made me shed a tear.

To me duck hunting is a blast, I get to ride around in my little jon boat with a shotgun, makes you feel like a battleship  as for cooking them I will leave that up to one of my buddies, his are always good. We quit duck hunting though, never could get the regs right, always shot too many of something. Past that I have no want to shoot a bear, its like a big dog if you ask me. matt

Anything that I won't eat. * * Except for depredation. Wolves, mt. lions, bears, wild dogs, coyotes, etc if they're threatening cattle. With you on the fawn, too Janie. No way I could shoot that cute little bugger!

Me three....I've never ate duck that didn't taste like mud water. I'd much rather eat quail or turkey. I would much rather eat quail or turkey also, but duck hunting is a blast. Calling ducks and watching them work your decoys is 2nd only to hearing that gobble and working the Tom in, in my opinion. They taste pretty good if you cook them right. I either put them in gumbo or fry them in strips dipped in mustard with Toneys in the flour. It's tough to beat fried Teal breast with mustard batter and seasoned flour. Just like anything, it depends on how it is prepared.

I do think a pass to hunt ALL NON-native species in Australia would be fun. If you ever look at a list of all the non-native animals you'd have plenty to hunt.
Now over there they are getting to have too many kangaroos & have employed hunters to reduce their numbers due to them destroying crops/farmland.

If it tastes good, or is a nuisance or detrimental to my deer herd I will shoot it. I went goose hunting with a buddy and didn't like how the goose tasted, so I wont hunt those anymore. However, I will not hesitate to shoot some of the mythical beasts that roam the woods and plains of Texas: (These are in order) 1. Chupacabra 2. Black panther 3. Lechuza 4. Anything that has escaped from the San Antonio zoo (penguins included) 5. Bigfoot 6. Jackalope
I will post pics and will have the animal mounted no matter what it costs. Don't want ya'll calling me a liar.

I just never carried about shooting exotics and this sounds kinda crazy for someone born on a ranch and been a rancher all his life but I hope I never get a chance to shoot a Mountain Lion. Just don't think I would do it. I quit shooting red fox years ago when I got out of the sheep and goat business and lord I killed bunches of them. To me they are a thing of beauty I want my Grandkids to see one someday.

I have no reason to shoot an elephant, rhino, hippo or zebra.
As far as U.S. goes I don't need to shoot a bear unless he's after me. I guess the same goes for a wolf or mnt lion.

I've quit shooting those too..I used to worry alot about them around calves, but saw a cpl laid up with calves around a hayring trying to stay warm. I figured if they were going to do that, they had more problems on their hands than me when some of those mamas came around.

Because I have common sense, and it tells me its not worth getting up at 2 am to put on way to many clothes to shoot 4 birds that taste like liver/crap. IF you were a North Texas duck hunter...... you would hunt public- reducing the need to awake at 2am and get you limit of 6 each time! 
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

Elephants, zebras, rhinos, hippos, the big cats, bears and all of the different goats, rams and such.
I could probably shoot penguins though.
