LAST EDITED ON Jul-23-07 AT 08:22PM (MST)[p]Tough choices here!! I think alot would depend on the hunt, and who I was with, and the country I was in. I think if I HAD to just pick one, I'd be losing alot of sleep trying to make up my mind. I want em all!!!!!

I think I'd take the elk, mule deer, whitetail, sheep, moose, bear - in that order.

Of the six you listed moose but I would want it to be 70" not 65.

YukonDall · Jul 23, 2007

NOT EVEN CLOSE, 370 BULL ELK.----YD.

Wes · Jul 23, 2007

Mule deer, any mule deer. It's not about the kill or the size of the animal, it's about the experience! But then again I LOVE to hunt so it could be any anything.

mike111 · Jul 23, 2007

For Arizona I would choose this order...

1.) 370 Bull Elk
2.) 185 Mule Deer
....................
3.) 90 Antelope
4.) 112 Coues Deer
5.) 172 Desert Sheep

silverlake176 · Jul 23, 2007

Real close between the 370" Elk or the 185" Mule Deer for me. But if I had to choose one I would pick the Mule Deer.

D13er · Jul 23, 2007

the double breasted mattress thrasher....not on the list

Blank · Jul 23, 2007

D13: Obviously, you've never stalked a red-headed knob gobbler!

I'd go for the 370" bull elk on public ground myself.

#3, then #3, then #2, then the aforementioned speed goat, then #6, and finally #3.

tmbrlinewarden · Jul 23, 2007

There is NOTHING on this planet that compares to the alure of a chance to bag an old Mule Deer buck. NOTHING.

(except for maybe the optimistic hope carried in the scent of an unfamiliar double-breasted split-tail hen)

I gotta go with the muley. Elk would be a 2nd then a moose.

Califelkslayer · Jul 23, 2007

ELK!!!!! But I wouldn't kick the muley out of bed either.

Rams and Bulls hands down.

YukonDall · Jul 24, 2007

I HAVE TO ADMIT,....THE DALL SHEEP IS THE ONLY ANIMAL/HUNT THAT ATE AT ME 24/7/365 UNTIL I GOT IT DONE. THE $$$, TIME, CIRCUMSTANCES, ECT, DIDN'T MATTER I HAD TO GO SHEEP HUNTIN. FUNNY THING IS I KILLED A DS CARIBOU WAY HIGHER IN TROPHY QUALITY THAN THE DALL. BUT I REALLY WANTED A WOLF AS BADLY AS A SHEEP.----YD.

ICMDEER · Jul 24, 2007

Gotta be the muley. No doubt, no hesistation. But why list a B&C whitetail and compare it to a not quite B&C mule deer? I'd still take the muley in a heartbeat.

All of you guys that chose other critters - what the heck are you doing on MM? Go to monstermoose.com or whatever.

huntin100 · Jul 24, 2007

According to the sizes to choose. sheep, Elk, moose, bear,white tail, muley. If I could get the brown bear a spear, knife or sling shot hunt, I may move it up the list.

Well, here in Oregon, it seems like those species that you listed that are actually here are pretty hard to come by in those classes, or at least they are in my experience. I think most Oregonians would consider a 370 OR bull, or a 185 OR muley to be a lifetime trophy for this state. I would anyway, especially with archery tackle. I absolutely love elk, so I would pick the 370 bull for my home state, followed by the muley then the antelope. But if I could pick my dream trophy, it would be one not on your list, a 40 inch stone sheep, and only because I think they are the most beautiful of the sheep. I love those gray faced, chocolate horned rams. One of these days, I hope to get a chance at one.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-24-07 AT 07:38PM (MST)[p]I was possessed by the mighty Alaskan Brown Bear at one time.
Haunted my every thought.
Got that illness cured with a Boone & Crockett 10 footer.

Ahhhhh life is good now.

I do need a big Alaskan Yukon moose before I die.

However the mountains get steeper every year and I'd have to go with the 40" Dall.

SHEEP, SHEEP AND THEN MORE SHEEP.

Heat · Jul 30, 2007

Elk, Mule Deer, Sheep (any of them), Caribou (I know, not on the list), Moose, Pronghorn, Whitetail (Coues), Bear, Hogs

I'd like to harvest each of these with a bow, but I've got a long ways to go. I can do most in my state (Arizona) but may have to go to Alaska to get the rest (moose, caribou, maybe sheep).
