Let’s focus on North America only. What bird or animal would you decline to hunt? I have never desired to kill a buffalo. And absolutely not a musk ox. Don’t care to shoot a treed big game animal, but would enjoy hearing the hounds.

A bear. Don’t know why, just never had the desire.

Bear. No desire to kill one UNLESS it was a nuisance or destroying and killing my stuff. However i would love to get a chance at an elk.

I wont kill anything if a tag costs more than it does to buy a fat steer and pay someone else to butcher it. I don't have to kill an animal to spend time outdoors. I can buy a lot of paper plates to shoot for ten bucks.

I wouldn't shoot any animal I have no use for. That being said I have quail coming to my feeder and have no desire to shoot one, they are to fun to watch and to much of a novelty here.

There's none I wouldn't shoot with cause but without proper cause there's none I will shoot. Kind of feel the same way about most folks I meet.

Had a sharp-tailed grouse tag for WI a few years ago, never had a desire to actually shoot one around here where they're so rare.

Birds of any kind. Just don't float my boat.



Not counting starlings or other pest. That's not really hunting though. Just taking care of a problem.

Cat of any sort. I've got just a touch of crazy cat man in me, and besides the little girls would never forgive me.

I am thinking if I ever have another cow tag I would focus on a calf lol. Something that would be more edible than a old cow.
