Favorite Deer to hunt?

[Hunterman]

The BLACKTAIL     It's the hardest deer there is to hunt.  My largest deer that I have killed is a mule deer in Teanaway ( Iron Creek area) I have killed a round robin ( spike - 4point) in all three species. Just my  in how to rank them from hardest, to easiest would be Blacktail, Mule Deer, then Whitetail...

I agree these whitetails are simple compared to a mature blacktail.. As for that matter a big mountain muley will walk circles around most people and you will never know it..

Agree    My first year hunting mule deer, I had a big 4 point play hide and seek with me for 4 days, until I got smart and came in above where I was jumping him.. I thought that I saw him under this big tree, snuck down to within 60 yards, and let him have it with my trusty 30-30..His head dropped, but his antlers stayed in the tree    turned out it was a damn blacktail SPIKE  The old timer that was showing dad and I the area said that was the first blacktail he's seen there in 40 years.. When I got to the spike, the 4 point was not 20 yards

MD is my favorite to hunt because of the country.....But BT are the hardest deer I've ever hunted and still do if I strike out on MD.... I've got 2 WA WT and it just doesn't interest me very much....

Any deer hunting is good. I love my bench legs. Best of both worlds plus we are seeing more and more whitetail hybrids as well. So I pick all 3

Blacktails with a bow is the best way to go.

I have hunted all 3 species and must say that blacktail are the hardest. whitetail are the spookiest. and mulies are the easiest to find. none are easy to hunt by any means. ive yet to kill a mule deer so one of my goals this year is to get within range and drop one like a sack of rocks!!!

I like hunting the deer in my back yard. And I've always lived on the coast so it's blacktails for me. But I have to admit I had fun hunting whitetails last year.

i have hunted blacktail my whole life, i have had chances to go hunt muleys and whitetail but when it comes right down to it the blacktail call to me in my sleep, once they get their hooks in you there is no way to keep myself from pursuing them, they are the gray ghost of north america, to take one on his terms is a hell of a task, and i am talkn about gettin in the nasty thick ass stuff and rootn him up, with the cold soaking rain chillin you to the very core of your bones, and then you see that glass eye staring at you and then it disapears without a sound.... no funner deer to hunt
