What won't you hunt?

[appaloosa]

Anything in a pen or inside a fence.

Alligator. I would shoot one if I saw it but have no desire to apply for a tag.

 

[Chad Gus]

After watching one of my beagles get hit and killed by a car, while she was chasing a rabbit. I lost all desire and interest in hunting behind dogs.
Fox are one critter I could never bring myself to kill.

Get some chickens, you’ll get over that one pretty quick

If we had a better population I'd love to hunt em here. But won't since they are far and few, however I've seen more the last 2 or 3 years than the previous 30 combined.

I bet there is a healthier population than you think. I have a few in the yard during the night I haven’t been able to get a shot at yet. I’d never know they exist if I didn’t have a trail camera.

I'd call someone to take them out, if that were to ever happen.

Coyotes keep them pretty well dispersed around here.

 

[Buffs35]

Bald eagles taste too much like seal cubs to me.

But seriously, no desire on the predators. I mostly hunt to get outside, spend time with friends and get tasty protein if I can.

Gallinules
African lion
Muskox

I cannot bring myself to shoot a quail in the northern edge of their range, where populations are very sparse. It is perfectly legal but they barely scrape by through brutal winters. I see maybe 1 quail for every 30 pheasants in the central E/W third of Iowa.

In extreme southern Iowa I’ll see 30-40 quail in a day upland hunting, and have no issue shooting them.

What's a quail? No such thing around here.

I've seem some Bob white way south. Had no idea what the hell I was watching at first.

Sheep

This and mountain goat are a tie for me. Can't explain it they are cool animals and live in really cool places but don't need to shoot one. I would go with to take pictures spot and help pack tho.

I think for me, it's the 1000 times I walked within 100 yds of them and they couldn't care less. Last WT I shot was less than 100 yds from a herd of bighorns, they just kept on grazing. Yes, Co has areas where WT and big horn meet near the OK border Majestic, unbelievable beasts, hunting them is not in my blood

High school age and shortly after there were a few stragglers to be found. Never thought twice about shooting them. After the near heart attack when the covey broke, of course! Let's call it over 40 years now.

Spread the word, would ya? Sitting on 20 Montana sheep points and getting impatient.

 

[geetar]

Pigs have never interested me. Wouldn't shoot a zebra or a giraffe and I have no interest in specifically pursuing predators. I'll interrupt a hunt to shoot a coyote but I've been at full draw on a red fox with a bow and decided not to shoot and flipped the safety back on and chose not to shoot a gray fox.

 

[BAKPAKR]

I wouldn’t shoot the world record dik-dik if it were in my lap, figuratively speaking.

 

[shoots-straight]

No interest in Baby Harp seals. Penguins,Honey Badgers,Ardvarks and anteaters, Koala bears, Dire wolves kit fox, swift fox, hell any fox. I let a beautiful cross fox go this trapping season. OH, and a Sloth.

 

[TrapperJ]

No interest in anything really from Africa it's all really expensive and everyone's hunted it and it's almost everywhere one looks. They all want a springbok or a warthog on the wall and every gunstore or bar or anything really has atleast 2 or 3 African anmials in it. Also don't care to hunt monkeys and not to huge on hunting rabbits.
