I'm sure we all have that one animal that we just can't seem to put in the freezer when the tag is in our pocket. The animal that if you managed to put it on the ground, it would make you're decade. I'm not talking about the one where the battle is 80% won when you draw the tag (i.e. Utah elk). I'm talking about the one that you work your tail off for every year, but things just don't work out.

For me, it's a black bear. I've had a little success over the past few years with deer and elk, but I just can't seem to arrow a bear . I have never worked harder, or been more frustrated over any other animal . I'm convinced that no human being has ever seen a black bear in the light of day!

If you put a 30 inch buck, 330 bull, 80 inch antelope, and a bear side by side and gave me one shot. I don't even hesitate, the bear is getting stuck.

So, what's that animal to you?

Definately a P&Y coues buck with a bow.......one tough critter for me!

that illusive bigfoot. never seem to be able to get a shot.

Archery fair chase spot and stalk mountain lion.

I've got a list of them! But a good coues buck and bear have been on my list for quite a while.

turkey have had many chances but something goes wrong everytime
1st year stopped just out of range
2nd year stopped right behind a tree got nervous and walked away directly behind tree
and this year went to shoot and my sling was in front of my sights and had to move to shoot so the turkeys busted out of there

so maybe one day i will get one (hopefully)

coyote.. i can never kill them if my life depended on it! they are too smart where i live

A nice 350+ bull elk, my dad got a tag this year but didn't get one. Sometimes seriosly i get teary eyed at night in bed because we didn't get one. And to you guys /girls that have, YOU DONT'T KNOW ONE BIT HOW LUCKY YOU ARE.

I'd have to say I'm with meathunter...
I'd really like an unaided archery mountain lion.... Of course there's others on my list..... but a lion without dogs, with a bow........I literally dream about it at night.

I haven't chased very many different types of animals but the one that has been giving me trouble have been the javelina. They seem to give me the slip every time.
