If I could only hunt one game animal I would have to choose the Whitetail Buck. My choice of weapons in a rifle would be the Savage Model 99 in .300 Savage. In a pistol I would have to choose a Contender, either my 14" .30-30 or octagon barrel, 10".45 Colt. If "game animal" included birds, it would be a toss up between the Whitetail and the Ruffed Grouse or partridge as we call them in the U.P. As a matter of fact, if I could only hunt one animal, one bird, and one fish - I would choose the Whitetail Buck, the Ruffed Grouse, and the Brook Trout. Would use a side by side 20 guage for the grouse. Not sure what I'd shoot the trout with.
