Results so far:
Wolf/Coyote - 9
Southern Grouse - 5
Snowshoe Hare (no dog) - 1
Greater Snow Goose - 1
For myself I would say early season (first 2 weeks) mature whitetail buck with the bow. In 30 years of deer hunting I have filled my tag(s) every season except one, but I have never taken a mature buck in the early season. They don't have the hormones driving them and there is still plenty of food around. Any mature bucks I have taken where either during the rut/pre-rut or the late season bow (last 2 weeks of December) when food was scarce.

Wing shooting spruce grouse. Gotta hit them before they land in the next branch above your head.

Last day of the season for our group I was pushing a yote track and found this southern grouse. We knew this bush had only one grouse there until the yote got him. So my vote is yotes are harder to hunt.
Experience is what you gain when you didn't get what you wanted.
Many are called but only a few are chosen.

The trick to hunting grouse is to go out and hunt something else; Set up for Turkey and they will walk right in front of your blind....in the stand for Deer...who shows up, sounding like a hippo coming thru the bush..
The worst is when your walking out at dawn to your stand/blind and they wait till your 3' away then take off with great flourish and send your heart in to fibrillation.
See far more grouse while out hunting than I ever see yotes....

Southern, Southern Ontario grouse....without a dog. Hunted one for five flushes, until I finally connected on the last flush. A few 'hail mary's ' on another one I flushed 29 times in ten hunts (I got good at tracking second and third flushes), but never connected. Sorry I let that one contribute to the gene pool!

Has too much time on their hands
ESG's get my vote too. Heard many flushes last fall, saw a few, and even got to the gun to my shoulder once.
