What is your fav game to hunt? I'm a big fan of deer hunting myself.
And if you were stuck out in the woods, what would you hunt most?

I haven't been able to do any hunting in a long, long time but if I were to do any "legal" hunting it would probably be for deer.
Since this thread is under the Survival section I can only assume that survival is more important to your question than legality. If such is the case than we can take much advice from Ragnar Benson and his book "Survival Poaching."
If in a survival situation and I had to hunt wild game for food my first choice would be deer. One shot and you've got a lot of meat that'll last you a long time. You just have a lot of preparation time to smoke and jerky it.
If I was forced to hunt quietly I would go for birds with a quality air rifle. More time and energy is wasted to get the same amount of meat but there is less chance of being detected with an air rifle. Birds are also a lot less work to prepare.
If the truth be known and I was in a survival situation in which I had to avoid contact with government authorities I'd rather rustle someone's chickens, eggs or goats. Domestic animals are more stupid and, since they're usually penned, easier to capture and kill with only a stick or a knife. Easier to transport than one of the above kills, too since they are smaller animals.
God Save the South,

I have never killed an animal, but if I had to in a pinch.....I would.
Like Cornfedreb said.......I would hunt in the way he said...it makes sence.

Birds: Turkey, Pheasent, Dove, Quail etc.
In a survival situation...it'd be anything I could catch, kill, snare, trap, steal...
