Pretty easy question for me. With no more time than I get to hunt anymore, I still hope it will get better.
Big Game less than 5%. I wouldnt even acknowlege this, except I got two boys that are deer and turkey crazy, so I take them. I dont care if I ever kill another. A moose would be kewl if I could draw sometime.
Upland and Waterfowl 0. I used to bird hunt but lost intrest when birds declined and my dog died. Waterfowl I could care less about.
Varmints 5% I would rate these higher if we had any local to shoot. I really like shooting prarie dogs and groundhogs. But, I gotta drive a ways to do either, so its still down the list.
Predators 90+%. Nuff said.

47/47 big game
6/6 bird
47/47 predator
Although my figures may seem to be a bit strange, not counting the variables. There not! since my big game overlaps my predator hunting, or vice versa it doesn't reflect my intrest, or activity one way or the other, especially when you throw MONSTER MULEY! into equation I shift gears, however my predator hunting has benefited my big game hunting to some extent, if this doesn't makes sense.
To sum it up "my eyes are front too"

Rating importance is a hard thing. I find nothing funner than hunting coyotes. It is by far my favorite. As far as importance goes, its big-game hands down. Some weeks, my wife and four of the five critters eat 3-5 packages of venison a week. I always get deer but on those years I miss out on elk she really makes me feel like a vegetarian! The meat is very important to this family!
It drives me batty when guys go out big-game hunting and not eat the meat. I went pheasant hunting this year with a buddy of mine. I got up at 4:00 am to make these really yummy deer burger and melted mozzerella cheese burritos with lots of garlic salt and the knuckle-head wouldn't even try a bite all day!!! LOL I think I ate 5-6!
The kids loved it from day one because its all the meat we fed them. My wife was a harder nut to crack. It wasn't until about a couple of years ago when i got really really broke that my wife started using venison as a staple for soups, stews, macaroni dishes and all kinds of really yummy stuff. I love the flavor or deer and elk, so do my wife and kids. But to be perfectly honest, by the time she finishes cooking the meals, you'd never know it was venison! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I love my critters and chick!!!! :)

Locohead,
We used to do pretty much the same thing. My kids refused to eat "Bambi" But I couldn't afford to buy meat, and Indiana let me kill 5-7 deer a year.
I just ran them all though a meat grinder and we ate Hamburger Helper, with venison instead of beef, 4-5 nights a week.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take
an ass kickin'.
