Big deer or big flathead catfish

[flathunter]

If you could catch just one what wopuld it be..Shoot a state typical whitetail deer..Or catch a state record flathead, or blue catfish..I deer hunt and fish, but for me it would be no doubt the catfish!

[laidbck111]

I too would take fishing over hunting anyday. I enjoy them both but IMO fishing is tops.

[james]

Ive been hunting and fishing just about my hole life Id love to get that monster white tail or mulie but to beat that 121 pound state record blue will always be my dream

[Jammer]

Deer hunting in Ohio is too cold for these old bones. I'll go for the big fish.:smile2:

[blackhorse83]

I want both, but I'd rather have the flathead & blue records

[Greg32]

Seeing as I don't hunt, gimme the State record fish, with a side order of world record. Hold the PETA comments. Can I get that to go please? Oh and a x-large Dr Pepper and 2 milky way bars frozen.


I don't want much do I?

I would say deer if I got to shoot it with the Muzzeloader that I got when my grandpa passed away. That would bring up alot of great memories and be something that I could tell my kids and grandkids in the future.

[samh]

Either, if your granting wishes just surprise me.

[kycatman01]

i would take the deer but the fish is a real close second.

Couldn't say it better myself.

[777]

Not to many years ago if asked that question I would have said deer but now I would have to go with state record Blue.

[catsrking]

Jack, that is a very tough choice. Need to think about that one.

[KYfarmer]

Deer are too easy.............................. I'll take the big flatty or blue!!

[David Knotts]

I will have to go with a big ole moss back buck, then the next day I'd go back huntin. If I got em with my bow that would be even better.:004:

[catfishrus]

why cant we have both and i can put one back......in the water. i dont know about the deer being too easy. i do feel like there is a state record blue and flat in most of the lakes around me but a state record buck in far and few in between around here.

[thegavel]

I would take the flat head because I know it would mean a lot to my grandfather. and that would be the best possible memory ever!!!

[whiskerchaser]

I dont hunt so i would take the fish even if i did hunt it would still be the fish.

[SkiMax]

Well I hit a 12 point buck in my car 2 years ago and killed it. I have never hit a 30 pound plus flathead with my car or boat so I would say the flathead would be more elusive and that's what I'd go with.

"My brother-in-law is an avid hunter. He told me once that a deer was a very elusive animal. I looked at him and said 'I hit two in my van last year. If you are having trouble shooting one slow your bullet down to 55 MPH, put a horn and headlights on it and the deer will actually jump in front of the bullet.'" Ron White :lol:

[flaboy]

I'll take the deer, you can eat the meat and and hang the rack, the catfish would be gone when I got thru (a long time) eating.:lol:

[David Knotts]

You got to go for the deer, you only get to hunt for part of the year, but you can fish all year long, so thumbs up for the buck.

[HRCats]

Knowing that bow season comes in on the first Saturday of October and the cats are really hitting then could i please take both!:smile2:

[Bayoubear]

im not greedy, id be tickled to take either one... whichever one tho the deep freeze was lesser stocked with would be a bonus.

[IL Hunter]

Man thats a tough one Catching a huge flathead would be awesome. Killing a big deer would be pretty sweet too though.

[borntocatfish]

I would love to shoot a big deer since I never hunted before always wanted to go but no gear and no one to hunt with

[flatheadsteven]

i would take the catfish anyday over a deer

[michiganwhitetailRLM]

it Would Be A Rush Either Way, But Ide Rather Take The Michigan Whitetail. If You Think About It , Both Are Rare In This State In The Terms Of State Records.

[ladyfish50]

I'm still new to catfishing, & although I LOVE it, I LIVE to deer hunt! Every year, I get kinda grumpy during the summer, but all my friends & co-workers know that once the fall weather gets here, I cheer up, cause I'm in the woods every weekend. I put in for my vacation time during deer season so that I have that much more time. I've never gotten a good buck yet; gotten quite a few small ones & does. But I know if I hang in there, I'll get me a "wall-hanger" one day. So, for me, sorry BOC brothers, BIG DEER!!

[FlatGetter]

I love catching Flatheads But I shoot a state Typical buck thats more to show off, so I pick the buck. Ill bring that bad boy to the Illinois Deer and Turkey Classic and stand next to it proudly.

[Cherokee]

I'd Say a big old BUCK put his head on the wall that way i wouldnt have to decide if i'd release the fish or not.

[H2O Mellon]

Being that the Beatty Buck is our states record (and world record...still?) I would say give me the beast that beats the Beatty Buck ANYDAY over the state Flathead.

[fat_fish55]

well heres my opinion
at any given time while fishing the record could cruise by and grab it not saying its all luck but it could happen if you fish in a big river.
but if your hunting a piece of property you have been hunting and scouting and getting trail pictures from there is almost no chance the record buck will just cruise by while hunting if youve never seen a deer that big there
so i would probable take the buck
especialy if it was while bow hunting
gun hunting i dont know which id choose , probably the cat

[live22skate]

the cat, by fffaaaarrrr. i hate hunting, its just makes me mad, in fishing u can release the fish, but wen hunting its a different story

[flathunter]

I wont be hunting this year, I plan on fishing clear into december..So I would still prefer the catfish.

[tnkatman]

I'll Take The Fish Any Day Over The Deer.

[H2O Mellon]

I wont be hunting this year, I plan on fishing clear into december..So I would still prefer the catfish.

You mean your giving up your spot @ our cabin? Well maybe next year huh? My wife wanted to hunt this year anyways, so I'll give her the "Grandma & Dirtbike" stand. :big_smile:

[mobowhtr]

Definitely the buck, and of coarse with a bow since that is the only way I deer hunt, and preferably a huge non-typical.

[laidbck111]

Catfish for me. Gave up hunting a few years back.

[derbycitycatman]

Id take either one.:big_smile:

[tkyhnt]

Wow thats a tough choice, however I think I would go for the Trophy Whitetail on this one.

[socex]

I know i'd love to have the state record flathead, so I'd prefer the fish over the deer

[fireball]

A big bow buck would get the heart pumping! No, a huge flathead, thats it. Well, either would be great.:big_smile:

[ladyfish50]

Id take either one.:big_smile:

Don't you mean you'd take the "other" one?? That photo in your avatar says you've already taken "one"!!:lol:

[channelcat_tracker]

AHHH!!!! :crazy: :crazy: id say id go with shooting record state whitetail deer. i catch enough catfish to keep me happy and i havent shot a buck over 125....so deer it is! :smile2:

[channelcat_tracker]

Id take either one.:big_smile:


you already got your once in a lifetime buck worth over 10 grand so go with the meow meow kitty kat catfish! :lol:

[derbycitycatman]

Well its not a record so I can do better. Maybe I should go for the cat, naw the buck, naw the cat, cant I have both?

[Cathooker]

Neither one for me......I had rather see my son do it.

[katcatcher]

hey I,ll kill the deer when its to cold to hold a pole in my hand..lol

[BrianM]

I think I would have to pick the catfish state record

[charliep]

I've had some successful years at deer hunting so........it would have to be a big kitty that I would be after
charliep

[RiverKing]

THE BIG CAT NO DOUBT....There is no fight in shooting something....LOL....But with a huge flathead..There is a heck of a fight

[catfishn72]

i would choose the record flathead.

[wooleybugger]

Catch the fish in the summer shoot the deer that fall

[carpet1]

It would have to be a big buck

[gcarlin]

God knows how I like to hunt but, My fishing is more important. so Catching a State Record Flathead is what I'd rather do

[Edisto Catman]

I would take the deer, but the catfish would be a close second.

[boilerman]

I'd call myself wishy walshy on this one. I'd change my mind every day.

[Schifty]

I think id go with the cat.seeing that ive already shot my big deer.

[wareagle]

I want both. This is the USA you can go for it all.:lol:

[blackhorse83]

I think I would pass on both for a shot at a house cat!

[thomcat]

no question id take the white tail,, could definately use the meat,,, and id use the horns for knife handles..

but id be dreamin of that giant catty
