Good job Fink! I love the paragraph above... we all like the big ones but there has to be more to it then just a score on paper. Your statements prove there is SO much more...This is my first elk, on my third elk hunt, and the first animal that I've shot in probably 15 years that I didn't think about score before I killed him. To me, this animal represents more than a score, he represents several years of planning and dedication, and I am proud of him. More so than I am of any of the big whitetails I've killed, or anything else hunting related. To kill him with my best friend right there, who has put the same effort into this as I have, meant a good deal to me.
