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.
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...

Congrats on your first elk, way to stick with it even after hunting in area where u were going to have to deal with other people.
