No really - we call that a Trophy Spike in our elk camp. Congrats

Typical youngster - want to get in there and hurry up and get it done. No romance, no wineing and dining -no nothing. Just a 15 minute hunt how satisfying can that be. Oh well as you get older you will learn to take your time and make it last a little longer....If your trying to funny your not. I'm a hard working, broke college kid who can't afford to "make it last longer". Plus this was my first elk. I wasn't about to pass up any legal bull especially with having hunted hard the last two years and getting skunked. I am very proud of this animal. I had a great time and it was very satisfying to me so next time just keep your comments to yourself.

I think that the rest was sarcasm.

Also, I think DeerThug was being sarcastic and not trying to rip on you.

And the comment about Trophy Spike - that is what we call a bull like yours. There are spikes and then there are Trophy spikes. Most spikes have 6 to 10 inch horns the size of a carrot and there is great excitment when one goes down. A trophy spike is a nice spike like you got - maybe even a two year old bull. When one of these goes down everyone from all of the other camps come to see - like you had shot a 6x6. In 15 years of elk hunting where I do I have seen only 3 taken. Remember we can only shoot spikes in eastern WA.
Again sorry if you took my comments as not intended.

This is my first elk. Knocked him down opening morning about 15 minutes after daylight. It was a great time!
Congrats on your first elk!
