What bothers me is this guy will have the head mounted and brag to all his friends on the huge elk he shot. It also bothers me that they are using language to the effect that this is a hunt, which is clearly isn't.

If I had that kind of money, I'll be honest with you I wouldn't be on typing right now, I would be in some exotic place hunting and probable spend a ton on of money.

i cant believe this. i am only 26 years old and i know that this is the worst example of a hunter i have ever seen.
i would mind going on a guided hunt once in my life just to say i have done it. but no amount of money can replace the woods, friends, beer and good times, even if you dont harvest an animal. its not always about KILLING animals. thats what people done understand... its about a lot more than that!.

i dont think there is anyone in the hunting world who doesnt already know about this travesty.
