You slammed on me first Murfy JUST sayin don't be rude
The thing is, the stories you have about the few elk you have killed are the stories people want to hear. Because they are good, and they are true, and they are about you and your hard work and achievement, kill or not. Big bull or not. But the day you follow a guide around and kill the bull he says to kill, then keep that story to yourself and let the guide tell it. It was his hunt and his achievement, not yours.
