Sorry guys, but the "spirit" of manBoy's message is that this 12 year old boy did something wrong and he should not be proud of the elk he killed because he killed it on private land (not high fenced). He is wrong on ALL counts and you partially agreeing with him on THIS thread is only lending credibitily to his claim. If you want to disscuss it elsewhere, go for it, but not here. This one is about congratualting a young boy on fighting a good fight and realizing a dream. Power to him.

The title of this thread says it all: DETERMINATION. This kid did it all right, and I am very proud to call him a fellow hunter. Congratualtions! Hope you have many more good hunting trips and you are welcome at my campfire any time!
