This year my Son Paul II had a very cool steel plaque made by a local welding shop & elk hunter to be given to the hunter with the best bull, it represents the ElkNut Logo. This year it was Taylor who earned the bragging rights for the year. Next year he will pass it on to the next recipient. It was a great idea by my son! Hopefully I'll get it one of these times! (grin) These guys are good!
Here's a couple photos of the event & Taylor holding his Plaque & a close up of the 10# plaque.

Congrats on what looks to have been a great season!
Joe, thanks. Yes Clayton takes nice bulls, maybe next year! We're thinking a different agenda for the Plaque winner from year to year but haven't come up with a solution yet? It was fun & each guy told in detail how they located & eventually took their bull, it was good stuff!

Chas, I know I truly appreciate their friendship & their never give up attitude towards their elk hunts! Clayton only heard one bull & he called it in & put an arrow in him at 30 yards, the Contact Buzz (former estrus buzz) is what got it done, very cool & I enjoyed him sharing his story the other night! Thanks!
Chris, I hear ya, hard not to learn from real life experiences on OTC DIY elk hunts! Thanks!
Thank you to you others as well!

You should add some "team player" plaques.
One for the guy who hauls the most lb-miles of hunting buddies elk off the mountain for the year (hauling your own elk doesn't count). Haul 50 lbs three miles and get 150 lb-miles; Haul 100 lbs one mile and get 100 lb-miles.
Another plaque for the guy who calls in the most elk for buddies (again calling one in for yourself doesn't count). A call in only counts if shot is fired.
How about one for the guy who does the most cooking or dish washing?
Aspen, sounds complicated! (grin)
