An impressive prize and a big relief: 14-year-old's monster elk could be Nebraska state record

Updated 18 hrs ago

"estimated it weighed 900 to 1,000 pounds"

"estimated the elk was 6 to 7 years old"

"family got about 400 pounds of meat"

"isn’t sure where they’ll hang the trophy, which will take about a year to complete and cost around $1,000"

"main beams on the rack were more than 50 inches in length"

What a shame now she'll never get a better one. Great trophy though. Something like that happened to me when I killed a Brown Bear with a pointed stick. It ruined my craving for other trophies. Now I'm just a meat hunter and let the big antlered deer walk for the younger guys and gals.
