Can't tell the forest for the horns
I've always been a fan of nature photography, especially little kids with giant trout and vegetables that look like celebs. So I've got to share the picture of the week— the "Spider Bull," shot in the Monroe Mountains, declared the world record for largest elk ever killed.

"Oh look at that magnificent forest creature! Let's kill it!" I don't care what anyone says--and I'm sure plenty of outraged "Ah Hunt'ta feed Mah fambly!" anonymii will say it--hunting is barbaric, especially when you kill such a beautiful creature just so a bunch of small-penis yahoos can leer over its corpse. Jerks.
