Looking For the Biggest Elk?

!: Looking For the Biggest Elk?

Any discussion regarding the biggest elk can take on several meanings. One could be talking about animal body size. In the wild, it could be difficult to find and measure the biggest elk out there. Very often, for trophy elk especially, it's the size and spread of the antlers that finds its way into the record books.

Species is therefore a factor. If we're talking about body size, the Roosevelt elk (also called the Olympic elk) takes the prize, while the Rocky Mountain elk will lay claim to the largest antler or rack size. The official recorder of record sizes for big game is the Boone and Crockett Club. The BCC has specific rules for taking measurements to apply for a record. They also have what is called a "fair-chase hunting" clause. You don't just shoot a trophy-sized bull elk that has been grown on an elk ranch, and kept in a pasture, and expect to claim a record. The fair-chase hunting clause means that you actually killed the animal in the wild, after a fair and legal hunt.

What is now considered to be the world's record for the biggest elk ever taken in the wild, is for a bull elk killed in a Utah hunt in January, 2009. The elk was taken on public land and was credited with a score, which rewards antler size, of 478-5/8 inches. There was an elk killed in Idaho that supposedly scored 502 2/8 but for whatever reason, the Boone and Crockett Club did not recognize this. Up until 2009, the BCC record was 465 2/8, for a bull elk shot in British Columbia in 1994. Montana has had several record-sized elk harvested, the largest scoring 429 1/8. New Mexico and Arizona are the states regarded as the best choices for hunting trophy elk.

Still, when we're talking about pounds of meat, the Roosevelt is indeed the biggest elk. The species was hunted nearly to extinction by the beginning of the 20th century, with only a handful of the animals still in existence at that time. President Theodore Roosevelt played a leading role in first saving, and then reinstating, the species, which numbers over 100,000 animals today. Oregon has biggest elk population as far as Roosevelt elk are concerned, with Washington second. A bull Roosevelt elk will normally tip the scales at around 700 pounds, but males weighing in at 1,300 pounds are not that uncommon.

If you want to go after the world's biggest elk, you have some choices. If it's rack size you're after, you'll want to hunt the Rocky Mountain Species. As we've noted, Arizona and New Mexico are supposedly the places to go for trophy animals, yet the record-setting animals have been taken in states north of there. If it's body weight that's important, Washington or Oregon might be your destination, as it will be Roosevelt elk you'll be hunting. The Roosevelt elk has also been introduced in Alaska, and supposedly some of the larger Roosevelt elk are to be found in our 49th state. So, it's not really all that simple. To get the biggest elk, you might just have to find someone who thinks they may have seen it.

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff; Book Review

!: How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff; Book Review

Winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, Meg Rosoff's 'How I Live Now' is set in a recognisably present-day England. The narrator is Daisy, an anorexic American sent to stay with her aunt and cousins in the UK one summer. While her aunt is away an unnamed aggressor invades Britain and she and her cousins are left to fend for themselves.

It would have been too easy to simply put an American into the UK and watch the sparks fly and one of the book's great strengths is that Rosoff resisted the urge to do so. Instead she lets Daisy's different perspective allow her to observe the British and their Dunkirk Spirit, rather than her actions and tantrums creating the plot.

The book has become what is know as a crossover hit, originally intended for teenage readers but popular with adults. The book is not a comfortable read by any means, with the violence of war, separation, bereavement and mental breakdown fundamental to the plot. Yet it is not a violent book, with the horror implied but rarely described explicitly.

Daisy and her cousin's problems really begin when their farm is commandeered by the British Army and the authorities discover that they are living without an adult. The family is split up and, with echoes of WW2 evacuees, are sent to live with strangers. Volunteering to join the war effort helps them to cope with the boredom, leads to more danger but finally gives them a chance of escape.

The writing style contains little in the way of punctuation, a sort of cross between a teenage diary and a verbatim transcript of Daisy's internal chatter. It is this that gives realism to a situation that thankfully few of us have ever experienced. 'How I Live Now' is a remarkable novel, as gripping and thought provoking for an adult reader as the teenage readership it is aimed at.

Theodore Boone by John Grisham Book Review

Word has it that Mister Grisham is slightly miffed at losing his reputation as the best selling writer of fiction to the Rowling girl. Someone; may be Mister G himself, or perhaps some bright spark at his publishers, looked at the hoards of new adolescent readers Ms Rowling brought to the table and thought - Eh up, if only we could attract some of that lot!

Here's the result. Theodore Boone.

Theodore Boone

Theodore is a thirteen year old boy, sound familiar, who's always dreamt of becoming a judge, I kid you not, or at least a high profile lawyer. It isn't as ridiculous as it sounds because both of his parents are lawyers and so was his uncle once, though he now seems to be living in semi disgrace, and we don't ever get to the bottom of that one.

Theo is already dishing out legal advice to his classmates, one suffering through parent's splitting, another on the cusp of having the family home repossessed. I can't charge, he says when one of the kids offers payment, I don't have my licence yet. It sure won't be long.

The main thrust of the story centres round a high profile murder Case going on in the city. The accused is about to walk due to insufficient evidence and when Theo stumbles on a crucial new witness just as the trial is ending the story really gets under way.

It is clear from the reviews that many people did not realise this was a book primarily aimed at the youth audience, but don't let that put you off entirely. The story rattles along in the same old Grisham way. Of course it is well written, even allowing for the occasional breaks to explain to the youngsters and newcomers what exactly the legal terms and ramifications mean.

We suspect any Grisham reader will still want to read this and will enjoy doing so. The big question is; how will this book impress that new target audience?

Whether that's great, moderate, or not at all, you can expect to see more of these slimmed down cut down watered down legal thrillers coming from Mister G in his quest to regain his crown.

After all, they are much shorter and quicker to write, and you could expect to see a couple of these beasties churning off the production line every year if the demand was there, and it just might be.

Despite everything we enjoyed it. It is a good read and well worth a second look.

So what's next? The Rowling girl creating a wicked witch of the courtroom? Now that we would like to see.
