Nice photos.
We dont have elk, but we have a great overabundance of white-tails and black bear. My cameras have recently been showing lots of fawns, moms, and 4-6 point white-tails. The bucks arecin prime velvet right now.
I butcher and prepare a lot of antlerless white tail that I give to the indigent elderly in our area. I can skin, quarter, butcher and grind the remainder, plus vacuum seal one in about six hours.
A critter the size of one of those elks would spoil before I got it skinned and quartered. Like Dave D, I'm getting more senior every day, and have become half-fast at doing these things.
