Took a pic of this elk and noticed in binos appear to have had his nose broken at one time and did not heal

Yes. Good pic. One finds Roman noses on near all of the critters that bump heads to impress the females.

I think that might be a rhinocerus elk. The horn will appear soon. KC

2d pic - looks like he's breathing through his mouth. Very possible broken nose.
