I took the pic in case I got checked by the DOW becasue the bear ate the gonads off the elk, and in CO, you've got to leave them attached. A wise man is frequently humbled.

No? George (goodnews) My comment wasn't directed to you, just posted after you... all kinds of non-elk photos were posted. Generally I'm mystified how threads drift from the original post/request. Guess I'm too literal for internet forums... if a guy requests "as it lay photos" on an elk forum, then posts the same, I assume that's what he want's or he'd have put the thread on the general big game forum.
