They are MONSTERS when you first walk up on one. be ready to know how to deal with that! It ain't coming out like an eastern whitetail. Mine, I was lucky enough in Idaho to drop it 20 yards from where we could get the truck, it still to two of us, an ATV and a winch to get it into the trailer.



That's exactly what I was thinking. Typically, the first time you shoot an elk, you'll walk up on it and think, "damn I just shot a horse, now how am I going to get this damn thing back to the truck or camp!!!!!!!"... Be prepared for that, is all I can say...
