Several years ago we killed two bull elk west of Colorado Springs on what is known as Buffalo Peaks. Both bulls were inedible the meat stunk so bad and tasted awful. Both were skinned and quartered immediately and cooled out temps were in the low 40' s in the and teens at night.The following year I sent a bow hunter to the same place and he killed bull. After a few weeks he commented that the processor must have switched meat with him because it stunk when cooking and tasted horrible.
It is highly unlikely that three different bulls were mistreated when processing, The common denominator was local and their forage
