Tracks, hard to say given the picture quality.

Also, the best way to age an elk is with the lower jaw/teeth.

Will say, the rack doesn't look like it has much mass or length (again, pictures aren't very good), and the ivories are pretty rounded and large. An older elk will have ivories that are pretty flat, and when really old, worn down to the gum line. My guess is your bull is no more than 4.5 yo at the oldest, and possibly a 3.5 yo.
