    Wow!...My wife made some homemade Elk Salisbury steak out of the tenderloin....its the best I've had...ever IMO. Also I took the rear legs, front legs and backstraps in to get processed, and the total weight was 225lbs not boned but still!

    on a hill...in the woods...by the creek
    Butchered one a couple years ago up Dvorshak Resevoir way...rag horn.

    Found it took a couple of hours of hard work and a steady (keep sharpened) sharp knife...or knives.

    Also learned a few lessons... Don't stand on the downhill side when the guts come out...almost took my buddy down a very steep hill (in fairness it was pretty late and very dark and we were elk noobs). Next lesson was DO NOT PUT THE ELK IN THE COOLER AND ON DRY ICE AND THEN PUT THAT IN A MOTORHOME WITH YOU. Damn near kilt the two of us flat landers the next night.

    Anyhow, they are regal critters, them elk. Wapiti. When you see the terrain they traverse with grace nd ease, you are humbled. When you stand beside the corpus delicious, you are amazed. When you partake of their flesh, you are delighted. Yummy.

    I gotta go elk hunting again soon!

    Congrats once again. You're living right.
