ELK skull or horse??

[JoeVon]

Cow Elk....no question about it.

HORSE - come on folks, use your noodles  .  Elk and Deer have NO upper front teeth.

I was looking at the skull wiht the holes in it....that's the horse skull.  The other one is an elk, as everyone has already made perfectly clear

elk.....horses have teeth on the top in the front

[C-Money]

Good point about the lack of upper teeth. It must be a cow ELK.  Or could it be a moose?

Nessy mystery solved.

[jackelope]

is it legal to pick up a skull in the woods even know it has no horns?
if it had horns, it's not legal to remove it from the woods.

[ICEMAN]

Oops.

[backwoods_boy]

Well if it was...whoops... but that seems pretty stupid if it is.
ITS DEAD!!! Geez....
they never told us anything in our hunters-ed class about not picking up skulls in the field. 
ha ha!

[huntnphool]

Elk for sure

[backwoods_boy]

Cool

Man-0-man, I was almost ashamed how long it took some of you folks to figure out it wasn't a horse! the teeth thing and all.....

deer, elk, moose, cows, goats, sheep, buff'ler, ALL don't have teeth on thier upper jaw....

city folks....

oh, and the warden told the kids in my son's hunter ed class it wasn't legal to pick up a scull with antlers  mounted on it unless it was on your own proper-T.

[backwoods_boy]

ummmm so what do i do...thats not really a known thing or at least i didnt know.
and besides when i put it in my pack i was certain it was a horse.
whoops.
i guess ill just go put it back where i found it....

It's a cow elk Elk have whistler's on the top. It's part of the trophy when you harvest an elk. Always take out the whistlers.
