Spoilage over night?

As he lays.

And so endures the reputation of The Elk Factory....

Big boy.......any word on meat yet? That side against the ground could be trouble......

[BULLBLASTER]

Stud bull! I'm glad a recovery was made! If the meat is good that is great! If not, you guys did all youcould... good job!

[carpsniperg2]

Good deal. I hope the meat turns out ok for you guys. Was he down for the count when you guys found him?

[D-Rock425]

Something get at his belly there?  It looks funny to me.

Meat was mostly saved--praise God!  Onto the butcher. Sorry Jackelope et al, no more pictures for now. I'll kill a bigger bull there next year and promise to slather photos all over the place. Where I live now you can't just buy an elk or even a deer tag OTC. So this year I have to be content to be a glory hound.

Thank you all for the advice and well wishes.

Cheers
