Nice!  Full freezer!
Suggestion for next time - get the hide off asap!   I would not hang etc like deer.
The hide on an elk is much thicker, larger body mass, meat stays warm longer.
Granted Oct is much cooler than September, but why risk losing meat?
 - Google gutless method.

 
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.
