When he ran away he got his antlers caught in a tree. :chuckle:  I though I was going to have a dead elk without firing a shot.  It about broke his neck. :chuckle:   Poor *censored*.   I hope none of the girls seen him.

Need breeding stock so you can get more images of elk.  Myself, I would take the younger one...I love elk steaks.  Great photos.  Please keep them coming.

Personally, I would've drilled him as I haven't tagged out anything larger than a 4 point.  He's a dandy though. 

Again.... great pics Bone!

Maybe you would question taking that one, but I sure wouldn't. Nice pic.
