Nice that you posted this and it's awesome someone was able to salvage the animal! :tup: :tup:

Post by: lamrith on June 30, 2018, 10:08:19 AM: Congrats on the salvage!

So one big question, how did you get a full bull up into your truck? Honestly curious as it is a big reason I never considered trying salvage. Cutting one into smaller pieces on side of road is not only a major hassle, but also not the image I want to present to the non hunting comunity..

Few guys being the key, I thought he might have had a way to do solo.

Post by: chester on June 30, 2018, 06:20:11 PM: 5 guys and the elk went right in . :chuckle:

It wasn’t too badly beat up, all 4 quarters and one backstrap were salvaged. Had to leave the tenderloins and heart :'( . Guts were all busted over it’s insides. And the backstrap it looks like it slid on was too tore up to do anything with.
