Hi Matte5, this is really one huge elk, and good for you guys to be able to get it. I do feel sorry for the poor animal however. Somewhere deep in me there is a voice calling: poor elk...

No I'm not angry. I understand that some people do hunt for the meat and not just to cut off the head to hang on the wall!

Oh wow! I can't get over how big it is. I was seriously misinformed in school about the size of elk. Is that one larger than average or about the normal size for an elk?

Hello Flight. It was a bad school you went in, this is a normal size of a grown up Elk.
