So what is the consensus on an elk chest to withers measurement But be prepared when he doesn't just fall over lol. If i need to hold 12 inches high, what can i refer to on the elk that gives me that measurement?

During this time, bull elk depart their groups and go to their deepest sanctuaries
Basically, all they want to do at this time is hide from predators (like hunters) and focus on recovering from the rut while also building up reserves so they can get through the winter months.
Quick question for you elk hunters How much does an elk quarter weigh bone in and boned. I took an average 3.5 year old bull this week end and made a very clean kill with a neck shot so i took my time this morning cutting him so i could get a good set of numbers for some others info He's a little above the average elk but below a big boy, there was less than a pound of meat loss so.
I have sourced everything i can to feel 100% confident on the elk antler point restriction for the unit i am hunting this fall I am going to ask you experienced co elk hunters as well My understanding is as follows A legal bull has four points on one side or a brow tine of at least 5.
Here is a very small, immature bull elk getting hit with 3400ft lbs of energy for reference
Well placed shots are key, but elk dont give up easy I would still shoot an elk at probably 500 yards with a 6.5 prc under the right conditions
