    The area my son hunts only has the Rocky Mountain Elk, Roosevelt Elk are only found on Vancouver Island according to a report I just read from the Ministry of the Environment Canada. I have seen them when we have visited years back and the cows are as you described very dark in the neck and creamy bodies.

    The antler form of your sons bull is Roosevelt or Roosevelt / Rocky cross esp. the dagger tine. Same with its coat colour. The fall colour phase for a Rocky is cream with some darker hair through the coat and dark legs. The bull is also stocky solid bastard and not a tall Rocky shape
