Thread: 15 minute season

Son has sent me some info about the differences between Rocky Mountain Elk and Roosevelt Elk. As I said it is 100 % Rocky Mountain. In the pictures that follow you can see the different antler structure, RM Elk have the long antlers with throwbacks and the large sticker tine whereas R Elk tend to cluster on the tops like our red deer. The butcher said his bull was about 4 years old and the colouring was influenced by the very hot long summer and he was caked in mud from asshole to head. The two pictures that follow of the RM Elk show different colour phases despite both being RM Elk.
