A photo of my elk

[Beaver]

It looked alot bigger while it was eating grass. Dressed out to 235 pounds. Mmmmmmmm elk steak, sausages, burgers, roasts........

[skibe]

Cow or Bull? Either way nice shot man!

[rossibandit]

What, No Jerky or Pep.

Interesting side note

One day at work this fall, I looked out the window to see a huge bull Elk (6 or 7 spike) cut in half laying in the back of the CO's truck. My office is next to the local butcher. Anyways, this women that I work with comes in the office and says that there is a huge deer in the back of this truck. She just moved to Fernie from Vancouver, go figure

[Mountainman]

Yum.

Actually overheard at Yellowstone:

"How old do deer have to be to become elk?"

Got any good tips/recipies for cooking elk steaks?

There must have been a crowd around when that person said that.

"Where do you keep the moguls in the summer?"

Sheesh.

Congratulations! There's nothing like a full freezer. But I was kinda hoping for a grip and grin pic.

[Snow Dog]

Sweet. My friend scored an elk draw near Nelson this year. Now his freezer looks like yours. The elk bratwurst was excellent.

[repeat]

Elk burgers are so good with a little bacon and cheese.

[MOHSHSIHd]

So, did you bag it right in your yard?

Sad but true

I killed a 15+ point ELK

Simply put;
I was ‘crusin’ a 24’ bobtail on I 90 on 73miles of ID.
Not only was I driving, I was dreaming.
I dreamt that if I didn’t quit looking for satellites I might hit a deer!
Once recovering into a situational awareness,!...
I see a fuking huge world class 15+ trophy of an elk. The beast was taller than the Top Kicks grill! Its Just standing in my lane confounded by my head beams!

I stand on the breaks, make the sign of the cross, flash the lights and, at last resort (don’t ever )HONK THE HORN!!

Sure enough, the big boy ran into an on coming, shiny new tanker, hauling ass the other way! sad

A super sick red cloud of exploding elk rack bummed me out!
tanker truck sliding as her brakes locked up worried me.

My fault? Sure
it was was ugly.





I’m still looking for satellites

[ak_powder_monkey]

Nice! I gotta go to kodiak and shoot one of those

Can't you just phone in a home delivery?

Take a good 1-2kg chunk of fillet and prepare it just like you would
prepare "steak of provencale". I dont know what that is in enrish.

Seasalt (Maldon for example)
oliveoil
garlick
thyme
rosmarin (rosemary?)
salvia
blackpepper

marinade it in a plastic bag for 6-12h.
then grill it on a parilla pan or something similar.
the point is to get the outmost layer(?) rich brown, but the inmost of
the meat should be almost red and blody, like a good steak.
then slice it up to Very thin slices.
slices can be served warm, but i prefer them chilled.
almost like carpaccio..

yam.

I have a friend who is 6 for 6 on elk. I love the fact that I get to eat the meat of the animals he shoots. Bummer is he moved to Montana so no more for me.

[72Twenty]

There must have been a crowd around when that person said that.

"Where do you keep the moguls in the summer?"

Sheesh.

Someone e-mailed me a list of ACTUAL complaints submitted to the Forest Service once (I don't have it anymore) but I remember one...

"You need to put chairlifts in the forest because some of the hiking trails are too difficult."

(it was something to that effect...)

[Beaver]

So, did you bag it right in your yard?

No, the vermin have not arrived in the valley bottoms yet. With only 2 days left on my limited entry tag I figurred I better go find one if they were not going to come to me. I went up Mt. Sentinal just above the old schoolhouse. I saw a couple monster bulls but my tag was cow/calf so I moved on. I'm glad I shot a little one after hauling it out of the bush. TR here

Serious question - what does Elk taste like?

And are the cuts the same as you would find on a deer?

[Beaver]

Elk tases like, well, elk. A bit like moose, not too much like cow and not as gamey as deer :shrug:. No, it does not taste like chicken. The cuts are similar to deer only bigger and more of them.

I've got 4 top sirloin steaks defrosting on the counter for dinner tonight. <wipes drool off keyboard> Mmmmmmmm, BBQ elk steak.
