This fall a hunter with a bull elk only tag- stopped into the meat processor where I was working; and asked me if young bull elk were better tasting than old bull elk.
I said "well the old saying is-'young elk-old moose'". That young elk were better tasting; and that nobody faulted anyone for shooting a spike over an old 6 point.
He was thinkin when he left to go back hunting.
He showed up a few days later with a bull elk that had a beautiful 6 point rack on one side and a very short spike antler on the other !!!
Guess the guy couldn't make his mind up- antler over meat
So- ya never know what the other side of this buck looked like
I'm thinkin: its worth some searching for the answer !!
