trick question yes and no . YES a whole elk fits but NO if you do not cut it in half first lol
went out for opening day of rifle elk here in mt with a cpl friends. left camp in the dark and walked in about 3 miles . got to the spot 1 friend said we needed to be as the sun comes up.
well all i seen was 3 moose and watched my friend head up into the timber cuz that is the only place the elk could be right ? well i did some glassing out into the prairie and found some that did not know they should be up high in the timber.looked it over and said to myself lets go before they get the memo on the timber. a little over 3 miles later and about 1 1/2 hrs i eased up and found just 1 or 2 bedded in the sagebrush out in front of me close to 300 yrds. so i moved back out and went down a cpl hundred yrds and moved back up and this bingo i found them all [ about 75 ] i glassed them over looking for a nice bull but only found 6 rag horns. really did not want to shoot a rag horn so plan B [ this area is open to cows also ] looked over some of the cows in front of me and found a very nice looking big cow. took the safety off my little 35 wildcat and she never even got up out of her bed. after all the elk took off i went over put my tag on her and did some gutting then range the fence post i just shot from and it blinked out 47 yrds
then went back got my kia sportage and went back to get her. yep she was like only 20 yrds from an old blm road that is still open to travel on. backed up to her and my friend and i both did our best 8th grade math and both came up with she is not going in whole lol
i fast cut in the mid section and she is loaded and home ready for a cpl steaks now
