There's lots of great advice here guys. But I thought I'd touch on knives. Skinning and elk is a lot tougher than a deer. It's pretty much the same procedure except the elk is a lot bigger and the hide is a lot tougher. Be sure to bring a couple of knives and a small stone. That way if you have to skin and quarter out in the field, you'll have enough edge. Good Luck to ya. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
