Will79,
There is a domestic elk ranch several miles north of Stroud, OK. I don't know exactly where it is but I can find out if you want. I've driven past it several times with my old rodeo buddy who lives inStroud. I would at least make him replace the meat. If you know where he can get an elk, he has no excuses. I would then contact the local game warden as this definatly sounds like wantonwaste to me. Good luck.
