Elk, nothing beats a well care for cow or spike. As most know big bulls can be rank if not cared for properly, and in general are not as good to eat, nothing worse than a pan of frying meat smelling like a rutted bull. Back when I was young my parents and grandparents never took what would be considerd trophies today, the bigger the horns the worst the taste. If food price keep going up, hunting to eat might come back into fashion.
