Calf elk is tasty and tender. Spike elk is tasty and tender. Doe deer are tasty and tender. Usually cow elk is tasty and tender. Big 6 point bull are tasty and chew like a boot. Rag horn bull is worthless except as hamburger. Steaks are tough; antlers are puny. Oops, wait, the ivories may be pretty. Calf ivories are hollow and colorless.
Hope you have a wonderful hunt this year!
