Wow,
Learn something everyday. I always knew elk were tough to kill, I didn' t know they had an immune system to match! I assumed (bad) like most mammals, if you puncture the lung and introduce hide, hair, and dander into the wound that the ensuing infection would be lethal. I guess not, I stand corrected. Humans sure are whimps by comparison, aren' t they? Magnificent animals.

Keep it going Montana,
