I may be really stupid but not joking.
The article gave detailed discriptions of the animal and even the game biologist were not sure what it was, in fact charges were pending against the hunter in the event it proved to be an moose and also if it was indeed a cross due to it being as much moose as elk.
Anyhow I contacted the Idaho fish and wildlife today inquiring about the animal,whatever they send I will cut and paste here,to at least prove I am not as stupid as I might appear.
