Check with your butcher but the meat can go bone sour after 8 hrs if the chest cavaty is not opened up. Either way, glad you found it.:-D

That elk must have gotten his dates mixed up. he shouldn't have been out in the open till the next day.

Seeing as now the season is over and you bagged a beauty..... Where in Region 8 did you stumble across this guy? I have been tracking the okanagan park herd for the past couple years and they always seem to be between Penticton and Arawana around this time of year. Bag him anywhere near there? There are more then likely more herds then just that one but thats the only one I have found as of now. Anyways congrats on an amazing beast.
