Hoo, boy; sorry to hear that. I cooked up elk steaks this evening for my wife and myself. Some of the most tender, delectable meat imaginable. Really sorry to hear when meat is rank.

That is a nice bull. It's priceless having success while hunting with your own son.

Great bull, but can you really say you "snuck up on" them when the shot was 500+? :grin:

Just funnin'. Congrats to your son.

A few years ago I shot a large 5X5 bull right at daylight he was standing in a Canola field & there was not another Elk to be seen. I made the shot and he basically walked 75 or so yards and dropped over.
Unfortunately I had the same problem with the meat everyone told me that it likely was on the verge of spoiling but we had him field dressed within 10 minutes & hanging on our skinning pole skinned & off to the butcher's cooler from when he was shot to the cooler was no more than 90 minutes.
My cousins swears that we did not get the same elk back as the one we took in , we have never taken another animal to that particular butcher and we have never had another problem.

Blessings,
