A couple were returning home late Sunday night from Hurley, WI, after watching the Packers get thrashed by the Falcons, when they came upon another contest in the middle of the highway. They watched the elk go at it for seven minutes before they finally moved their fight off the road.
These animals are estimated to be between 800 and 900 pounds. The video was picked up by various outdoor magazine websites and went viral with over 4 million views.
About 30 miles from my house.
Best tasting red meet I’ve ever was Elk. Super low in fat, damn tasty. Step on it.
Wasn’t there an episode like this on The Dukes of Hazard?

I believe your thinking of Georgia Boss Hogs. Not the same thing.
The evening wasnt a total waste. At least they got to see a decent “game”.
@Brad: You missed it. Check the spelling.

you tricky SOB you, got it. If I’m ever lucky enough to take an Elk, your invited to the Big Barbecue. Best tasting meat I’ve ever had. Moose is suppose to be really good too. All low in cholesterol.
Hunting Elk is a trip. Whitetails are boring compared to Elk.
My hunting lodge has several Elk racks for hats and coats etc.
For the record, the University of Wyoming study is on the Rocky Mountain subspecies of elk. For these elk, a field dressed weight (defined as viscera and feet removed) is 70% of the live weight and field dressed weights range from 176 lbs for a calf to 540 lbs to mature bulls and yield between 88 to 270 lbs of boneless meat.
It’s called Elk county for a reason

Yummy. Never had elk sausage though. Betcha it’s tasty also.
@Brad: If you ever BBQ a moose, don’t forget to serve squirrel, too.
II’ll do up some Coyote and Road Runner too.
CALL THE POLICE
The state and lawyers will get about $10,000 from each of them.
I was thinking about inviting Boris and Natasha but who’s up for the Mueller investigation?
Moose is really good. Lots of meat on those guys too. I don’t mind a little bit of fat, something real lean is harder to cook for amateurs.
