With all due respect....that is not an Elk. It is a Red Deer.


Yep...lol. Was waiting for someone to point that out.


You did what?

But the reason for the question is.... I think I’m going to make a project out of him. I’m trying to decide what Taxidermy pieces to order. ( not a big deal because they are close)
I have been looking on eBay and the ‘art’ type stuff is 1to 15k instead of a couple hundred bucks. Or if I screw it up I have something cool in the Garage.



My guess is it’s a red deer.

Thank y’all and
Good times keep the “guessing” coming!


yep, sure, why not

Normanpig can you measure them to give us an idea how big they are.
Didn't want to hijack your thread so I started
a new topic The elk of Eddy so they can see what basket head looks like now.

You bet! No worries. When you say Measure.....I have a construction type tape if that’s what we a looking for.


Or I can learn how to “score” it.

Sounds like fun either way

There is a quite a few red deer ( free range ) in southern young county and south western Jack county that were released from a high fence ranch about 15 years ago. rifle
