Merriam's elk in New Mexico

Recommended Posts

I can see the lighter hide and mane on the first picture. I have seen Yellowstone elk with that coloring but I supppse it could be a trait of a a merriam as well.

Its just what we were told. Trust me when this thing came running in during the rut we weren't thinking anything but shoot. It took 4 shots with a .54 muzzleloader to go down.

i figure the mogollon monster ate the last merriams elk just before a jag killed the monster but the jag ended up as a grizzly breakfast.  imagination is a wonderful thing-and sometimes there is a little fact mixed in.
