I seen that on the TV show Life Below Zero the one guy had caribou fetus he got from the cow he shot.

I would assume a fetus should be about 30lbs at the time of this hunt ...have no clue if the meat would be salvageable and how much there really would be. but I would assume about as much as a lamb.
My limited research shows elk calves being born at 33-35 pounds so I'm thinking that the fetuses will be much smaller at the time of the hunt. You could always target calves, although harvesting pregnant cows would help to reach management goals faster, I suppose. Do whatever you feel is right!
