Is this a Real Elk?
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...count=1&ref=nf
Maybe I don't get out much but I have never seen or read about a 9 x 10 typical elk in the wild before. Is this real or photoshoped? Or is it Farmed or Penned? Has anyone ever seen anything like this in the wild? Thanks in advance.

Not sure I'd call it typical but elk do occasionally grow lots of points. Looks like an 8x8 frame with junk. Definitely possible.

Yeah I saw a picture of that non-typical bruiser. He sure was packing a lot of head gear.
