Rocky Mountain Elk:
SCI scoring

Bulls stand about five feet at the shoulder and average 700 pounds. The antlers are generally longer and slimmer with a large spread. In natural habitat, will spend summer in high mountain meadows and forest, and migrate downward in the fall and winter, in advance of deep winter snows to sheltered low lands where forage is available. Elk once roamed almost the entire North American continent. They were hunted for their hides, meat and antlers by American settlers. Of the six original subspecies, two were hunted to extinction by the mid 1800's. The Rocky Mountain Elk inhabiting our ranch are magnificent animals, regal in bearing and one of the premier game animals of the world.
