No those are small by mature bull standards, and they aren't elk; they're red deer. Actually to be accurate, they are red deer / elk hybrids. The ranch has both elk and red deer on it and they will interbreed. An elk has lighter tan hide on its body, a light colored rump, and they're about 20% larger overall. These are dark reddish brown all over.

Thanks Ted I thought they looked more like a Red deer but didnt want to say that, as I know Red deer are not indigenous to the USA.

Poor Brandon.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
