You can better see the size of the animal in this picture. They estimate it weighed around 1100 pounds. That's a lot of meat!
Well done, Grandpa Grasshopper!

Nimrod, A Mighty Hunter Before the Lord
Grandpa Grasshopper, aka "Nimrod", went elk hunting with a friend, way up north of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and boy did he get a big one. You can't see all the tines, but it's an eight-by-eight.

1100 pounds sounds like some of the steers we have out here! :D
ReplyDeleteWe bought some elk jerky at the farmers market last weekend for a gift - but they had no samples for us to try. :-\
WEll done, you - Catching up all these posts of your November doings!
WOW. Just wow. That elk is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteThat is going to make a lot of venison (is elk meat venison?) - way to go, Grandpa Grasshopper!
I should post the picture of the 350 pound bear that our neighbor shot behind our house. I don't have many "unbloody" shots of it, though, so I have refrained. Suffice it to say, the thing was massive!
WOW!! That's HUGE!! He must have been a majestic site when he was alive. Now I see lots of crockpot meal in your future.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
