Photoshopped
Everyone knows you can’t kill an elk with open sights, 84 power is the minimum scope size.
Also, you can tell tell by the trigger the rifles not a 450 nitro magnum ultra acne improvised rifle, the standard for elk hunting.

Actually great picture, I bet he was the talk of the town.

Actually, a big animal slides very well on top of the snow. Maybe he did that.

Great photo! I would love to shoot an elk of my own someday.

Maine has them.

I remember hearing of them venturing down into NY as well.

Not sure about NH.
