Anatomically correct





This place was really nice

We enjoyed looking at everything, but felt kind of weird about it because, while the message is all about "conservation", you know, in the end, it's really about hunting and killing these beautiful animals.
















It was interesting to see the scores attributed to each Elk

They were all pretty much state or near state record Elk according to Boone and Crockett Club Scoring. Again, we felt kind of bad admiring such beauty, which was only available to us because they were hunted and killed.
