Final resting place

I stumbled upon this Elk rack just laying out in the open by a Beaver Pond. I have found many Elk antlers in the past but this was the first skull with antlers. He must have been really old as Elk Island has no natural predators to take down a bull Elk. I was able to make many images of this fine rack with an approaching storm all the while listening to the migrating Sandhill Cranes passing by overhead. Thanks for looking.
