Can elk grow this big?

OK, who shot Thrandruil’s horse?

I found this on you tube, old photos of native americans.

I never saw an elk this big, and with such antlers, like moose?!

Is this possible or is it a photoshop?

The face looks more like a cow, like a Herford cross. Maybe a fallow deer.
 
To my knowledge this is the current #1 B&C Alaska-Yukon moose, killed in 1973 in Alaska. Score 248. Mount currently in Ted Stevens Intl Airport, Anchorage

Below is museum example of extinct Irish elk

Obviously photoshopped, I have seen some pretty huge elks but that elephant big.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
