I think you are both correct. I was helping a cousin with his haying operation as he had injured his back. Deer, moose, elk and bear all abound in the area. I was not there for the season but I suspect the backstraps have long since been enjoyed and at least two very good racks are on display over a ranch entrance or gracing a gun room. The locals who see this every day know exactly where to be as the sun is rising on opening day. If I had had the big lens with me that day, we could have a better image from which to determine the trophy vs the tender. My camera took a beating that week banging around in tractors, but I did get some great shots.
Cheers,
Jack
