For a saw, if and when you need one, I like the Bahco Laplander. Swedish steel and a great tool to have in your pack whether or not you actually use it on the elk.

Western Washington deer and elk hunter here.
I'm not really a long range hunter but enjoy looking at info here that will help me get better at all ranges.
Keep up the great work!
