My front grill and hoof thru my windshield. It's in a photo album somewhere in my old photo album. This was long before I installed a bumper guard!

I watched this bull get shot one morning and it ran right to a road and died.
They had just got it gutted when a crew came by with a mini ex.
Right place at the right time.

A cougar was nibbling on this guy when we finally found it. At least it wasn't a grizzly.

Definitely several in deep holes or terrible deadfall/bushwacks like others have mentioned. There’s a specific canyon face (cliffs basically) that I see a herd of cows feeding on in the spring (eating biscuit root maybe?) that is more of a mountain goat face than an elk slope. Not sure there’d be much usable elk left if one lost its footing there.
