      That's been my thought with some of the weaker named weapons. The enchantment tends to be rather unique, like the Gloves of the Pugilist. You can disenchant them and apply that enchantment to a better item. But that choice doesn't apply to all unique weapons, esp those named above, like Windshear.

    A few issues:
    -You suggest improving the Headsman's Axe at a grindstone to boost its damage. This axe *cannot* be improved in the base game, much like the Ebony Blade, though it can be enchanted.
    -You mention that Windshear trivializes the Ebony Warrior, while he's actually one of the few enemies that can hold his own against it. Indeed he has the Tower of Strength and Reflect Blows perks, which allow him to resist stagger and occasionally reflect it onto you.

    I know its not the most well hidden weapon, but my favorite is the axe of fiery souls; pretty much because you can disenchant it and add soul trap and fiery damage to more potent weapons. Maxing out your enchantment skill and being able to add a second enchantment makes it work better; my current weapon burns, freezes and captures souls at the same time.

Edit: And though it doesn't work toward the achievement, It is technically a Daedric artifact, that's why it's such a good weapon.

    The Poachers Axe is intentionally bad from what I can tell, upon entering the camp and entering the general area of the bandits unnoticed, the bandits without the axe will say something along the lines of needing to sharpen the axe, which is also why the other will be at a grindstone actively sharpening it. So the low damage is due to it being dull

    The way the Poachers at Halted Stream Camp brought down the mammoths is kind of self explanatory if you think a bit longer about it. Behind the back of the dead mammoth in the main room in the cave there's another path, that leads into skyrim, but really just leads to a pit filled with wood spikes in it. In the pit we find some travelers and Elk and things of the kind. So basically, the bandits would lure the mammoths into the pit, the mammoth would die, and then they would take it into the cave, to strip the carcass of the flesh, bones, tusks etc.

    to resolve the mystery of the mammoth killed by weak people, it's very simple: if you advance a little more in the caverne, you find another entrance to it that is a hole with spikes... A trap then. So the mammoth fall in the spikes, hurt itself by the fall, and get killed when defendless... so simple than that :)

    You can also attack him yourself forcing him into melee combat, leave and return when he is nolonger angry (or use a spell/scroll like calm or harmony)

    I just want to point out that the Poacher's axe is most likely not used on live animals. It's likely a world building tool rather than weapon, implying that's what they have been using to chop up dead mammoths.
    Also, if the Stag Prince's bow grants you 5 points per 20 animal kills up to 100, wouldn't that make 25 points rather than 20?
    This is a fun episode. I still haven't played Skyrim in several years.

    That's NOT the only way to get that bow, Nate.
    You can also walk up to the guy, drop any weapon better than an iron dagger on the ground, then punch him one time with your fist.
    He will pick up the weapon and equip it, then sheathe it when you lower your fist after punching him. Now, you can buy the bow.
    Alternatively, you can reverse pickpocket the weapon you drop onto him instead. This eliminates any chance for him not to pick it up, if for some reason he doesn't detect it on the ground. Otherwise, the same process.
    This avoids having to grind Pickpocket altogether, and is the easiest way to obtain the Glass Bow of the Stag Prince.
