Elk locked up
 
Story from the e-mail I received:



Guys,
Here is how my day started yesterday (11-29-2007) Got a call that 2 bull
elk
were locked up and one was dead the other still alive.

The bulls were in a field about 15 miles Northeast of Monticello.

When I got there I actually found 2 bulls locked antlers... I thought
this
only happened in other areas...

J. and I were going to tranquilize the bull and saw antlers...one
problem..we did not have enough of the drugs to do a good job. So we
walked
out there and sawed the one point off of the dead bulls right antler and
then we had to saw the main beam of the left antler to get the other
bull
free. The whale tail was over the bulls eyes, lodged between the eye
guards.
When we cut it free the bull stood there for awhile catching its breath
with
the piece of the antler still in it's antlers. When it took off the
piece of
antler came out...

WOW! this was for sure one of the most memorable days....

Enjoy the pics.

Good story. I wonder how freaked out the live elk was when they were cutting the other elk

The remaining live one must have been on the brink of exhaustion as well. Job well done in freeing him!
