Certain Death On Nov. 29, two bull elk were discovered about 15
miles NE of Monticello. During combat for breeding rights, their
antlers had become entangled and locked. Due to exhaustion, one
of the combatants died. Division of Wildlife Resource
conservation officers responded to the scene and solved the
problem by sawing off one of the antlers from the dead bull elk
in order to free the survivor. The action was taken at
considerable personal risk for both men. Luckily, the surviving
bull was too exhausted to take any aggressive action against his
rescuers. |Related Articles | Best viewed with Firefox
