I received the following email regarding a bull elk that was killed after it was caught in fence wire. I leave it up to you to the statement about a new Utah State record.
So here is the story I received in my email:
"Kerry (my brother in law) works with this guy who had a North Cache County muzzleloader permit, he had not been successful yet and had went home to shower and re-stock. Well on his way back to camp he runs up on these two guys in a strange predicament, they had this big Bull Elk all wound up in a barbwire fence and trying to get him out! Like how do you get a mad Bull Elk untangled from a 1/2 mile of barbwire? So he asked who owned the property and the older gentleman said he did and said if you have a tag, please help us.
The rest is history and this may be a new Utah State record Elk!
What would you do? Hell yeah!
There is no way to get close enough to get him out of the mess, your in the middle of nowhere (Randolph foot hills), by the time the Fish and Game got there he would have killed himself, it's within your hunting unit, you have the land owners permission, or if they did happen to get him kinda cut out he would have died with anything that was still attached.
All I can say is Wow."
end of story
I have some pictures of the elk in my photobucket account but forgot how to attach to this email. If someone wants to post them I will send them to you, I forgot how to post from photobucket account after resizing the pictures.
