Wow! I hadn't seen that either. I've seen antelope smack fences that I thought for sure would break there necks and they just jumped up shake it off and keep on running. Of corse they don't way 800-1000 lbs.

Thanks for sharing the video. I've never seen it. Crazy stuff!!
Years ago I picked up a postcard in the Yellowstone area that had a picture of a nice bull and 3-4 cows. On the back of the postcard it said something like, "Many elk live in the Yellowstone area. Cow elk weigh 300-600 Lbs. Large bull elk can weigh between 600 and 1079 Lbs." I laughed outloud that the postcard declared that the top end weight for a bull was 1079 Lbs. I always wondered how they came up with that precise number.
I have no idea how much a big bull can actually weigh, but I would like to find out how hard it is to pack one out of the hills with my tag on it!
A post card may not be a reliable source
. Maybe one of the lurking wildlife biologists will chime in and set us straight.

I, too once saw a buck deer trip on the top wire, and tumble into tall sagebrush in a cloud of dust and brush. I thought for sure he had died, as everything was still afterward. I then caught movement at the edge of the brush- it was the buck low-crawling out of the brush! He finally stood up, shook a bit, then bounded off!

I'm guessing the people doing the original weighing were scientists, who use the metric system. 1079lbs is 490kg, and I bet they rounded that to the nearest 10 for the biggest elk they weighed. Some inference, a hypothesis, a little data, a conversion factor of 2.202...

If you shot one of those spots and they kicked like mad then you didn't break the spine. Anything I have shot in the neck has dropped dead in its tracks and didn't twitch at all, and anything I hit in the back couldn't move its back end at all, they had full movement of the front half but not the back half.
That bull didn't break his neck. He just couldn't breath.
