Provo Canyon Avalanche

[slamdunk]

Imagine that.....exactly where that bull was stranded in the Cliffs.

What say ye now?

Wow

 

[heartshot]

So if the bull wasn't killed earlier, it could have walked down the remnants of the avalanche and freed itself today?

I say he was destined to die one way or the other!!

Gotta admit, heart shot has a good point?

You mean had it still been alive after spending almost 3 weeks in one spot without a nibble or a sip and somehow not been swept off the cliff in the avalanche?
Sure....I guess it's possible ?

Not too mention it's thin legs acting like trek poles in the soft 10' deep snow.....

The bull is dead - probably time to move on

Yeah I heard there were 12 flat brimmers under age of 18 wearing Chag merch that were stacking up the browns for the May 1st pick up when they triggered the slide.

I think that avalanche was actually further up the canyon by the dam, while the elk was closer to the Sundance turn off. Either way, it's a DEAD issue!

Hell maybe that Martin is smarter than we think. I think I’m gonna make an e-book on how to clean house in a shed closure.

Them Man Made Rocks Are F'ing The Eco System Up!

Time To Tear That Garbage Down!

 

[Cam@strawberry]

That’s not the same place.

Lol.....I can't argue that point!?

 

[slamdunk]

It's the same wall below the dam and above the tunnel

That camera is about 2 miles up canyon from the Sundance turn.

Lol.....yes, with no pun intended ?

Bad deal all around.
That new highway has changed the migration routes and basically that whole north side from the tunnel to the dam is a sheer wall and didn't used to be.

More heavy snows expected this entire week, I wish those elk stuck in that canyon would just keep walking west and pop out onto the Wasatch front above Orem, Lindon and PG and they'd be fine.

I was told by a DNR guy that bull had been there on that wall for 6 days ?‍

They will not be fine as Orem etc is still in Utah.

The big bad shed hunters will get them!

So they had 5 days to haze it up the same way it came down?

I don't know specifics on the incident, just what I was told and what their story is.

I'm just glad the bull didn't fall unexpectedly into oncoming traffic and kill someone, I suppose I share the same thoughts the DNR did ?

Beating a dead horse.,,, or I mean elk..,,

I don't either.

But I know if a few bulls that fit cut down "because they were too injured" to survive.

Both of which sustained those injuries years previous and both had made it through rutting, 2-3 years.

I don't like too quick to kill because a bull might fall on the road, or cross one
