Lock up
« on: December 06, 2007, 11:09:33 AM »
Got this email from a co-worker that he had gotten from a family friend, it read:

Pictures of Bulls Locked up.

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, Utah.

 

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.

What a job!  :chuckle:

glad to see 1 of them survived.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Wow!  That is really amazing.  It's pretty wild that the elk hung around after being freed.  Actually he was probably exhausted from trying to get free.

That's what I heard.  The Elk just stood there for close to 5 minutes after being freed....totally exhausted.
