I think you thought he said ''what'' happened and what he really said was ''where'', that sucks to see a bull killed like that. That antlers would have been going home with me!!

I couldn't even imagine the torture to be pinned like that and slowly die. Days or even weeks trapped like that before finally taking your last breath. And have such a strong will to live and can live so much longer in situations like this. Very sad

Pretty sure the tree broke its neck and/or created massive internal injuries which caused the elk to die almost immediately.  Unless of course the elk happened to be laying down when the tree fell.

That's a shame to lose a bull that nice to a tree!

I've had that happen before during hunting season, and actually had a client that decided he wanted to use his tag on the bull and took it.  It was still alive pinned under a tree like that, client killed it and took it, so it work out in that case, but I feel bad for the bull in the pic.

HA.... retaliation for all those elk scrapes.  Wonder if that old tree was just waiting its whole life for the right moment?

I don't think so. This photo has been around before. Last time I saw it, there were other angles, showing the carcass on the other side of the tree....

In which case I'd be back the next year collecting sheds :)

Initially I thought it was posed / set up until I saw the decay.

Not necessarily if the end of the tree hit something higher than the ground level which it looks as though it did, given the gap between the tree and ground.
