Two calves stuck in a fence
« on: July 29, 2014, 06:58:33 AM »
Not my pics so I cropped them.

Two elk calves were stuck side by side in a barbwire fence yesterday. One was skewered through it's hind quarter on a fence post and was tore up pretty bad. The other was caught by it's leg.

Both were freed from the fence.

Rough.  Especially, the one with the fence post through it, hope it makes it.

One will survive. The other will likely die of infection and/or predators.

Rough deal.  Hopefully infection and stress don't take their toll.  They are tough animals.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
