GLENWOOD SPRINGS — A pair of bull elk died after being entangled in a mess of barbed wire fencing up Four Mile near Oak Meadows early Monday.
“It was as bad as I’ve ever seen,” said Colorado Division of Wildlife Area Wildlife Manager Perry Will. “It’s common to see a bull or a buck with fence wires in its antlers, or two bulls unable to separate when their antlers lock up.
“But I’ve never seen two bulls get locked up with wire like that,” he said.
At least one of the elk was reportedly still alive just before the officers arrived. But by the time they got there, the animals had both died, he said.
“They beat each other up pretty good in the process,” he said. “It was just a freak accident the way it happened.”
