GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Two bull elk died after being entangled in a mess of barbed-wire fencing on private property near Glenwood Springs early Monday.
“It was as bad as I’ve ever seen,” said Perry Will, Colorado Division of Wildlife area wildlife manager. “It’s common to see a bull or a buck (deer) 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, Will said. John Stroud, Glenwood Springs Post Independent
