  This is sad… i am assuming that the elk are dead.. to bad we couldnt have found them sooner..

• 3. Michelle  |  November 14th, 2007 at 4:28 pm

  Ha Ha that is funny. I would have loved to have shot one of those. Too bad the fence found them before I did!

  This kind of thing always bums me out. Right up there with the large animals getting killed on the roadside.

  How can you lagh at that and say this is funny. This is very sad. no animal should have to die this way. As a hunter you should want every animal to die as fast and as humanly as possible. I hope that you do not represent the hunting community.

  Not funny at all,this is very sad. It sounds like someone want’s to be like the boy’s but don’t have a clue about wildlife.

  Looking at the second picture it looks like one of the bulls is still looks alive, did the game and fish put him down. Some time nature as a srange way of doing thing??

  it kinda does look that way but by the way the deer looks, the barbed wire might have choked him.

• 10. marshall  |  November 15th, 2007 at 10:23 pm

  That’s a good point, the animals very well could have been sedated before moved. But if so why did’nt they just cut the wire. 100yrds. thats alot of brut strenth. Glad i’m not the fence.

  “Some time nature as a srange way of doing thing??”

  Mother Nature didn’t make that fence anymore than she made Margarine.

  i was there i seen them up close just mins after they were put down ones eyes were gone and the other was goured in the side by another bull

  I am from the reservation where these two elk were and the game warden had to put both of these amazing animals out of their missery the barb wire was tangled up so bad that the elk were just suffering and it is sad to see these amazing animals die this way.

  So sorry these type of happenings happen.. I feel so sad about the pain these guys were feeling..In a way this is a comparison of what humans could do to each oher if it weren’t for the law close by!1

• 15. brandon  |  November 19th, 2007 at 11:41 am

  i would have shot them if i saw them to take the pain away

• 16. Anna  |  November 19th, 2007 at 8:05 pm

  I agree, it is sad to see such majestic animals suffer like that. At least the game warden was able to end their suffering. Does anyone know what they did with them? It would be good to donate the meat to a organization like Hunters for the Hungry. My Dad and I donate a couple deer and antelope each year to help feed those who need it. Oh, and Matthew # 6, it is not just the boys that hunt and respect the wildlife.

• 17. simon paul  |  November 20th, 2007 at 10:14 am

  they have on display at the tribal complex they had the skulls cleaned and bleached on now on display the meat went to the elders of the res

  Glad to see that there are some people willng to take the time to help michelle #3 understand how stupid he/she sounds..People like that give hunting a bad name.

  mother nature always finds a way to awe! Man on the other hand always find a way to alter mother nature, or try to regulate it. I wonder why there is barbed wire on a reservation where there is wild elk?
  A a farmer and a hunter I was raised to respect all of gods animals. Raising them , butchering or hunting them. I agree with the consensus of hunters in the previous blogs Michelle(femail spelling of that name) is insensitive to an acuelty sensitive circumstance; regarding the majestic bull elks. Perhaps most are aware its the HUNTERS who have contributed the most towards protecting and making big game animals such as elk huntable because of protecting and managing there population. We as hunters are united in the care and respect we show towards these game animals we hunt. I applaud the editor for posting Michelle’s blog. Perhaps there is hope for someone who many may regard as clueless or insensitive. Man/Woman have 3 dimentional minds, the only creature known to possess this higher intellect;we know right from wrong. Fair chase is important to me, but not everyone

  It is very sad to see 2 huge elk have to go down that way, rather than by way of bow.

• 21. Matthew  |  November 28th, 2007 at 4:04 pm

  Nice take #18. Are there any other’s out there boy’s.

• 22. joe and john  |  November 30th, 2007 at 1:23 pm

  we thought that was cool they fought like that but it was prett sad how they got caught up in the barbed wire because it looked like it hurt pretty bad.

• 23. joe saylor  |  November 30th, 2007 at 1:26 pm

  that was cool but my monster 12point had that happen to it too and thats not cool

  see ya and good hunting.

• 24. joe saylor and john tribble  |  November 30th, 2007 at 1:30 pm

  That looks like it hurt them pretty bad and i would have seen it i would have probably put them out of their suffering because it really does look like they were hurting but im glad that you guys saved them so have a good hunting season because we will.
