Title: Locked Elk Antlers

An unusual story from the Salt Lake Tribune.

In short; a game officer found two elk with antlers locked, one dead. They sawed the surviving elk free. He stood around for a few pictures, then took off. Picture shows one of the sawn off antlers still stuck.

I've seen the same thing with Whitetail here....They sometimes fight until one breaks it's neck and the other will die of starvation.

I wonder if someone was able to release the deer? :(

It wouldn't be fair to shoot it unless you were really hungry or hard up.
