Video Description:

Colorado wildlife officials have finally helped an elusive elk get the car tire that had been hanging around its neck for at least two years off the animal. The 4-year-old, 600-pound bull elk was spotted and tranquilized, and officers were able to cut off the tire, but they had to cut off the elk’s antlers to remove it.. "We would have preferred to cut the tire and leave the antlers, officer Scott Murdoch said, “we had to just get the tire off in any way possible.”

    Good to know the animal did not have to suffer a terrible death

    Poor baby. I was glad to hear that his antlers will regrown. Thanks Mel.

    Not sure why they had to cut off the antlers if they were able to cut off the tire. Seems like overkill to me. "He'll grow a new set" is a very flimsy excuse.

    I love rescue stories like this one! I too was rescued, by Jesus Christ. And I've been happy ever since.

    A lucky one that he was found.

  • John D. Laskowski

    I battery operated sawzall would have done the trick without removing antlers !

    Another feel-good rescue story... I LOVE 'em! It's good to know there are caring people who will go out of their way to help someone (or something) out of a bad situation.
