A hefty bull elk was found tangled between trees near Golden High School in Golden, Colorado, when wildlife officers were called to tranquillize the elk and carry out a potentially life-threatening rescue mission.
Public relations manager of Colorado Parks and Wildlife Jason Clay, 38, filmed the rescue at 8 a.m. on Jan. 11, after local resident Marie McHale Drake alerted the team to the distressed elk upon seeing its antlers tangled in rope tied to tree branches.
