4 Idaho elk find themselves in quite the predicament over the weekend

HAILEY, Idaho (KBOI) — Four elk were trapped or entangled in window wells over the weekend in Blaine Couty, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game reports.

The first report was of a cow elk with a disk stuck on its neck. Officers located the elk, but it had moved into a large herd, so they couldn't isolate it and remove the disk.

Wildlife officials say they'll monitor the elk over the next few weeks.

The second was a bull elk with twine wrapped around its antlers. Officers said the twine didn't threaten the elk, and since its antlers will fall off in the next few weeks, they left it alone.

1. These poor creatures.

That’s one heck of a deep window well.

3. The local herd mows my lawn during the winter, usually on moonlit nights.

Rarely do they show up in the summer.



This one is just below my office window.
