Jan. 13тАФOn Monday, Idaho Fish and Game conservation officers freed a bull elk whose antlers had become entangled in a backyard swing тАФ the second time in recent months that this particular animal had to be anesthetized and rescued from outdoor equipment, according to an agency news release.
Fish and Game received a report Monday that the elk had become tangled in a swing hanging from a tree in a backyard in Gimlet, a small town about halfway between Hailey and Ketchum in the Wood River Valley. By the time officers responded, the elk had broken the swing off of the tree, but the wooden seat and several feet of rope were tangled in the animal's antlers.
