Locked up elk

Don't know if this has been posted but I thought it was neat.

Guys,
Here is how my day started yesterday (11-29-2007) Got a call that
2 bull elk were locked up and one was dead, the other still alive. The bulls
were in a field about 15 miles Northeast of Monticello. When I got there I actually found 2 bulls locked antlers...
I thought this only happened in other areas...J. and I were going to tranquilize the bull and saw antlers...one
problem..we did not have enough of the drugs to do a good job.
So we walked out there and sawed the one point off of the dead bulls
right antler and then we had to saw the main beam of the left antler to
get the other bull free. The whale tail was over the bulls eyes, lodged
between the eye guards. When we cut it free the bull stood there for
awhile catching its breath with the piece of the antler still in it's
antlers.When it took off the piece of antler came out...
WOW! this was for sure one of the most memorable days....
Enjoy the pics.

When harvested, would you get to count the extra inches and points?
