Elk Kills Ranchhand
 

Supprise twist this morning, SE of Craig, Colorado, a 57 year old ranchhand was fataly gored by a 7X7 bull elk. This occurred on a elk ranch that the person had been told to stay away from the bull,This was his second day on job. I'll have more a little later.

I don't care if they are kinda domesticated, they are decendents of the wild!

OK, as of today, other ranch hands found the victom in the pen with the elk, elk had blood on horns. Sheriffs office stated that elk appeared to be in a second rut!Also stated that he had been " tossed around quite a boit"
As of now, disposition of the elk is uncertain.

I don't lknow how to post links, sorry. However, there was a link on another site, Ruger forum, where the Denver Post stated that the ranch hand died of a heart attack, not a goring as was first suspected.

I saw on the news this morning that the hand died of heart problems. Good news for the elk ... results unchanged for the ranch hand.

Yup, appears the media jumped the gun on the first report.
Sorry I trusted them on posting this......egg on face!
