Tire stuck around Colorado elk’s neck removed after two years

This was what I was thinking. Maybe the risk of a piece of a steel belt catching the neck? Someone needed the marrow for a stew? Dunno.

Article says they couldn't get through the steel belts with the tools they had.

Wonder why they didn't cut off the tire instead of the antlers.

In the article they said that they couldn't cut through the bead with the tools that they had.
I would have had a cordless Sawzall and some metal cutting blades.
They didn't say what they had for tools.

One thing is that the ol' boy got a free pass for this hunting season, running around bald like that !
Prolly won't get any nookie though.

Many unanswered questions in the article:
-How do they really know it was there for 2 years?... did the Elk have a receipt?
-What did the Elk do with rest of the car?
-Maybe a "security tire"? a cultural thing (like an Elk version of a crucifix)? Kinda insensitive to remove it.
-How do they know that the Elk didn't think it made him look cool? (and now needs to find another Tire)
-Was it his "turn" to wear the herd's tire, and now they're gonna be pissed that he lost it?
-Is there a child somewhere missing their tire-swing?

I was thinking the same thing. It was tranquilized it would be that difficult at all.

You would think that if you are going out to remove a tire from around a bull elk's neck, that you would come prepared?

Yeah, you're going to want more than a pocket knife and a pair of pliers.

Ya' gotta roll with the changes. But I have one question:
Radial or bias ply?

Hmmm......well it appears my joke was possibly not as funny or obvious as I had hoped.

Sounds like they won't disrupt the grading curve for the rest of the class.
