PARK CITY, Utah, Feb. 4, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — Two elk, a cow and her calf — were rescued after becoming trapped in the window well of a Park City residence.
“After placing a piece of plywood between the glass and the elk, we were able to safely tranquilize the animals,” said a Facebook post issued Tuesday by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
“Thanks to a helping hand from some construction workers who volunteered their mini excavator, we lifted the tranquilized elk from the window well, placed them into a horse trailer and administered a reversal drug to bring them out of sedation.
“They were successfully released at a remote location.”
The post did not give the date or location of the rescue operation. It did did share video of the elk running off into a snowy landscape.
