elk in basement in Hailey



We wish we were making this up folks.... but last evening, another elk was confronted by our conservation officers for breaking and entering. This elk crashed through a window well in a basement in Hailey. Fish and Game Conservation Officer Lee Garwood was able to negotiate with the elk by smacking it on the rump with a hockey stick he found in the basement, convincing it to vacate. I suppose we should say it.... if you live in the Wood River Valley, cover your window wells or you could end up with an unexpected intruder.
