Species Account:
Elk was hit on the highway by a logging truck, the truck driver did not kill or stop, the elk made it into the field then laid down. The female elk laid in the field for a couple of hours till my husband called me to go see if it was still there. I did and went to the closest house and asked if they owned the field they did not so I went back to the field where the elk was located. I then called 911 to get someone out to put it out of its missory . A person from the sheriffs department then showed up to put the animal down. It was a full grown cow elk, both back legs were broken.
