Species Account:
Female Elk was hit by my john deere forage harvester while chopping corn for silage. Animal was in the rows and could not be seen by the operator. Elk was hit in the rear and had both rear legs cut off by the harvester. her under-body was also damaged. There were many elk in the field at the time and have been living there for months prior to harvest. Operator has tried to avoid any collisions but was unable to avoid this due to limited sight in the tall corn.
