Yesterday, some sportsmen came across a bull elk stuck in a bog hole in Garfield County. They called us. Billy Conn, his son Todd Conn, Jim Lamb and Michael Durfey worked together to safely free the bull elk, and we couldn’t be prouder. 👏👏👏 #Utah pic.twitter.com/B271b7d8dw — Utah DWR (@UtahDWR) August 29, 2019
