PINE, Ariz. – An elk with a tire swing wrapped around its antlers luckily turned up at the right house for help, CBS Denver reported.

When she saw the elk, she said, “I literally had to do a double take because I thought I am not seeing what I think I’m seeing.”
The poor guy was all wrapped up.
Luckily for him, though, Butler is a veterinarian.
Butler said it was a long and daunting task to set him free, and lasted around 12 hours. You can see the moment it happens near the end of the video.
“I went up to him, I cut it and he was free and it was amazing,” Butler said.
Butler said she actually had to talk the elk through the whole process and, as a result, is now nicknamed “The Elk Whisperer.”
