A Yellowstone Eulogy - MacFisher - 02-12-2009
His name was just a numeral, yet he had legions of human admirers and few rivals among his own species.
Mighty bull elk No. 6 has died, victim of a freak accident just north of Yellowstone National Park. He tripped while trying to cross a fence and somersaulted onto his back. Pinned between large rocks with his antlers beneath him, the elk slowly suffocated. He was found dead Sunday. Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash says No. 6 impressed tourists and everyone else who saw him. The elk had a trophy-sized rack and weighed an unusually hefty 725 pounds. He was famous for venting his sexual frustration on rival bull elk and cars during fall mating season. Nash says No. 6 caused many thousands of dollars in damage to tourists' cars over the years. No. 6 was believed to be at least 15 years old. He is survived by a large harem of cow elk.

At 15, he lived a pretty long life I would think most bulls don't live that long, especially outside our parks. I'm sure he left alot of his gene pool spread thru out the mountains in that area.
