Wildlife officers in Colorado finally were able to free a bull elk that was spotted wandering with a tire around its neck for at least two years.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife said the elk was spotted south of Pine Junction on Saturday, and officers responded to search the area. The agency said it was the fourth time in the past week that officers attempted to locate and tranquilize the elk.
