Bulls Locked Up
offi cer TJ Robertson got an interesting
photo call on November 29, 2007. Two bulls locked
up with one dead and the other sure to follow suit. This
occurred in a fi eld about 15 miles northeast of Monticello,
Utah. He realized he didn’t have enough tranquilizer to

do a good job of putting the live bull out. With the help
of Sergeant J. Shirley they walked up to the bulls and
proceeded to saw the one point off of the dead bulls right
antler. They then sawed the main beam of the left antler to
get the other bull free. The whale tail was over the bulls
eyes, lodged between the eye guards. When they cut it free
the bull stood there for awhile catching his breath with the
piece of the antler still in his antlers. When the bull took
off the piece of antler came out.
