Idaho: "Uh, yeah, I came home and found an elk in my basement. Yes, yes, that's what I said. An elk."

IDAHO -- An elk in Idaho found a nice place to warm up while trying to escape the cold mountain snow the area has been seeing.

The homeowner was awakened at around 12:45 a.m. Wednesday when a cow elk ended up in a basement room after falling through a window well.

 

  

 

After hours of unsuccessful attempts to get the elk out of the home, Blaine County Sheriff's Office deputies and Fish and Game officers herded the uninjured elk up the basement stairs and out the front door by barricading a path with furniture.
