On December 29, a man named Dusty Jones was on his way to work in Jackson, Wyoming when he saw a horrifying scene: a herd of elk collapsed, suddenly, through the ice of the Palisades reservoir.
Jones ran to the rescue and quickly called for a friend with a chainsaw to come and help out. A large group people joined in to help save the 13 elk that broke through the ice.
“Before you knew it, there were 30-40 people there,” Jones told East Idaho News, “We began cutting a little path toward the shore so the animals could walk out but they were so cold they couldn’t move. That’s when we just started grabbing them and pulling them out.”
