A portion of the volunteer wirepullers at the Taft exit on I-90 after their first day of removing wire near the Hiawatha Trail. A bull elk's rack is in the front showing the dangers this wire imposes on wildlife and the reason the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation organizes the two-day removal around the Fourth of July annually.
