I am sure this young elk would have preferred another way.

Oh man...tough way to go is right . Statistically, the coyotes and/or wolves would have found him and started consuming prior to death.
Unfortunately our main stream media paints the animal kingdom as a "Disney movie" and a majority of the population believes it.

I've found a few whitetail does like that in the east. One of the hind legs just misses clearing the top wire and that's it. Very sad indeed! C

There should be a requirement to remove fences that are no longer being used. I find this type of thing all too often.

I spent six months in north eastern Utah back in '94. My aunt owned 15 acres and I found 2 deer and one elk wrapped up in the fence surrounding her property. I was only 14 at the time, and must have come across 12+ dead elk and deer while hiking around the area (locals said the preceding winter had been really bad), but those poor buggers stuck in the fence really sucked.

Ridge, looks like a good place for a yote set up, I have no pitty for a yote.
