BREAKING NEWS!....
Upon further review of this year's Elk Toss, it has been determined that the top five finishers may be disqualified pending a full investigation. 

• Upon review of video replay, Nick was seen holding the elk with an illegal crotch grab.   This illegal touching is not permitted.
• Jason ate a Jerseytown Burger that MAY or MAY NOT have had bovine steroids in it, which violates our strict anti-doping policy.
• BJ took performance enhancing amounts of Lager before the toss, which also violates our anti-doping policy.
• Todd wore purple-shaded sun-glasses which made for an unfair advantage in terms of a reduction in UV light entering his eyes.
• Mike's family owned an Elk Farm in Washingtonville in the 1800s which had allegations of Elk fondling. 

Until the investigation is complete, we will have to consider the 6th place finisher as the champion.

So once again, for the 75th year in a row, the Elk Toss Champion is Franz Klingerman!  Congratulations Franz!
