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

• Witnesses report that Mike Wilkinson was seen taking the elk into the outhouse before the competition.  Strange noises were reported.  This violates our strict policy against allowing elk to use toilets.
  
• It was later revealed that Jason Zerbe is still on probation and under investigation for the possible use of illegal bovine steroids which may or may not be present in the Jerseytown Burgers that he continues to eat with exceptional voracity.
• Chris M did not report his full last name on the sign-in sheet.  That is the most flagrant violation of DGS policy ever encountered in our 75 years.  We will hunt him down and find this mystery last name.
  

Until the investigation is complete, we will have to consider the 4th place finisher as the champion.

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