Got it in an email. Looks like the Hebo Unit though. I'll do more research!

Re: They called him Lucky...
I can't stop looking at that photo. What a crazy event.. It's really an incredible find... As far as odds... I'm sure you would have better luck winning powerball than finding something like that again in your lifetime.

...and his brother Skippy.
I've had both these pics on my puter for a couple years. Never did hear where they were found.

Re: They called him Lucky...
I did find it funny when a guy was telling me that he had found an elk, crushed by a tree,"Last week" "You wanna see a pic of the big sucker".....goes back to his truck, and pulls out that picture hahahaha

Re: They called him Lucky...
Reminds me of a snake I found, ran over on a "closed" road. My partner asked "how unlucky do you have to be to be ran over on a road like this?"
