Found another dead head...bummer
« on: July 30, 2013, 08:52:29 PM »
Found this while working today.  It's the third branch bull I've found that was in fairly good  condition.  I wish it was the one I lost last year.  Makes me wonder how often it happens.

I tried to put it back together for fun...proved to myself that I don't know much about the leg bones

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

Someone lost a real trophy woodman.  Is that a true Rosie?

All nice bulls.  The bottom one looks like a good St. Helens rag horn spin off.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I find them at work too.  The ones with arrows in the bones are easy to solve, but I'd bet the majority have lead poisoning and not some natural cause.

If its on the west side of I-5 it a true Rosie.  If its on the east side of I-5 it's a cascade roosevelt.
