Seen a 7x1 Bull
« on: September 21, 2013, 12:39:21 PM »
Seen a 7x1 bull the other day when I was in the Teanaway unit. He was gettin his freak on chasing a cow around.
How does' that happen? There was a nice 7 point on one side, and a huge long spike on the other... From a past break or something? I tried to take some photos but they're garbage and not even worth posting. No detail.
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

Could be a genetic mutation, or an old injury. :twocents:

Smossy here is a bull that my son shot two years ago. When he was younger he hurt his antler on that side. We got to see him grow up as he would come in an out of the area.

This isn't correct. That bulls fork originates higher than 4" from the base. Not a spike.

That bull has been around for at least two possibly three years now looking like that.

Many years ago, one of the early Mill Creek hunts, a family friend turned photographed and turned down about 150 bulls before taking a massive bull on a foggy day near the end of his season. 7x1, 4 foot spike one side.  Not that unusual.

Like timber stalker stated that bull would not be a legal spike because of the fork originating way more than 4 inches above the skull cool looking rack none the less
