2008 moose battle scares
« on: November 17, 2008, 05:51:16 AM »
How beat up was your bull.
Mine was bruised all over his back and shoulders, you could see it when I caped him out. He had large scraps in his hide with out hair. He was blind in his left eye, took a horn, not this year but year's past. Large hole in his ear. He had a hole in his left palm from another bulls horn and his tine tips were all broken or chipped. The teeth I sent in to WDFW were worn too.

Moose I shot last year had lots of battle scares from years gone by.  Nothing real fresh though.

Ridgerunners moose had scars all over his face, long scars on his side, a tore ear and the same ear had a hole in it the size of a quarter, and also a 4-5 inch crack in his horn and a few broken tips.

Those are some great pics Pa Ben. You gotta enjoy those fall colors and a great animal. The power of those animals is awesome. I think having a fighter is better then a lover... sorry Blessed!  ;)

My bull had couple of bare spots on his forhead (patches of missing hair in the photo) and 4 of his 8 points were chipped.
