Looks to me like it is one of those farm bulls that are in a small enclosure with nothing but the ground to rub on really, and as he got so old just got too lazy to polish and sharpen those points  :dunno: Photo does look a little off though !!

Looks real to me just a wide angle lens. Instead of long arming the photographer just "crowded" the bull. He is probally only about a foot away from the brow tines. One hell of a bull.

You tell me this guy is 5 foot nothin and I'll believe it's real!!!!

Ok I will tell you the guy holding these antlers is only 5 foot tall

That's great that your friend saw them Shane but you didn't and cause you say so we should believe you because???? They might be massive and huge ... but the picture doesn't look right to me. You gotta admit the pic doesn't look right!  :dunno: Until theres more proof I'm keeping my opinion and it's just a story kinda like some world record moose sheds we heard about.  :rolleyes:

Looks to me like basically a sort of "trick photgraphy".  If you look at the posting on Monster Muleys, you can see a second photo of this bull and in that photo the lense is basically touching the eyeguard of the left horn, really BLOWS everything UP when you take it that way.  I am sure Boneaddict or popshawnpaul could explain it better than I can.  Either way, it's one helluva bull.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

This is exactly what I am saying, something doesn't look right! ... Shane can't understand that I'm not saying it isn't a real bull or that it isn't big or massive it just doesn't look right! Now if it's so big why do you have to "Long Arm or take the pic from right off the eye gaurd?" Don't you do this to an animal that is not all that big and you are trying to portray it as larger? kills me when guy get a huge Grizzly bear and the sit 3 feet behind it's ass so that they look 2 ft tall!!!!! they look like retards!!!!

all you have to do is compare the head size of the hunter to the head of the critter.  Either there are lots of raisin-head hunters out there of they are just long-arming or sitting way behind.  All pointless.  Just be glad you tagged out...

I'm with M_ray on this one.  One of my pet peeves is long arming fish pictures.  Grrrrrrrr  YOU LOOK LIKE DAMNED FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!

But yes, there is something wrong with that pic.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

If I remember correctly, there was an article on this bull in Hunting Illustrated last fall.  I think it came from New Mexico or Arizona, possibly off of one of the rez.
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.
