Odd Little 5x7 but I'll Take it - Added European Pic 11-2-15 to Original Post

After a 2 yr drought and 100's of miles, WA Muzzleloader and OR Bow, I filled my tag with this small 5x7 (8 if you count a 2" kicker). Steaks on the table, canned meat, summer sausage, and jerky; tenderloins tonight!
The non-typical side has several rounded tines and appears to have a couple strands of velvet (leathery strips) hanging off of 2 of the tines. The typical side is a small 5.
Good luck to those who still have tags to fill.

I love the color and the character of that bull. I haven't mounted a bull yet and I've got a bunch of branched anlters in my garage but I would definitely put that one on the wall.

Really, really like atypical antlers, without doubt that bull would get a shoulder mount for my wall.

Cool bull, looks like a 6X1X6? One inch or better is a point right?

Thanks for all the great comments.
Definitely happy with him... all harvests are a bonus! Didn't cape him but plan on doing a European mount and he'll hang in my shop.

Very cool. It looks like he got into some burn area with those almost black antlers. VERY cool. Congrats and thank you for sharing.

We called in a bull to about 80yds or so that was similar looking about 6 years ago but it was way south. Congrats!
