My son found the first one 5 feet off the side of the road. Girlfriend found the other side 10 yards up the hill from it. Little chewed on, but it made their day.

I had a couple bulls hanging around the house this winter but have not been lucky enough to find a paddle yet.  Nice finds

Here’s a matched set I found and mounted on a replica skull. Also have a large single.

Nice!

Here’s a front view. Not sure on what this bull would score. Outside measurement is around 45 or 46 as I recall.

Stevens County bull....found them 5 or 6 years ago.  I did a thread last year in the taxidermy forum to share how I repaired the rodent damage and did the mount.  Not sure if I'm more likely to catch the corona virus or draw a OIL Moose Tag...the odds right now are about the same....so I'm counting these sheds as my trophy.
