Dead Bull. No Ivories
« on: October 26, 2024, 04:46:07 PM »
& half of his incisors are missing. Curious if anyone here has ever harvested an old bull with similar tooth wear & decay, and had a approximate age on it.
Any educated guesses on age?

Also, with his beam length, I'd certainly expect to see more mass. He appears very old, but what do I know

Pics would definitely help.  I killed a bull in Wyoming that was aged at 10.5 and his ivories were flat with his gums, but he still had them.

Maybe someone took them already if you found him dead?
