Thanks for sharing, what was your guess for age when you killed it? Were the teeth worn down to nothing?

8 or 9.   The teeth looked old, but not ground down to nothing. I have a feeling he was a bigger bull back in his prime of 7 to 9.
Having said that, thrilled to have taken him.   No regrets  :tup:

The ivories on my 10.5 year old bull I killed in Wyoming were pretty flat, otherwise the teeth looked good.

Great Rossy, thanks for sharing. I've killed a half dozen bulls in that area. Was raised out there. My dad killed a bull when I was a kid that was same age. Massive bull and yes had to grind most of it. Brings me back to a different day seeing a bull taken from there. Congrats on a great bull.
