I dub thee Crooked Sticks!  This bull may not be a Monster, but I LOVE the character.  The G-3 on the right way up there. Little kicker. Trashhy Bull for sure. Im sorrry to say it, but I think ole crooked sticks is a dead man walking.  Another year on that Bull would be REAL interesting though!

The tallywhacker picture, tell that bull next time you see him that he will have to remove at least two ribs if he wants to reach it that way.

Well... The chill is certainly in the air.  Made it up to the trail head at Sauk Mountain on Sunday night. Blowin rain sideways and bloody cold!  This weather system should be the alarm clock to get those boys and gurls running around. Fall is just about here!

Good luck, and be safe.

Tonight at Hurn field a young bull came into the field bugling away and tried to steal some cows. The herd bull promptly ran him out of there.

Very cool pics...

Its amazing how at different angles that bull takes on different sizes for me... Couple pics I'm like, "dam...that is a great bull".. and others I'm like, "nice bull...but not big"....

Anyhow..he's a good one period...love the shot of him busting that group of spikes And that last running pic!!

What lens is that anyhow?
