Here's some pics of a buddy of mine w/ his Idaho moose from this year, the bull had a piece of horn lodged in his head above his right eye.

Holy crap.  That's gotta hurt...  On the other hand, it will make a cool mount...

Wonder when the taxidermist opens it up if it is all gangrene inside? Looks really nasty!!

Nice bull.  That poor bull it wasn't just the cows that had a "headache" during the rut.  Definitely vote on getting that mounted "as is"

Is your buddy a Taxidermist out of Coolin?  I heard about this bull one day while I was hunting the Selkirks for Moose this year.  Another Idaho tag holder told me a Taxi from Coolin killed a bull with a horn lodged in it's head.  Cool to see some pics.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
