This is the skull from the cougar that I called in and shot in Feb. '10. I had this skull and a bear that belongs to Rufous cleaned up by my friend, Gary Haas, who owns Big Sky Beetle Works in Florence, MT recently. I noticed that his lower left eye lid was torn and that he had numerous fresh cuts in the hide on his head and elsewhere when I first looked him over. We also noticed a "bump" in the bone of his snout when we skinned the head, but had no idea of the bite marks in the bone.
I would like to have heard the cat fight that produced these bite marks....who won the fight ??
( can't get the pictures to post with this so will try to add in a minute)
