Cougar Fight
« on: June 22, 2010, 08:00:19 PM »
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)
It never changes, but it is always different.

Ouch Gramps!  Looks like that guy got his butt kicked...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Wouldn't surprise me if the broken nose came from a cow elk hoof.  They've got plenty of power and plenty of reason to be kicking.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

I saw the skull in person and it does look like it had been bitten there. A neat trophy for sure.
