Beat Up Bull

[T-Rip]

I wonder what happened to this guy? I hope to get a pic of the one that caused this damage.







Do you think he'll make and will that side be back next year? Share your thoughts-

[HardCorpsHuntr]

ouch!

Bet Antlerking has already picked up that other side

[canyelk48]

Wow, bet that left him with quite a headache!

[antlerman]

He might look something like this bull I took during general archery in 2005.  My first animal with a sharp stick.

What a warrior, it amazes me how tough they are.  I killed a bull a few years ago in the late archery season that was very similar to that one but his horn was hanging straight down toward the ground.  Upon skinning out the head, the pedestal that the horn attaches too was broken completely off where it joined the skull.  The only thing holding the horn and the piece of broken skull was the hide.  He was in pretty good shape health wise, maybe a little skinnier than normal.  I wondered what that bull would have looked like the next year.  Antlerman did you skin out the head on that bull to see what he had going on with that deformed horn?

[boneaddict]

Cnsidering how that antler is attached to the skull which is attached to the brain.  OUCH!

[antlerman]

He was very healthy and had the biggest body of an elk that I have been around.  One of the hind quarters was 105 pounds.  His skull was deformed and I bet he had a hell of a headache.  The antler was attached to his head and he must have broke it off trying to fight another bull or rubbing on a tree.  The antler was flopping on the side of his head and creating a sore area on the side of his head.  To make the story short, he came in on one cow and I took him at 10 yards.  He probably did not have much of a chance competing with other bulls for the cows.  I sent the teeth in to have him aged, and they put him at 7 years old.

yeah his eye looks messed up for sure. i have a buddy who found a spike (on the westside) that fell down a hill and caught its horn in the hill and he said it looked like you cut the top of it head off.

[BIGMIKE]

still legal, soot 'em dude.

[grundy53]

One year my dad killed a big rosie that had one of his antlers broken off right above his eyegaurds.... that's gotta hurt.

You might be able to find the other horn close to that camera looks like a fresh wound that happened in close proximaty to the trail cam

[Dan-o]

Wow, I would love ot have watched that fight.     I'm betting he'll be ok.
