Post by: bigbluff21 on October 02, 2013, 08:48:31 PM: Yeah I have no idea what it is or what happened. Yeah he was a real nice bull. Here's another pic of a smaller one. I watched them for awhile and the larger one with the spot appeared to walk fine and was acting normal so who knows

If you're talking about the pic I posted, I'm not sure where it's from. It was posted in the 2013 bulls thread.
I think it's a Blues bull.

I remember a doe one time that was shot in the head with an arrow and it healed over. She had it for at least a year, sticking out of her forehead...called her the unicorn deer.
