Title: coweeman bull... hoofrot too.
Post by: BULLBLASTER on November 03, 2013, 10:34:56 PM: I killed this bull today just before 1pm after dogging a herd through the brush for half a mile. Finally the bull cleaded in the brush from the herd for a 160-180 head shot. Got him... second elk I have killed within 100 yds of here.

Very known area for hoof rot. The other I killed there had it too. I didn't notice he had it till I walked up on him. That hind quarter is just a bit smaller. Fat reserves look just like the two other bulls we killed but they didn't have rot.

Nice bull, Blaster. You do get it done, don't you? :tup:
I gove it my all and try to get it done! Filled every elk tag I've had since 2007. (May eat idaho tag thisyear) >:( but I do what I can...

The meat doesn't taste any different on elk with rot... still just as tasty! :drool:

Post by: Mudman on November 05, 2013, 10:09:13 PM: I think sometimes the animal is so sick an infection is present and could taint the meat. Most seem to be fine. :dunno:

Never took a pic. One rear hoof was basically gone up to the hair.
