Title: 2008 moose battle scares
Post by: PA BEN on November 17, 2008, 05:51:16 AM: How beat up was your bull.
Mine was bruised all over his back and shoulders, you could see it when I caped him out. He had large scraps in his hide with out hair. He was blind in his left eye, took a horn, not this year but year's past. Large hole in his ear. He had a hole in his left palm from another bulls horn and his tine tips were all broken or chipped. The teeth I sent in to WDFW were worn too.
