Was supposed to be a joke. I guess I have a lame sense of humor.

Sounds and looks like hoof rot...
Or a broken leg.

Was the leg flopping around broken or was he just not using it? Maybe his hoof is rotted off.

Probably got run ragged in the rut, lost lots of weight, broke his leg fighting and is now barely hanging on. If the guy that saw the bull saw a broken leg flopping around or something, I'm going with that. Hoof rot is possible, and maybe that's why he wasn't using the leg also I guess...Leg was flopping around. Wobbling off on 3 legs he wasn't the quickest elk. Most likely will end up dinner for some predator.

Sounds like a broken leg to me :tup: Either way, that guy is in some bad shape.

If his antler deformation is due to the broken leg, it would have to be an injury prior to this springs antler growth........

His legs broke. It's really amazing he's lasted so long. You can go see him about anytime you want to never leaves that little area he's in

Scott I saw that same bull way back on the 13 about 2 miles before the bridge. He looked to me that his hip was broke.Yea apparently he doesn't leave the area. And sounds like he's been like this for a few years now.
