Title: Yale odd ball bull lost?
Post by: Ghost Hunter on January 14, 2016, 10:13:17 PM: If someone lost one during the late season, I know where the bones are. Coyotes have been eating good.

I didn't notice any glaring foot issues. I was thinking bad shot placement since didn't see any shot damage. Nothing left but skeleton, most hide gone.

Gut shot during rifle season? :dunno:

Restricted firearm unit. Permit only during late season. Fifteen WM 3 pt. min. tags. About as close as it gets on the 3 point.
