The pics don’t show any evidence of what the problem is.

Post by: Ryan P on October 07, 2023, 06:28:09 PM: That's a weird one. Doesn't look that old. I would think if it was rut or hunter related you'd think you'd see something.

Post by: d_wilson on October 07, 2023, 06:37:21 PM: They watched it die. They are non hunters but said there was a “bullet hole” in its hind quarters.

Well until they dig a slug out who knows, possibly a puncture wound from the rut.

Post by: X-Force on October 08, 2023, 09:26:59 PM: If anyone lost a colockum bull… I found one too… judging by the age of the carcass it died around archery season. Yes it could have been a cougar or natural causes but it was in a popular area. Send me a pm with the location and how many points it had and I can send you a waypoint.

Post by: C-Money on October 09, 2023, 06:04:48 AM: If it was lost by a hunter, hopefully they can be reconnected with their trophy. Sure is a nice bull.

Post by: Angry Perch on October 09, 2023, 01:21:18 PM: What a weird thread. d_wilson posted that someone found a dying bull and asked if anybody lost one.
Where is all the negativity coming from?

Post by: 2MANY on October 09, 2023, 01:37:25 PM: Lost, suffering elk is pretty darn negative.

I do believe the OP had good intentions.

And if someone from the tribe lost it, maybe this will help find it. That's all that he's trying to do.

Remember the black bear videos used to close dog hunting?

Now the pics that animal right activists want to shut down hunting can be gotten off a hunting site. People can post but leave the pics out. :twocents:

Post by: polishstunner on October 10, 2023, 10:05:16 AM: I saw the wound. It could easily been a horn or muzzy round. It was in the gut. It was in the Mission unit as well.

Post by: 2MANY on October 10, 2023, 10:29:09 AM: Bummer.
Pictures of suffering animals are never good but suffering humans seems to be OK in today's world.
