Title: 3 Footed Hancock Bull
Post by: Branden on June 17, 2009, 10:52:36 PM: He only had 3 hooves. The last year I saw the bull he was a 6X6, was missing his thirds, had super good mass and pretty decent tine length up top. He hung on the 602 for years. Kinda looked like moose paddles up top.

I think he died that year cause I have not seen him since. He was a whopper bull body wise and was often hard to find during the rut.
