Post by: GoldTip on December 14, 2009, 08:00:10 AM: Is your buddy a Taxidermist out of Coolin? I heard about this bull one day while I was hunting the Selkirks for Moose this year. Another Idaho tag holder told me a Taxi from Coolin killed a bull with a horn lodged in it's head. Cool to see some pics.
