Post by: muledude on May 19, 2008, 09:27:05 PM: Very nice finds. I like to be sympathetic for the bull, but I have seen so many winterkills this year that I've gotten kind of numb to it .. It take's alot of determination to find sheds this late..Most place's have been pounded buy now.Great Job.. :tup: :tup:

Amazed the heck out of me. So......I would call them and get permission, document the hell out of who I talked to and when with a tape recorder, and then go get it.

Post by: boneaddict on May 20, 2008, 06:17:36 AM: Kind of what I told her. She called to talk to my wife about it and I was like YIKES. Don't pick it up. She asked what to do, so I said call them, they'll probably ask you to go get it for THEM. She called back later and said she could have it. I'm like get it in writing.

Title: Re: IT'S HOT
Post by: boneaddict on May 20, 2008, 06:27:41 AM: I have no idea. I've never had the balls to bring one home. This is the third ram skull that I know of that was found this year. I assume the others came home as well, but I don't know that. As far as I know they didn't even ask to see it. I was going to volunteer to clean it up for her, but I don't think I want to touch the thing.

Post by: M_ray on May 20, 2008, 09:12:59 AM: I'd call and ask them and if they didn't agree to let me have it I'd tell them to go find it yourself! ... then I'd most likley go get it in the dark ... ah ... ah ... that is with Pope's phone number in my pocket! ;)

Post by: PacificNWhunter on May 21, 2008, 07:15:04 PM: Too bad that bull did not make it through the winter...Yeah it was hot here on the west side, went out hiking Saturday near the pass and it was almost 85 up there. The rivers are really getting big.
