Title: WOW... just how tough are these animals? "Warning it's a little graphic"
Post by: ANDERWAGON on December 17, 2011, 05:21:30 AM: Got this in an email, some of you guys may have already seen it. All I can say is OUCH!

WOW.......just how tough are these animals?

2011 South Dakota bull elk taken during the current rifle season. The additional pictures show evidence of this bull previously being in a fight with another bull elk. The other elk broke his antler off in this elk’s head. The taxidermist is guessing that the broken antler had been imbedded at least one, if not two, years. The “extra” antler was found to be piercing the skull just behind the left eye of this elk but the surface had healed to the point of not being noticeable.

Post by: yelp on December 17, 2011, 08:40:54 AM: I killed a bull elk in 2001 and he was blind on the left eye..with the same injury. He had a huge hole in his eye socket and the injury created and infection and infected his eye socket and ear. I also found a dime size hole between his horns in skull plate. I can't imagine how much that hurt.

After that you kinda ask, what now? I ain't got no more than what he just took.... I'm guessin that is how the bull missing an antler felt. :chuckle:

Cool Pics :tup:
