Big Tub Report post Posted August 13 There is no reason to jump to those conclusions. If the WM thought there was foul play, he would not have released the bull. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The interesting part about the blunt force trauma is the antlers were in perfect condition and the closest road is .75 mile away! There were no skint marks on the nose! Pretty mysterious! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have done a ton of thinkin about the blunt force trauma because the only indicator upon initial look was the bubble blood coming out of the eye and I thought......maybe crows already pecked enough to cause that. Now remembering back on my days growing up on a farm I remember bunny bashing and I thought...................what if????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 13 My wife and I always wonder how long an animal has been dead. There are always so many different factors that come into play. This is a picture of the same bull 4 days later. I was shocked!!! I am assuming that it got picked so hard and fast because it was already split open and easy pickings............. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
