Broken bull

Recommended Posts

First post here for me I think. My brother shot this nice bull in six B this week. I thought I'd share with you guys. 

 

Also, long shot I know, but I will ask anyway. If someone has the broken antler, I would compensate you to be able to get it reunited with the rest of the rack. 

 

My brother is driving home now, and knows nothing about this. I thought it wouldnbe cool to give to him for Christmas.

 

I actually passed a broken bull in Nevada in 2015. My brother later found the broken antler a few miles away. We were able to find the bull againbthe next evening, and my taxi put it back together.

I don't have any other pics of his bull yet. The intact antler had no 3rd, but as you can see the broken antler has a 3rd. The intact antler would be a 7pt if it had a 3rd.

Long shot is an understatement.. you’re better off finding a taxidermist who’s willing to try repairing it with a different antler

If you by chance have ilany pics of the bull before he lost it that could help. Congrats to your bro.

No unbroken pics of the bull. I know the chances are very bad at getting it, but the chance was zero if I didn't ask. 

He did not make a scouting trip this year. We are from Oregon, so a scouting trip is a big committment.

3 of us had the same tag last year. My brother and his two boys drew again this year. I made a scouting trip last year and I actually saw the bull I ended up killing.

Nice job! Whereabouts in Oregon? I went on an elk hunt in Mitchell, Oregon this year. Pretty neat country.

Yes, that is their camp. My nephew shot his bull Friday.

We live in the Cascade foothills in Western Oregon. 

 

Those are AZ bulls.

It seems the out of staters have pretty good luck with the late tag draw odds. Was  on a hunt in unit 8 a few years ago and ran into a non resident who had also drawn the hunt two years in a row.

We had 6 points apiece last year. They had a 5 point avaerage this year. Not much luck involved.
