Thanks everyone, super glad it all came full circle! I am very intrigued by elk and love taking older animals.. they are super tough. This bull was gored and had a huge puss ball on his lower chest. Did not smell pretty when i caped him out. Ive never aged one before but i know what an old bull looks like. Ive been comparing teeth on them every chance i get. My BIL just killed a great 300” bull and we guessed it to be 4-5 yrs old and it was significantly diff looking. (Sharper teeth/less wear)Any good dentists out there?! I plan on sending his lower jaw in. This is his top set.
I am very sorry to hear of your father's passing. An amazing bull that will mean a lot. It is nice having a great wife to support you as well. Congratulations.
