I have read that when there is tramatic antler disfiguerment it is usualy due to an injury just before or during antler growth. Is this True or Not ?? Maybe that big guy liked to hang out around the hiway and this was his last time.
Neat bull, too bad he died that way apparently. I've always thought it was kin of interesting how even a bull as messed up as this one still has some typical form in his eyeguards and towards the end of the main beam(s?) on the messed up side.
I've seen bulls with damaged pedicals before but this guy appears to have three pedicals rather than a split pedical. They used to have a cull hunt on the Havasupai Reservation each year to cull disfigured bulls like this guy. Don't know if they still do or not.
