Goofy Antlered Bull

Postby Vanish » 08 30, 2012 •  [Post 1]

Check out the tops on this guy, from my trail cam. Not sure, but his left side looks like it might even have the required four points. I'd like to know what he'll look like next year.

Oh no doubt, its just the 4 way split on his one antler seems odd to me. Granted I haven't seen a whole ton of young bulls but all the other ones I have seen have more even looking branches rather than all at one spot.

I drew back on a bull like that last year except both sides looked like that bull's left side. He was pretty cool he had about 2 ft spikes that both "crowned" on the top with 3 to 4 points on the top of each. I decided to let him walk so I let off and went for the camera but he didn't hang around long enough for a photo shoot. I was kicking myself for about 24 hours that I didn't shoot but the next day I connected on a raghorn so I didn't feel too bad after that.
