Goofy deadhead bull.

fatrooster · Nov 3, 2009

My friend Bill met a guy up in the hills who had found a bull elk deadhead up in the hills but left it up on the mountain. Later that day Bill introduced me to this guy and I asked him if he minded me going and gettin' it. He didn't care but I didn't get it that day because they planned on hunting the area the next morning and I didn't want to stomp around in the area running the elk out of the country. So me and Bill went back a month later which was on Halloween day and found it here are some pictures.

Bill and Daisy glassing the area before we enter into it.

Daisy takin' a break.

Bill being goofy pretending to put the bull out of his misery. Daisy's just posing and lookin' purty. We are 10' off of the road which we could not park on due to a big mud hole so don't get your panties in a wad, ha ha.

A closer look at the Spook bull so named because it was Halloween day. It was pretty easy to find. We went to where the guy said it was. Daisy found the leg bones first and I told Bill that it was nearby. About two minutes later bill hollered out, "Bingo!" Daisy had a good time tearing up the spine that was still attached. After I took the spine off Daisy carried it around for awhile.

Daisy hung her head over the side of the truck all the way home.
Hope you enjoyed the show, fatrooster.

I forgot to mention that the bull had broken off his third and fifth on the left side and broke off I don't know how much of the big spike on the right side. This bull was a fighter. I guess he had to be since he had such an ugly rack. The ugly duckling of bulls. fatrooster.

Thats a cool find Drew. I'm glad you to go get it. I have two friends that each killed bulls last year, one on the general UT, and one LE, that had messed up skull pedecals. As soon as I get good pics of the gen bull, I'll post them.
