Bull Elk Fight

[fallen1817]

Warning: Pictures are somewhat gory, for lack of a better word.

Got this in an email form my cousin the other day. Pretty amazing.


This is a bull that was found on the Uinta County Youth Camps property, originally called in as a poaching. I have never seen such carnage, the dead bull had blood and chunks of fat and hide on his antlers leaving me to believe the victor may have hobbled off and died elsewhere. The ground was tore up in every direction for a 50 yards and it looked as if the dead bull had possibly fallen after a couple of small trees gave way. The bull had several gore wounds to his chest, abdomen, neck and head. He also had his entire brisket ripped open. The plan is to donate the antlers to the Youth Camp who has acquired a free European mount from a local taxidermist to hang in the camps main lodge. The mount will be accompanied by less bloody photos of scene and a write up about natural breeding selection and how this can occur for the kids to read.

[blackmamba]

thats crazy , never seen anything like it !!!

[Traps]

Makes me wonder if they were locked together with the victor locked sideways on the dead one. Looks like he might have gotten dragged by the victor as well. Who knows though?

I'd say those are teeth marks. May have got tangled up with a grizz or cougar and put up one hellava fight before secumming to his injuries.
