Unique Markings/Features on the Animals you've taken??

A great many years ago when there was an open season for does, I shot an old dry one
in a series of very steep canyons below a large ranch. It had badly damaged a front leg
a long time before I shot it...probably more than a year or more. From the knee down was
only hide containing the leg bones all broken into many pieces. There was absolutely no
sign of meat tissues. Throughout those steep canyons were deer trails one would think
only sheep and goats could travel. How that doe could survive for so long, including through
bitterly cold winters, especially considering there were both coyotes and cougar prowling the
area is baffling really. Of course when I saw that injury I carefully examined all her organs etc
for any sign of abnormality's but all was well, and although she wasn't fat, she was in good shape.

Not this past season, but two years ago I shot a 2 point mule deer on October 25 that was still in full velvet still. I thought it rather odd and it made for a neat euro mount.

Our hunting party killed a big bull moose a few years ago with 3 healed over broken ribs. The heal spots where the size of a big fist.

We think he was a fighter not a lover.

Never took this animal either but it seemed odd. This pic was taken on May 2 while glassing for bears. No velvet, just a hard-horned 4pt muley.

Great thread... no pictures to show but a short list of unique animals that i have seen over the years;

1. 4pt WT buck with no tail (missing at the rear rump)
2. 3x4 Elk (years ago) with a .30 cal bullet grown over in its skull between the pedicles
3. A unicorn WT buck with a 4" spike growing dead center of skull
4. BT buck with one nut

Meet Mr Bent Face.

Nose has a pretty good bend to the left and has molars that are extra long so they probably weren't matched up with the lower jaw.

He has shitty horn growth in his second and third years so the injury may have happened then. Who knows for sure??

[wideopenthrottle]

He might be able to count but probably not as high as a bear with all four legs and toes.

heheh...now that thar was funny
