He had a beautiful coat. Too bad it couldn't have been saved and tanned. It wasn't beautiful now. A lot of spots rubbed to leather on the hips and shoulders, from being crippled and struggling to get up and down....

Kinda sad Don. Glad you folks gave him a good life.

I don’t know much at all about steers but that one sure is a fine looking animal….. sorry for the loss.
Curious, how wide are those horns? 5 feet?
That young one looks pretty good also!

Latched onto a hind leg and drug the carcass to the coyote feeding alkali flat. Don: Hey how about an invitation for me and my varmint gun and a spotlight to spend some quality time at the coyote feeding station? Say a couple hours after the sun goes down. I bring my dying rabbit call. KC
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

Whack a few coyotes off him, Don. That's a good send off. LOL. KC beat me but 40 seconds.

Sorry about the old boy Hunts. I try not to but sometimes get attached to some of the stock that's around for a while.
Looks like Kurt has his work cut out for him on that skull!

Cool ornament. Ever strapped one to the front a caddy convertible? Just that Yeah, do that and get yourself a superfly velvet suit, then drive down to Downtown and see what happens!

The new one: Is that a ready made bullseye?, or did some kid try to kill him with a pellet gun?
