Hi all,

After 20 years of calfs every couple years and MANY skunked years we finnally got a bull tag ( last one we got was in 2001)

Basically noone has ever shot a bull moose since the camp added a moose hunt to the deer hunt .

Well the day was opener and only about 1hr in to the first drive I hear 4 shots and after lots of doubt of a missed bull we find him.

Great first bull and lots of happy hunters

We only hunt mon-wed ( i had to come back early for work ! ) so it was great to get the bull on the first morning !!

here are some pics...

what do you guys think of the growth on the side ? nasty thing !

What'd that thing look like when you were gutting him? I was gonna guess old injury, but it doesn't look right. What did the liver look like?
Or you could check with the fish cops.
Anyways, nice bull.
 
`i guided a bull with one of those on him. it was on his left hind quarter. the meat looked fine under the skin. the bull that i guided also had a lot of green puss around an extra point growing off the base of the antler. it was gross but cool. packing yours looks easyer than all the moose i packed out. nice going.
 
Nice bull.
But yuk that growth.I dont think I would eat that fella.Every time I was to take a bite I would think of the growth.
Good advice BBB on getting that checked out by MNR before eating it.
 
Well we shot a nice Bull this year and it had 2 of those grows on it. We were told it is either from a tick (or similiar bug) or a injury from fighting. no need to worry. Will taste just fine.

Congrats on your kill. Now you have a set of antlers for the camp wall.
 
The bull I got last year had a similar growth (on the hind quarter as well). My first thought when I got up to him and saw it was "How the heck did I hit him there?" It was of course not a bullet wound at all, just a kullywunker (insert what ever word you would like to use in place of kullywunker) and indeed the meat under it was just fine.
