Just wow, never see any buck or bull end up like that. I've seen pics of them hung up in trees, from fighting and hung up in fences but not upside down in mud.

How the heck did that bull not snap it's neck?!

I'm guessing it got tripped up jumping that short fence but the impact of something that big going down like that must have crunched some vertebrae.

Wow!

It's amazing just how big they can get when you let them live a decade. A USFWS biologist showed me some pics of a monster 6 pt bull that a cougar took down in Glacier National Park. The cat flipped it over and the bull buried its rack in a muddy hillside.

In any event, a rare thing. Cool that he got to keep the rack.
