I found this in my email in box a day or so ago. Apparently, Stickers is quite the rage. He’s none too camera shy. Check out the story at the Lone Star Outdoor News and then come back to see all the photos of this magnificent animal.

Two Bull Elk Antler Locked
I received this email recently. Describes a pretty interesting day at the office.
Here is how my day started yesterday ( 11-29-2007)
Got a call that 2 bull elk were locked up and one was dead the other still alive. The bulls were in a field about 15 miles Northeast of Monticello.
When I got there I actually found 2 bulls locked antlers. I thought this only happened in other areas… J. and I were going to tranquilize the bull and saw antlers. One problem… we did not have enough of the drugs to do a good job. So we walked out there and sawed the one point off of the dead bulls right antler and then we had to saw the main beam of the left antler to get the other bull free. The whale tail was over the bulls eyes, lodged between the eye guards. When we cut it free the bull stood there for awhile catching its breath with the piece of the antler still in it’s antlers. When it took off the piece of antler came out…
WOW! this was for sure one of the most memorable days. Enjoy the pics.

Spiked Mule Deer
You know what they say about cemeteries? Everyone’s just dying to get in.
The grass may look greener on the other side but caution should be
taken before making the leap! This nine point mule deer is a prime example.Here’s a greate example of the branching of the horns that identify the deer as a mule deer and not a whitetail deer. The coat coloration is darker, too, espescially in the area of the snout.
