Old bull, ten metres, 570 grain Hydros.

Looks like he's been through a fence Ben ?
 
I have seen scars like that on old unmarked bulls from a station in the territory that is only 2 paddocks.
trying to drive these cattle on horseback proved futile as they would just stand and shake, then charge you.
and they had horns.
we ended up sending the dogs around the other side of them, and they chased the dogs up into the yards at the now defunct Adelaide abattoirs.
the point is bovines do not cut or scar easily, and must sustain something pretty serious to cause this.
yet again you share an interesting observance ben.

Cheers! My guess is he lost his footing in a fight and got caned. I’ve seen a lot of barbed wire scratches on buffalo and they’re similar to how our legs get scratched by the grass.

Yikes!
 
when you think about it, his last few days were not an all out success.

BenKK, how many buff does that make for you this year?

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!
