Possible new #1 bison

But not mine!
this is one of the free ranging Bison from near Jackson Hole. A friend at work shot it last week. They guessed the live wieght near 2.500 lbs. There is 1,500 lbs of meat and bone hanging at the locker. the head and cape wieghed 280 lbs.
Note that the head seems small but that is due to the mass of the horns.
If they are correct on thier scoring it will be 4" larger then the old record.
Hopefully my tag will show some time in the next week.

That's a lot of burger. Please let us know what he ends up scoring.

Congrats to your buddy on one heck of a fine bull!

(See, Brett, I said "heck". Not bad for an old Sailor!)

Just out of curiosity, what did you buddy shoot him with?
