My 15 yr old daughter has already told me I better not shoot him while she's at school...she wants to be the one to shoot him. He's a pretty good buck for around here.
Got something stuck under his hide , stick , thorn ? It's a pus pocket around infection site . Our herd bull had a similar one , vet lanced it , and you wouldn't believe what came out of it . He washed it out with a garden hose and gave him some antibiotics. Maybe it will rupture ; but I don't want to see what comes out of it ! 😳🤢
I killed one a few years ago that apparently had one that had just ruptured, or had a puncture injury that got infected. The smell literally almost made me vomit. He smelled like he had been dead for a week in the middle of august. He went straight to the gut pit.
Wonder if he spooked when he smelled what came out when it did finally pop? Had to be pretty foul. Good thing is that is appears to be healing up well and within a few weeks it will be like it never happened.
