We're not sure who the photographer was.  These photos were sent to me via email and we thought they were of interest to all. When I find out who the photographer was I will post the name here so credit can be given to them.

It is me, my brother and a friend pictured in the "Wallow of Death" pictures featured on the website. I heard about this bull stuck in a wallow off www.Bowsite.com back in September of 2000. The guy who first found him emailed me directions from New York state. The bull was on national forest land outside Fraser, Colorado. I sent my brother who lives in Winter Park on a search and recover mission and he found the bull on the second trip. Unfortunately a bear was guarding the carcass and he couldn't pull it out with only two of them. I drove up from Denver with a buddy and four of us pulled the bull out.

He was uninjured as far as I could tell. No bullet or arrow holes. I boiled the skull and found a six-inch pine stick shoved way up in his sinus cavity. Other than that it's a mystery on how or why he died. My guess is he got exhausted and drowns — that hole was DEEEEEEP.

Right now the skull is hanging on the front of my house.

Now you know the rest of the story.
