I learned early in life that my looks alone wouldn't cut it, so I developed a great sense of humor to reel them in. "lol" :thumbs up:

About 20 years ago, while hunting elk in my native Colorado, I saw what looked like a piece of bone or the tip of a horn sticking out of a creek bed. Got kind on curious and dug it out with a stick. It was a complete bison skull, soaking wet and packed with mud. I went back to camp and got a pack frame and packed it about 5 miles out. I don't know what it weighed, but I'd guess it was somewhere around 80-90 lbs.

After the season, I washed it off as best I could and noticed the horns looked a little different that a normal bison. Mind you, it ddn't have the horn sheaths, just the bone core. I made an appointment with a guy at the Denver Museum of Natural History to have it checked out. He told me it was a skull to one of the extinct types of bison known as the Mountain bison. These disappeared long before the white man ever set foot the continent. I offered it to the museum, but he stated they had several already. So, I kept it.

It's pretty cool finding something like that under those conditions. I've got it laying in the corner of the fireplace in my trophy room. Now I always wonder what's lying under the surface of a creek when I see one.

flags if you got a pic of the skull sure would like to see it. we have skulls all over our house cow,bulls,hogs and deer.
