this bull was on our hayfield this afternoon miles from the nearest hill or canyon. it was about noon when i seen him 90+ degree heat no cover at all thought it was pretty neat site. so thought id share. he is a 5x6 and its in southern utah! anyway enjoy.. our horses sure were curios about him
o and this is antelope country usually 30-40 on the field


by the way thanks oddnut1 for the help on resizing the pics!

one of the horses this pics was a distance and in digital zoom so not to good

rest of the horses lookin on in curiosity

What a crazy coincidence this thread is!
I saw a herd of 33 cows, 3 bulls, in southern utah today in an alphalfa field lying under a watering pivot like they were showering.
There were also about 50+ antelope with them as well.

looks like he has gotten away from all the scouting and found where the grubb is. and is that antelope in the background, my gosh.
