Butch died acouple weeks ago after living 13 years. His last set of antlers were shed March 1st. They scored 400 and change. Even with plenty of good food and no hard battles fighting with other bulls during the rut, he still lived only to be 13 yrs old. Some cows have been known to live 20 plus years.
What do you think the ave life expectancy is for non captive bulls, who have to find food during the winter, go through deep snows at times, being chased by hunters for 4-5 months. being chased by predators, often harrassed by shed hunters, etc???
I'm sure it is lower where wolves are constantly harrassing. Just wondering your thoughts? Lets see some research stats as well. Are we really having many bulls die of old age in limited entry units? Just a friendly discussion boys.
