Yeah the blue was there in every pic. And the whole time we had it treed. You could tell he was close to blind.
Even once dead. We pulled back eyelids. To see very obvious cataracts. He was an old Tom. When I checked him in the warden said this was his last year. Not only the cataracts, but he had terrible pads(worn), and teeth busted. And instead hunting deer, he had started to go after cattle. From what I understand that's what they start doing when they get old and tired and deer are too tough to kill. If you all want to see pics of teeth,pads,etc. let me know. Not offended by comments. I'd think the same. If I wouldn't have seen him in tree. Thx
