I would tend to agree and it is a distinct possibility that ticks could be the culprit although if he were infested throughout the summer, which would be likely to make him lose that much weight, his rack would have likely suffered as well.Looks as if he has some sort of disease or tick infestation .. loss of extreme amounts of body weight and loss of all his hair in neck shoulder area points too ticks! seen it a lot moose. call the F&G and they will come put him out of his suffering and more than likely lab test him too see if its a spreadable disease or not. ive been wrong before ,,, shame too see it in my favorite critters
If I hadn't already punched my tag for that area, I would have put him down, tagged him, and turned the meat over to F&G. Called them and gave them the bulls location - hope they lessened his sufferingThe "No Trespassing" sign says he better stay right there on the ground.
