Moose Antlers
|
| |
|
One lucky fellow.... snowshoeing to stay in shape for
the coming hunting months, he has found a new hobby, or obsession.
Nothing like photographing the bulls then picking up their antlers.
Here are some accounts of his shed experience!

January 2005
Fellow Alaska shed hunter ~ known as Shoot2kill (aka
Ryan)~
found this beauty on January 8, definitely a freshie! |
 |
January 13, 2005.... Good eyes! Its amazing how such a nice sized
antler can conceal itself. What an awesome find!
 |
 |
 |
 |
A Hanger!!!! I can only dream of finding one of these!
Ryan found this hanging out on February 6, 2005! |
 |
Shed hunting wouldn't be the same without a shed dog! Not that they
can all find antlers, but they definitely can sense that you're excited
when you find one! This antler was begging to be found!
 |
 |
|
Ryan and his wife went out to enjoy some
sunshine in late February! Nothing better than bringing some antler
home! This is an awesome little find! |
 |
 |
 |
|
After walking for only five minutes, he found this
beauty just peaking out from under the snow! I remember the first time
Ryan emailed me, he said something like, "wow, you guys go far for
your antlers, I find most of mine within a couple hundred yards of the
road!" Way to keep rubbing it in! He found this one on March 12,
2005. |

|
What a find!!! Amazing that such a huge antler can
nearly be completely covered with snow! This shed weighed 26 lbs and had
amazing brow tines. Too bad he couldn't find the match!!!
 |

 |
 |
Tine down! How often does that happen? When you think about it, most
antlers are dropped tine up! This was a good find; it sure gets harder
to find sheds with the brown undercover of the spring! |
| |
 |
May 1, 2005! A well preserved antler, still has its color.
Must of been buried in the snow! Notice...tine up! |
This is incredible!!!! An awesome drop tine antler found in what
looks like the early morning light, surrounded by the budding greens of
spring!

Shiras Moose Antlers |
|

These
are some amazing Shiras Moose sheds found by "Oneguymontana" on Saturday
January 7, 06!! These would be hard to miss! No matches found yet,
though. Success came in the form of 4 Shiras sheds and a whitetail! |

Canadian Moose Sheds |

 |
Some hard to find sheds found in May of 2005 by
NHshed!!!
With snow, the color of the antler sure blends into the background!! |
 |
|
Two sheds dropped tine down. Maybe the sheds drop
up-side-down over on the east coast!!! I haven't seen many sheds tine
down!!!
|
 |

"NHshed" was glad when the snow melted; I suppose you really couldn't
miss that big antler in the open, but the one in the trees...that takes
trained shed eyes! |
|
 |
Lucky, Lucky! Non-typical antlers are the best! This is
a double palmed moose shed! Something I'd love to find! |
 |
|
What a find! I wouldn't think to look in the water,
but I suppose that moose cross the ice in winter, so why not drop an
antler!
 |
 |
This is quite a haul! Somehow I've never made it out of the woods
with more than two antlers. It might be a good thing...these suckers get
heavy!

An antler below a rub....? Hardly ever happens in Alaska.
NHshed has
lots of these sheds below torn up trees! |
|
Another shed near a whopper rub!
 |
 |
 |
|
WOW!!! They sure grow some big moose in New Hampshire!
Awesome non-typical points!
 |
|
NHshed had to brag a little with this picture! Look at
this shed collection! |

2005-2006
The following photos are compliments of
BroweBoy from South Jersey! The photos pretty much speak for
themselves! |
|

-January
2, 2006-
The shed on the left was stuck good in the snow, ice freezing it in!
Makes the extraction all the more exciting! |
|

I
bet his heart was racing when he saw those whopper brow tines! He
found the match 5 feet away, but most of the antler was broken,
probably from fighting! |
|
I feel sorry for the moose that dropped this
antler....that had to hurt!
 |
It looks like there is a little blood splatter
around the base of the shed! I've followed many a blood trail and
have yet to find an antler nearby!

|
Gunther's first antler!!! Cheers to
shed dogs!
 |
|

I can't really say much about all these
sheds....they pretty much say it themselves! Awesome finds! I can't
believe how big the East grows their moose! Canadian moose carry
some serious antler! What a great find in the brook; well preserved
no less! |
