MK-M-GOBL Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) Well it's not really huge for a moose shed but still very respectable for the area I was in. A buddy of mine figured it to be probably a 50" bull. I’ve been hunting a big buck pretty hard the past several times out so today I wanted to explore another area but still staying close his home grounds. Found some great rubs and a few scrapes but the highlight of the day was this. I found it lying on a small island of hemlocks in the middle of a good size bog. I should head back with my hip boots and really start getting back into shed hunting. This area is some real sweet prime moose country. In my days of living in MD I wasn’t too bad of a shed hunter. Not nearly as good as my brother but I could hold my own. This makes my shed count up to 2 and is by far in better condition as my first moose shed.

Muleyman Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Congrats! we also have found moose sheds. We were pheasant hunting and we came across it so we thought there would be another one close by so we looked and we found another one it never matched but it was still pretty cool.

Stone Cold Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 That is great! Nice find! One day I will have one of my own! All I have are whitetail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-M-GOBL Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks everyone My whitetail collection was reduced to just sets and a couple singles from NH & VT. I'm seriously thinking of getting into the moose shed hunting though. I thought that piece missing from the tip was from fighting or rubbing but it turns out that moose will chew or eat on their owns sheds. It was made from another moose (maybe the same bull who dropped it) biting the antler which at first I didn't believe. Then after looking in our state antler and skull record book, there's another moose shed with the same exact bit taken out of it. Pretty weird huh? I plan on having it scored for the books so maybe this year I can get the next issues 3X. My archery bear from 2001, this year’s 200lb archery buck and now with this shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
