First Shed Antler for 2013 ( a strange moose )

[moose2]

I found this moose shed yesterday at the road side in farm country. He must have dropped it going to or coming from a feeding area they were using. It was not broken in anyway and grew like this. It is one of the strangest I have found. It had a single spike that appears to be the front and the back is all crazy with a couple complete holes and a few lumps and bumps. It would have been a legal spike fork with medium bases.

I donated it to the HBC big game contest as a prize. Hopefully the winner will find a use for it.

It's often an indication of a hind foot injury/problem on the opposite side .....

Most likely caused by parasites. Neat find.

Most likely caused by parasites. Neat find.

I agree. Probably broke in early summer and the flys layed eggs in it. Pretty cool find!
