moose shrinkage

[lhrbull]

how much does the typical moose rack shrink between the 25 day and the 60 day mark

[Michelle_Nelson]

Depends on the size of the bull. 

[lhrbull]

after 26 days he is 201 3/8 gross and196 2/8 net

What was he green?

[Natures Way]

Never seen anything ever shrink that much.

Nice bull. I cant believe it went down that much unless you capped it and the cap curled, one good reason to leave on the skull or put something between the antlers to keep from curling.

[Michelle_Nelson]

He gave us the gross and net score.  Not how much it has shrank.  Re read his post.

I guess my question is will he shrink much more it is a euro mount from Canada so his skull has been boiled

[Michelle_Nelson]

It shouldn't.  If it has already been drying close to 30 days.

I've got a 2x4 wedged in there tight Mark so he won't loose much in the spread department

[Natures Way]

That will disqualify it for the record books if that matters to him.unless there rules have changed.  Misread earlier post thanks Michelle
