24.9 lbs together on the scale

Playing with the calculator...I realize sheds mean nothing to B&C

I'm by no means an authority on judging moose sheds, and might not have done it right...

I put them 8 inches apart thinking the pedicles might be about that, put at the angle that looked right,  and ran a tape.

These these are the numbers I plugged in.

Here’s a front view. Not sure on what this bull would score. Outside measurement is around 45 or 46 as I recall.
Where did you get the skull? Having hard time finding sharias or wyoming moose skull replica, and was it hard to mount? I see they're pegged

Here's the link to the thread I put up last year.

https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,235028.msg3137243.html#msg3137243

In short, it was harder to do than I thought it would be but very doable.  PM if you want to get into details.  We can tag up by phone.
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

Wow! That’s a nice one. Too bad you couldn’t find the other one. Everybody always told me the moose and big elk will lose them real close because it makes him lopsided and they will try to loose it. I believed it until I had a monster Seven point bull elk on my trail camera for two days packing only one antler. Then he lost it And somehow I didn’t find either one. Thinking the neighbor may have got them
