moose shed?

[wayner]

not much of a avid shed hunter so I thought you guys would know when moose start shedding their antlers?

Saw good bull about a week ago and also a paddelhead, but I'd say better get ready.

I am trying to remember who shot the moose in late Oct (?) that had dropped, or was it Nov. ?

I will see a few hit the ground in mid to late december, but most will be in january. oct/nov would be rutting moose, was it a drop of broke off?

I checked and it actually was shot on the last day of the season, Nov. 30th (?) http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,12363.285.html picture Pg 30

I believe a few are already dropping now.

They have started now.  Most moose will be shed by the 1st week of January.   They are the first deer to shed in our region.

I have seen wt sheds already!

I have seen a few whiteys missing sides already.. seen moose in prior years shed in November

[Shed Stud]

Id like to see these wt sheds. Pretty early? Old or sick buck? I have known of some fresh sheds last week of december but its still real close to the end of the rut for any healthy buck to loose his defence.

I can take you to a place where a buck sheds every year a week before thanksgiving.  A wt and he is very big.

A bell curve always starts somewhere.  Just like seeing a healthy buck still packing in May.  Happens, just isn't average. 

What I am interested in proving or finding out........some say animals shed almost the exact time every year (themselves I am talking) yet some say the bigger the buck/bull the earlier they shed.    Can't really have it both ways.    I've kinda seen it both so maybe again there is no hard fast reasoning behind it.

I saw my local bulls packin horn still this weekend......8 of them
