If one brow tine would've been 1/2 longer, would've been the new world record single shed moose antler. Still scored really good. Sold to a collector.

Anybody else got any pictures? I get just as big as big a rush out of finding a Florida whitetail shed as this one.

18 scorable points. I wish they measured the length of tines to include in the total measurement, but unfortunately, each tine over 1 inch longer only counts for 1 point towards the total score.

This is the best I have. Emmett caught his first bobcat about ten feet away from the antler a few days earlier. No telling how many times we walked past it before he saw it.

Not a big whitetail, but 1st time to the hunting land since November. And I found it from the Ranger.

On the way back from getting groceries, my wife spotted this one while I was drive down the tar at 65. I turned around and she got out and got it.

I do recognize the boat. They looked for sheds all the way down the Yukon, about 800 miles.

I wish the fish and game would let the population gradually come down rather than crashing it artificially with an inundated of non-residents with no antler restrictions. I'm not against non-residents coming out. But to go from 18 non-residents in 2018 harvesting a moose to 235 in 2025 in our unit, that is unsustainable. I wish they would impose antler size limits for non-residents. That alone would help balance the moose population. It doesn't need to be overpopulated and die off from lack of forage, but neither does it need to be needlessly decimated by overharvesting. When you find 1/3 to 1/2 as many sheds as you used to, that means there are 1/3 to half as many bulls. And most of those antlers are not from mature, breeding bulls. I am glad I saw the glory days out here, but I'm afraid they are over. Kind of like the Koyukuk. Had nonresident hunters last year not tagging out for the first time.
