Best three sheds from our first boat trip of the year. One is 27 pounds, another is 25, the last 23. Guess which one is the heaviest.

I know nothing about moose antlers, but I agree. Not as wide as the others, but looks thicker to me.

The one on the left. It is browner, probably fresher. The other 2 look a bit bleached out, this drier and lighter.

Wow the amount of protein it takes in a season to grow that much antler and keep over 1,000 lbs. healthy is amazing to me. Sure are a lot of nutrients in the wild if you have the system for it.

You got out in a boat? Isn't it still jammed up in Russian?
The one on the right is the heavier one.

The one on the left. It's paddle was almost an inch and a half thick along the inside. Crazy the mass it had. Long, thick tines as well. I wish they would include the length of each tine in the score of moose antlers. The other two antlers will score better, in spite of their stubby tines. The other two were just not as thick over all, less mass.

One reason it's darker is it's been rubbing on burned trees from that huge fire we had a few years ago, found it in a burned area. Got character. Yukon ice not moving yet, but the ice on the Yukon has lifted enough for the tributaries ice to break up and go out. Learned a lot about antlers and scoring them from family trapperman.com. wealth of knowledge he has.

The top tines were especially massive on the taller, skinnier paddled antler, unusual: the top tines are most often small and thin, not unusual to see them rubbed off completely on the dominant side antler, bulls will be right or left antlered like we are right or left handed. Some are ambidextrous antlered.
