We spent this past week up at our cabin. I left the head of the moose I took last fall in the bush to let nature clean it up. Finally have it home. It's not a big rack by any means (48" wide) but it has a few interesting features so I'm going to mount it anyway. Got a nice drop tine on one side with the start of another on the other side. It'll make a nice addition to the living room wall.

How much meat did you get out of it?
Mike - the moose was split between hunters and we ended up with 1/4 of the meat - about the same amount as from a large deer.
Guessing that the moose was about 800 lbs live weight.

Big as to what ? it be way bigger than any deer i have killed so it looks big to me. Plus 4 times the weight of a big deer thats a good plus. Rack looks really good

At 48" he's average for our area. The rack should have more "plate" for the age of the moose but it's a bit gangly. I also have both lower jaw bones with a complete set of teeth so I was able to place his age at 3 1/2 years. He still had a bit of growing to do.
