ANTLERS:
Bulls will drop their antlers after the breeding season is complete, typically in December but have been known to carry them well into late February. Each spring, moose will re-grow their antlers with a more impressive set then the year before as the bull matures and eventually around the age of 11 start to decline and become less impressive with age and start to lose body/muscle mass also.
In the next several days http://www.swampdonkeyadventures.com/ will be giving you a series of facts that you may or may not already know about moose. Please feel free to comment on any and all blogs.
How many bull moose do you think there are in the state of New Hampshire? Do their antlers decompose or a lot of them found?
ReplyDeleteNH has an estimated Moose population of between 5000 and 6000 moose, of those, probably just under half are bulls.
