    Beat the heat,ticks and green up looking to match the last fresh moose shed. We head drive and start walking in. I figured the match was down in the swampy part I didn't reach yet. So we are literally ten minutes and I see bone dog make his little circle and stop to scent check the air. I know he is on one and start following. About twenty yards later he stops to scent the air and decides to look at me. I said go get it bone dog. He takes off into the green brush as I follow. I finally watch as he comes to a stop sniffing the ground. I slowly walk up to him knowing what should be laying ahead. As I round the trees I see the match laying tines down. Pick it up and say let's go we done.
    We get about a mile down the road and something isn't sitting right with me about this shed. I decide to pull over and look at it again. I grab my phone and look at the pics of the previous one. Holy hell its the same side. U turn. Let's go back. Now there are two missing sides. Well. I look maybe an hour with no luck. Till next year now. Way to hot and ticks all over my body

    I was thinking the same thing, almost looks like the same moose from 2 different years. Great find anyway!

    It's hard to say cause the one on the left was right on the wheeler trail and has a super dark back side like it's fresh

    Oh and the bigger has a big fold in it. Unlike the smaller. So I'm pretty positive they both fresh. Too bad I started looking so late. Maybe I'll match em next year
