Very cool! I love seeing things like this that I would otherwise never get to see.

Wow! I knew that they shed them, but surprised it was synchronized and happened without rubbing them against a tree or something.

Anthropomorphising here, so I’m going with it’s like taking an uncomfortable bra off at the end of a very.long.day. (Yes, I know, bull moose…)
That little sproing of joy after they drop!

It’s the third video she shares where she mounts the antlers that things start to get a little real.

Fresh antlers are a delicacy if you’re a porcupine!

Holy Cow, or should I say Holy Bull! Watching that moose bolt after the rack fell off was crazy cool and rarer than seeing hen’s teeth. Thanks for sharing!!! ^____^
LOL, made me think of David Sedaris talking about a fan at one of his book readings that said “I put my bra back on to see you, and I never do that!”

Yep, lots of critters use them for some calcium in their diets. I found a shed in the neighbors that squirrels and maybe nice nibbled on.
I know in some areas they don’t allow you to take sheds for this reason.
