I’m not sure how a drone would help a moose shed its antlers. I didn’t even know moose had the capability to operate drones.

That moose didn’t use a drone at all.

“Woodsman uses drone to capture rare footage of bull moose shedding antlers” would have been better phrasing.

Downdraft from that drone blew the antlers off that poor moose.

It’s like they crossed an Attenborough doc with a wig snatch compilation video and got Richardson from Deadwood to narrate

It’s kind of scary the way such big structures just suddenly fall off the moose, however it’s completely natural.
I like how he dashes away from the scene as if he’s embarrassed.

Depending on how stubborn the antlers are you either connect the drone to the antler with string and then use the drone to tug at the antler; or you apply one of the drone’s propellers to the base of the antler and hope that what starts getting chipped off is antler rather than skull. It’s more of an art than a science.
