The BIG MOOSE @ Blue Jay !

[Steven B in PV]

John, the bigger moose sure could have been a bull but many won't shed until later in January.  In early December, well after the rut, my yard trail cams caught three different bulls with antlers intact.  Bulls that have shed antlers would have the antler bases or pedicles  still visible.  They protrude about 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the skull cap.  You might need binoculars, or use a camera to zoom in on the image.  It's a sure way to tell even young bull calves from cow calves.

There's been a cow moose in the yard lately but I'm pretty sure she's a yearling calf.  Big, but not quite as big as a mature cow.  Neighbors have reported a cow with two calves in the area, so that may be a possibility for a threesome group.
