Here's a 48" moose my brother shot last fall. The 48" was less than it would have been, had 2 counters and a bit of paddle on the left side not been broken off. they figured maybe 54", not too bad for that area. Taylor has the head mounted over his piano in the living room. I didn't think it would fit - actually imho, it doesn't. HA!

Here's the young Swiss taxidermist working on it, in camp. She also shot a moose. You can better see the left side broken out of the antler. This is common in this area - even the 2 and 3 year olds break off antlers - usually completely on the young ones. Closer to town here, the youngsters don't fight - just run away.
