Scoring moose measures also include points, width of palm, length of palm and circumference of beam at the smallest place. For moose, the most common measure of size is spread - which is the total width of the antlers. For example, the most common mature elk antlers with six points on both the left and right antlers are called 6圆. White-tailed deer are described by the total number of points but elk are counted by each side. Eight point deer are usually 3 or 4 year-old bucks but also aging bucks and bucks living in poor habitats. In white-tailed deer, eight points is the most common antler type. Additional attributes are measured by hunters to score an animal such as such as spread, main beam length and length of points. Points are tines branching off the main beam of the antler that measure at least 1 inch. You’ll often hear white-tailed bucks and bull elk described by their number of points.

But it’s unlikely you’ll see this, as white-tailed deer can remove all their velvet in as little as 24 hours. As velvet is skin, rubbing it off can look very gruesome.

This may be why female moose live longer than males. Cow moose use these energy to prepare for winter. RF C64BF2 A young male elk at the side of the road in Banff National Park.

In poor habitat, a buck’s bone density will decrease as his body will take the calcium and put it toward hardening antlers. BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEASURING TYPICAL YELLOWSTONE (AMERICAN) ELK.
