I would love to go up there, just like every other outdoors man, What do your tags cost you as a resident?

I find it the other way here for the most part when hunting for sheds the bigger racks fall later. Also when I find a dropped antler if it was a big one the other antler would be around 30 yards from where I have found the big ones. Yes, up here alot of people try to find those antlers and they can be hard to find as moose like to wander alot and you might find a set right off or it could be over 10 miles away from where you think it could be..

moose sheds are easy to come by in our area,when they drop there's usually lots of snow in early december,so early spring is when they are easiest to get,you can find 20-30 antlers in an afternoon. they're not very hard to spot,near areas where they feed. mice do feed on them in our area,usually during the fall hunt we'll come across some that are mostly eaten.
