Moose Antler Size

  • A brow tine emerges from the first branch or brow palm on the main beam of a moose antler projecting forward; the brow palm is separated from the main palm by a wide bay; a tine originating in or after this bay is not a brow tine. (Figure 1)
  • To accurately identify and count brow tines, bulls must be viewed from the front; viewing from the side runs a risk of counting main palm points as brow tines. (Figure 1 and 2)
  • A point or tine is an antler projection at least one inch long, and longer than it is wide, with the width measured one inch or more from the tip. (Figure 3).
  • To better understand the spike-fork 50-inch antler restriction, purchase the video, "Is this Moose Legal?" from the Alaska Department of Fish & Game.
