  This is the first time I have seen a bear skull scored. This one made the state record book. |

At the fair, I learned that the Minnesota Official Measurers (MOM) has a listing for wolves. The senior measurer at the fair said that the only wolf skull he has measured was at our fair last year. A note is made as if the wolves are trapped or shot. The wolf skulls are measured using the bear box.
I thought he said B and C and P and Y have no measuring at present.

Two moose antler shed hunters came down from NE Mn. One antler is number 3 nontypical for Minnesota. The two scorers from MOM had two to score it as a panel since it was so large. I don’t have a picture of it.
These moose antler shed hunters are dedicated and have years of experience.

 The MOM scorer is using the bear box to score a bear skull. Same thing is used for wolf skulls. |

 I think these sheds are from the moose that he has three years of sheds. |

The district rep from the Minnesota Trappers Association was at the next table and he did have a wolf hide. It was legally registered and tagged.
He is a friend of mine.

Those are some impressive whitetails in the background. Just goes to show what Minnesota could be.

Those are some impressive whitetails in the background. Just goes to show what Minnesota could be. There are impressive buck mounts in just about every bar in MN that I've been in. There are great bucks in this state, the major complaint I think is that this state could equal or rival most others with just a bit of "favoritism" towards allowing bucks to get older than 1.5 years |

Several hunters I talked to and the senior scorer felt this should be a good year for antler growth if we don’t hit a severe drought.
There was no lag period for recovering from winter in most of our state. Locally, several bucks look well ahead of schedule.
