When do moose usually start shedding their velvet? Season starts here in Idaho Aug. 30 and Im not interested in a velvet antlered moose.

In Northern BC they are usually done shedding by the first week in September.....

Popped a bull last year on Sept. 14 he was in full velvet.Must of been lazy?

Killed mine I think on Oct 1 and he too was lazy.....................

Usually start beatin' their heads against the trees in preparation for the rut. It proves to the cows that they are "horn"y. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
