    Can't sell antlers attached to the skull plate
    Need a lawyer to read all the rules

    ADFG "use of game":
    http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/a...f58EF7097287937370804D8032634D0F6/general.pdf

    Game taken under a hunting license MAY NOT
    be used for the following purposes:

    (exceptions noted)

    Buying or selling of game meat, EXCEPT hares.

    Buying, selling, or bartering of any part of a bear gall bladder.

    Buying or selling of any part of a brown/grizzly bear,

    EXCEPT:

    -- an article of handicraft made from the fur of a bear. (See defini- tion of handicraft, page 34).

    -- brown bears taken in a brown bear control area with a control permit, where ADF&G will issue permits allowing permittees to sell untanned hides (with claws attached) and skulls, after sealing.

    Buying or selling of any unsealed beaver (EXCEPT in Units 12, 18-26), lynx, wolf, or wolverine pelt.

    Buying or selling of any big game animal skulls, (EXCEPT black bear, wolf, and wolverine, taken under a hunting license).

    Buying, selling, or bartering horns or antlers, UNLESS they have been naturally shed or have been completely removed from any part of the skull.

    However, in Unit 23, you MAY NOT remove caribou antlers from the skull and buy, sell or barter them, UNLESS they have been transformed into a handicraft (see definition, page 34). In Unit 23, you may buy, sell, or barter naturally shed, unmodi- fied caribou antlers, AS LONG AS the pedicel is still attached to the antler.

    In Unit 23, you may remove caribou antlers from the skull for your own use, but you MAY NOT sell them before they are transformed into a handicraft.
    Buying, selling, bartering, advertising, or otherwise offering for sale or barter a big game trophy, including any trophy made from any part of a big game animal.

    Was hard to roll over, took 2 of us to get him on his back so wee could field dress/skin & 1/4
    wet hide has to be near 200 lbs
    Big ones get to 1500

    Wikipedia
    "Male Alaska moose can stand over 2.1 m (6.9 ft) at the shoulder, and weigh over 634.5 kg (1,399 lb). The antlers on average have a span of 1.8 m (5.9 ft). Female Alaska moose stand on average 1.8 m (5.9 ft) at the shoulder and can weigh close to 478 kg (1,054 lb).[1] The largest Alaska moose was shot in western Yukon in September 1897; it weighed 820 kg (1,808 lb), and was 2.33 m (7.6 ft) tall at the shoulder.[2] Alaska moose with the Chukotka moose, matches the extinct Irish elk as the largest deer of all time."
