Life Story of the Amazing Drop Tine Giant Bull Moose
Welcome to three days of Drop Tine! We have been working on this story for months. I’ll begin by saying how proud I am of Libby for her production and creativity on this video. We have recently upped our game transitioning to a professional video editing software called Davinci. It just makes me think back to 2017 the first time I hit “record” on the back of my Nikon D850 and took that shaky amateur video of Grumpy pulling that hissy fit that got him his name. What a journey!
DROP TINE! This guy has been a ghost to us. Although we’ll touch on this in the video too, I’d like to talk about it here. In 8 years we have only spotted this animal a few times. We have spent so much time searching for him. None of the searching was frustrating, instead it was magical. This is a very unusual bull with sets of antlers each year that would delight any moose enthusiast. As for favorites, mine are Grumpy, Left Hook and this guy and to be honest I’m not sure which order they come in at…and that’s okay!
With only a few sightings in 8 years that means Drop Tine has patterns that we never figured out. For me, I’ve enjoyed searching for him all those years as well as the excitement the few times we did find him. It’s been a unique experience with Drop Tine. We’ll continue with two more DT posts Thursday and Friday.

WOW! Not only the uniqueness of the drop tine, but his antler elevation is unreal! Sure hope you get to see him again.
So true, WDF, he has very reachy tines doesn't he? Straight up. we would LOVE to see this magnificent boy again!
Love the calm, chilling, chewing with the steam rising. Awesome dry rack. Rick's enthusiasm is wonderful.
Very cool! I'm still showing a lot of your videos to my grade 2 and 3 classes. They love them as I do.
Thanks for that, bloody! That's so cool that you're showing these to the youngsters! We love it! (And they're rated G, so it's safe!)
What an awesome video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for that HogMan, and thanks for watching!
Hello Mr and Mrs Moose Man 👋.
Shrimp toast started out brave 😳!
Wow ,he is the definition of Majestic🎉.
Isn't it amazing how the new rack changes !
I'm sorry you haven't seen these two again,maybe ,just maybe you will😊.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Hey Jo Jo! Yes, this bull is amazing and majestic is the word. I'm hoping like a child, that he returns to visit us one more time. Stay hunkered down, we have wind today! 🙂🌬and even some snow!❄🌨🏔
Sounds like DT can put the disappearing act on you pretty well! He's a nice looking bull!
He leaves and doesn't return, Neil. We should have named him Houdini!
Beautiful bull.
He is. And I don't believe he's the one who perished with Grumpy.
Obrigada por compartilhar...nós fãs de alce agradecemos...

The more valuable these meetings are! Hopefully he won't be so elusive this year!😊🤞🫎🤎❤️
What age do moose start to decline in antler growth
@@KarenWenzler Hello, Karen! The period of most intensive growth of antlers in moose occurs approximately from 3 to 9 years of age. After this, antler growth may slow down or stop completely. It depends on many factors - nutrition, genetics, etc. In no case can the exact age be determined by the antlers, since after five years the growth of the tines may vary. But, in any case, like a big bell on the neck, large, properly growing antlers are an indicator of excellent health!💪🫎🤎
DROP TINE come out come out wherever you are!!!
🦗🦗
Wouldn't it be amazing if he did show up again? Wow! Rick would faint! 🤣
He really has some unique antlers besides the drop tines. They look higher??? What a day to see all of those bulls together. Wow! Do you have any idea how old Drop Tine would be?? He really is a an awesome looking bull. I hope you see him again. He is very elusive, isn't he?? ❤❤🫎🫎
His antlers are like Boris' in that they go out and then straight up. Only in DT's case they do get a little wonky. But yes, Tricia, they are reachy! He's so elusive. He doesn't rut in the valley and with so much vastness to the wilderness there...who knows where he and some of these bulls end up. I'd love to see him again though. His age...wow, let's say he was 6 or 7 in 17 he'd be something like 13 this year. And that's getting up there for sure. Still it's possible he's alive. It would be Rick's best happy dance ever!❤💚💙💜💛🧡
I hope you see him. He is getting up there but it still is possible. I don't understand how they can survive these harsh winters??
Great Opener, ❤️🐂❤️ He is Gorgeous, 😍...Oh L👀k, it's Rick 👴...Hi Rick, 😂... Great Photo from Randy Armstrong 📸...Wow, 2:31 🌲⛰️🌲 3:06, Beautiful &...3:11 22, DT & MisMatch 4:01 L❤️ve it....Hi Swagger, L👀k at all that Beauty, everyone bedded down, 🥰...sad ending, 😔 but memories are forever!! L❤️ve L❤️ve L❤️ve this Video, Ty Rick 👴🥰👵
Thanks MP!!!🌰🌰🌰(🤣😂) This was a BANNER morning and Randy was with us for it. Made it extra special finding all 4 monster bulls bedded together once we slogged through the creek. That shot of Mismatch leaving is sad to watch. My heart was following him. I'm glad I didn't know at the time that it would be the last time we saw him. I'd have run out in front of him to stop him. 😍🥰(Oh As If!!!) But so right, fun and fond memories. ❤💔❤🩹❤
