Chance encounter in the woods leads to completing potential record-breaking set of moose antlers from Minnesota

World record moose-shed finder Richie Erickson, of Iron, Minn., recently acquired the match to the 133-5⁄8-inch shed he found in May 2022 in northeastern Minnesota. The nontypical set – finally reunited – scores a little over 200 inches, which tops the current state and world record by 13 inches.
“It was really cool, actually. It was neat to see what the animal (would’ve) looked like with them both, and especially because they’re such unique antlers,” Erickson said.
While Erickson found his record-breaking single antler in 2022, finishing the set wasn’t as simple as scouring the forest floor, as he did in 2022.
