I don't think a moose could just randomly lose his antlers, but if he did I just think it would suck for him and maybe hurt, but I don't really think it would do anything to him besides losing his capability to win in fights with other moose.
Loosing antlers for moose is natural especially after the rutting season ends, which is in early winter. Bulls won't loose their antlers until late winter (February-March).
Moose have antlers primarily for mating purposes. During the mating season, male moose use their antlers to compete with other males for the attention of females. Antlers also serve as a form of defense and can be used to establish dominance within the herd.
Antlers are a primary feature of the animals that reside under the Family Cervidae. Animals with antlers include deer (red deer, fallow deer, mule deer, white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, roe deer, pudu, chital, brocket deer), moose, elk (wapiti), and reindeer (caribou).
Called Moose in America, Elk in Europe, it's the largest extant species in the Deer family and the males have palmate style antlers. Males can stand as high as 7 FT. high at the shoulders and reach weights of 1600lbs.
Vixens do not have antlers. Antlers are typically found on male deer and are used for mating rituals and battles for dominance. Vixens, which are female foxes, do not possess antlers.
Moose are not typically considered deadly unless they feel threatened or provoked. However, they are powerful animals and can be dangerous when approached too closely. It is important to keep a safe distance and respect their space in their natural habitat.

The antlers defend the moose.
Only males really have antlers.
no, they dont have antlers
Since moose loose their antlers, they start growing them right away.
The correct answer depends on what time of the year you saw the bull moose. After the Fall rutting season the antlers fall off. The moose will then grow a new set of antlers in the Spring.
Moose use their antlers primarily for mating displays and fighting during the rutting season. They will also use their antlers to defend themselves or their territory from predators or other moose. Additionally, moose may use their antlers to forage for food by pushing aside branches or vegetation.

Male moose (bulls) are typically larger and have antlers, while female moose (cows) are generally smaller and do not have antlers. Bulls use their antlers for defending territory and during mating season. Bulls also tend to have a more prominent hump on their shoulders.
