A buck with 2 points on each horn is called a Forked Horn. Remember, you have to be able to hang a ring on each horn for it to count as a point and the eyeguards do not count in some states such as California.

What are the characterstics of moose?
The adult moose is a large mammal, shaped much like a horse, which is dark brown in color. Their hindquarters are slightly lighter in color and so is their underbelly. The hair is short in the warmer months, longer and thicker in the winter months and it's hollow, which helps them to swim. The male moose, called a bull, grows a large rack of antlers which, when fully grown, can be up to 6 or 7 feet across and weigh around 80 pounds! The female moose, called a cow, does not grow antlers. Moose have large ears which can pivot independently from each other in all directions and so they have very good hearing. The shape and placement of the antlers on the males may even improve their auditory abilities. Moose have dark brown eyes which, like the ears, can pivot independently 180°, therefore a moose can see all but what is directly behind him. Their sense of smell is also very acute. The nose has special valves inside which allow moose to submerge their heads and dive under water. The moose has a very thick, strong neck from which hangs a long, round flap of skin and hair called a dewlap, or bell. This varies in appearance from moose to moose and occurs in both male and female of the species. Some dewlaps are fat and up to 20 inches long; some are short and thin; and some others may just be a tuft a hair. See examples of different dewlaps below. Researchers have yet to discover a purpose for the dewlap.
How is much does a moose weigh?

What are some needs for a moose to live?
a moose needs food,water,a place to live,and a healthy environment.
Moose like areas that are cold. They can be found in tundra, taiga, and forest biomes, mostly around Asia and North America.
its kinda difficult to get what you mean with that.. do you mean to ask if they're monogamous? or if they continue mating each year until death? the answer to those questions are no, and yes respectively.
male elk, known as a "bull", like most members of the deer family, participate each year in whats known as the "rut". they will compete with each other in various ways such as antler sparring, to win the right to mate with the female a "cow". they will do this with as many cows as possible, as many times as possible. some bulls will mate up to a dozen times with a single cow, as the estrus cycle (when she is able to become pregnant) is only a day or two.
an elk will continue to do this until it is no longer able to, though most are killed by a predator before this happens
it may be worth noting, that in a small herd of elk, you may see up to twenty cows per bull, because the bull is waiting for the time of year when he can mate with all of them. however when that time comes, many other bulls will begin following them as well.
They're afraid of humans in the sense that they will avoid humans as much as possible during the best of times. During the rut and when a cow has her calves with her, that's a different story. But a moose will act in the same way during those same times to other predatory animals like bears, wolves, coyotes and mountain lions. They know that humans are predators too; they know what it means when it sees an animal with forward-facing eyes.
Indeed moose are dangerous animals, more dangerous than a bear when cornered, but that doesn't mean they aren't scared of humans. Moose may wander into a residential area, but does that mean it's unafraid of people? Not exactly, especially when fish and wildlife officers have to try to corner it to tranquilize it and move it to a safe, more natural location. A moose will run away--yes, in fear--when it knows it's in the vicinity of humans via sight, smell and sound.
Any creature that eats carrion (dead meat) coyotes,wolves,bears,vultures,crows.
