Mooses rubs sightings

I found some big rubs this weekend.  When did Pennsylvania get mooses?

    Rubs aren't high enough to be a moose. They look more like a jackalope. By the looks of the third picture it might be a daddy lope teaching his two youngsters how it's done.

    If it's a legitimate rub it's no doubt from an elk. But it does seem very low. Could it be a hoax? Surely not a moose.
     
    Huummmm Jackalopes.....thought they were extinct in PA!

    Jon,

    Two years ago, there was a rub I saw on a tree twice that size. The buck that made it is STILL moving! Whoever gets him will have a wallhanger, he was a 10, 2 years ago with unbelievable mass.

    I used the word "mooses" for a joke, I guess.  I know we don't have any mooses around here.  These are rubs from a whitetail, on state forest, that I came across a few weeks back.  Dad was making fun of me -- telling me it was a porcupine so I had to go take some pics for his lazy a§§, figured I'd add a thread to the slow-going hunting board.  The deer was a 12 point last year, a friend saw him twice in bear season.  He does not know if anyone got him.
     
    J .. I too have seen rubs this big and bigger, but none (there's probably about 20-30 in the a one arce area) so defined, 360 degreees around, and that tore up.
     
    I also saw two bucks the other day with their horns.  Goofy deer, I want to find some!!!!  I guess it's a good thing though.
