That would, indeed, be a yearling moose. Here in British Columbia, one restriction that is used in many areas is that a moose have no more than 2 points on at least one antler; such moose are referred to as spike/fork bulls. This regulation is used to prevent the killing of the more mature breeding bulls and about 20% of yearlings have 2-point or smaller antlers. The other 80% generally have small 3 or 4 point sides, and often there is very little palmation.
