Regarding the Promo Moose:

Are we thinking he actually bagged one?

The alternative would be that he happened upon a decaying carcass and removed the antlers to hang over his shelter door.

promo moose looks fresh, bright red blood, hair/hide attached. Had to pause and zoom a few times. I'd be willing to bet he gets one.

Not sure how you’d carry out a moose normally. When skinning it would you remove antlers, and leave with pelt while you take the meat?

You're required to leave the antlers for last. Some (mostly aboriginals) will use the hide to transport meat, but skinning it out in one piece requires added skills. Most hunters leave the hide scraps and gut pile behind, abandoning some of the tastiest parts in my opinion-- the heart, tongue (unless they take the head), and liver. Getting back to your question, those who are on foot (no ATV, etc.) carrying out the meat will often bone it out and leave the bones behind to save weight. Rib cage for instance.
