GORHAM — A North Conway doctor has donated a pair of giant moose antlers she came across while hiking in the White Mountains to the U.S. Forest Service’s Androscoggin District office in Gorham.
Of the shed antlers she discovered on Cherry Mountain in December, Dr. Fawn Landerman said, "they’re a giant pair that weigh 15 pounds total."
