Moose incisors are larger by quite a bit. Finally, Elk tend to eat smaller patches of bark.) Moose cut into the bark with their lower incisors and strip the bark upwards. You can see where the bark rips out at the top of the patch that is being eaten.
That is the best explanation by far. You are the moose whisperer..
