Mature bulls have antlers that often span around--and occasionally over--6 feet, however most bulls will have spans of around 4 to 5 feet. Younger bulls have smaller spans of antlers. They can weigh around 40 to 50 lbs, which means every bull needs to have a powerful neck to not only hold the weight of those antlers, but fight with them too.
Male moose have the big antlers coming from the sides of their head, as a female moose does not :).

Their antlers are so BIG that they can kill you and there are big animals.
Moose do regrow their antlers, but as they get older, they don't grow as big. Moose lose their antlers in the winter because they have to use extra energy to grow them. if they fall off, the energy that the moose uses in the summer to grow its antlers will be used to survive without much food.

You tell the moose that you are going out for ice cream, and he can ride shotgun? <><><><> Seriously, a moose is far too big to get into a car. Even if the antlers WERE inflatable.

Yes! A very large set of antlers on a moose could measure over 6 feet wide and weigh as much as 50 lbs, but any bigger and the antlers could cause problems. Animals with enlarged antlers, such as the three meter antlers of the Irish elk (an ice age inhabitant of Europe and Asia and a close relative to the moose) evolved antlers reaching 3 meters across and weighing 40 kg---too big for the animals' own good. It is believed the burdensome bulk on their heads was a contributor to the extinction of the species.
