The Edwards article relates to two species of deer. No extrapolation needed. The earlier reference to moose was an article that contained a mention of the method developed in deer and then applied it to a sample of moose.

I am a vet and deer specialist not a zooarchaeologist but I should have
thought that to extrapolate from one species of deer to another was rather
risky. You wouldn't expect to use cattle data to interpret sheep would you?
There is as close a taxonomic relation between white tailed deer and moose
as between cattle and sheep or antelope....John Fletcher

I have the information I need - which I found here:
Edwards JK, Marchinton RL, & Smith GF (1982) Pelvic Girdle Criteria for Sex
Determination of White-Tailed Deer. The Journal of Wildlife Management
46(2):544-547.

I have found an article on sexing moose that contains a review of Taber
(1956) and a figure or two...

Try my article on distinguishing sex with artiodactyl pelves. It works for
deer as well.
It is up on my academia and Zooarch pages
If you need me to send it to you, let me know.

Would anyone happen to have a diagramme illustrating key points
differentiating male/female deer pelves by any chance? If so, a pdf would be
most welcome. I seem to have lost a few pages of a lab manual used by my
undergraduate zooarch class.
