Oh boy! That all looks sooo good. I used to be careful going to the out house when camping cuz moose would be right outside the cabin door. Good memories back then. Real nice area there.
Thank you. I just started putting this year’s videos together for the same location and there are some really interesting behaviors that I’m excited to share. It will still be a month or so before I collect the last videos of the season.
Looking forward to more videos, I have subscribed to your channel. Keep them coming. BTW, I did not mention I really like your setup of branches to conceal your camera. I also paint my cameras but have not used branches yet.
Thank you. I don’t know if I showed it in this video, or another one, but I use haywire to secure them. I’m looking forward to seeing your upcoming adventures as well. 👍🏽
I was very fortunate with this camera’s placement. I put a camera in this location again this year and again got some very cool footage, but it is distinctively different. I’ll be sharing it in six weeks or so.
What a prize to find a cross trail with so much activity for moose. I have one where 3 trails meet and the bear activity is very good. Not as good as yours but for Saskatchewan, its very good. Thanks for sharing. Can not be too careful about concealing the camera. have had 5 stolen.
I have mine in locking bear boxes that I cable lock to the tree. I have had bears claw them the moose hit them with their antlers and have not had damage yet. Additionally, none stolen … yet.
@@RaisedinAlaska I have Steel lock boxes, I use 4 inch lag bolts x 2 and I use steel locking cable plus a pad lock. In the location I used to get a lot of great videos, there was a guy or guys went around with cordless angle grinders or saws all and cut them down. I have moved about 15 Km away and now walk about 300 yards off main trials to set up. have not lost a camera in 2 years. Just about lost one last year. I check my cards when I got home, saw the guy twice try to get the camera so I went and moved it same day. 6 hours driving that day.
@@RaisedinAlaska oh yes we do…. You are such in a paradise area, In Quebec we do not have te quality of hunt/ animal as much game as in Alaska…. And our Gouvernement with Gun regulation is getting crazy. Cheers 🤙🏼
Moose are amazingly huge. It is easy to forget how big they are: standing 7 feet at the shoulders and nearly 10 at the head. I am shocked nearly every time I get close to one.
Very good sir........I've too have preferred setting my set's for moose higher up. Helps some with dew/frosts as well to keep them in a tree like you have still with some branches. I've toyed with both fake wallows and tree coys (fake bull rubs and wallows) sometimes they take to them and sometimes not. All fun!
Thank you. I happened upon this spot, there were several moose scrapes from the year prior, and set my camera up there. Early on, a bull made a new scrape and then it was game on.
Excellent insight to these animals here! Thanks for posting. I have a question for you, what do you think causes the moose to go into rut? There seems to be two camps of thought, one is they rut dependent on daylight hours and that’s why they rut sooner north than they do in say Wasilla, generally speaking, the daylight is fading faster up north. Others are adamant that it’s temperature and season, but it also gets colder sooner north than it does south. I’ve had bulls responding to calling and ready to fight in unit 14 late August one year and the same year had bulls running away kicking like a horse in September in upper 13, so I haven’t been able to make any sense of it other than nature is going to do what it wants, so I just go look for sign and listen and go from there, and that’s worked but I’d love to get your 2 cents!
That is a fantastic question. I’ll start with I’m not a biologist, but this is my guess: Certainly the rut is really dependent on when the cows come into heat. We, as hunters, focus on the bulls and the younger bulls get wound up early whereas the seasoned bulls generally remain in seclusion until the cows are ready to breed. The mature cows generally come into heat earlier than the young cows. All that said, I think it is the amount of daylight. Last year, here in Anchorage, winter (snow and cold weather) came early, but the rut occurred at the same time of year as past years. Just my guess for what it’s worth.
@@RaisedinAlaska thank you for your input! I think most hunters know their woods better than the biologist’s do, they’re a good starting point for resources but their grants only let them go so far, hunters live for it! That’s why I like talking to other hunters. I’d say your testimony is very accurate! The moose do seem to go into rut at about the same time yearly regardless of weather, but it’s always cooled off some by then. I’m not totally convinced it’s seasonal as pertaining to the temperature, but I’m almost convinced it’s seasonal as pertaining to the daylight hours available. Im going to try and really pay attention to this in the next few seasons as it could have a huge effect on how I call, but then there’s the mother nature effect, where you just have to go look and see what’s happening regardless of moon cycles or temperature fluctuations, I’m pretty convinced the science is reading the sign and that a calendar can only help so much. Thanks again for the conversation!
@@RaisedinAlaska also something I didn’t touch on, the younger bulls can cause a lot of ruckus in the early season responding to cow calls, if you want a spike, that’s a good option!
@@bronzebeard5890 I agree that there is no substitute for field experience and time in the outdoors is never wasted time. I also like the idea that more study in the field is required.👍🏽
@@bronzebeard5890 There is nothing wrong with a spike, they are better eating than an old bull and still big enough to put a year’s worth of meat in the freezer. At the end of the day, it really about making memories.
Thank you. I do have a couple more game camera videos from last fall that I’ll publish as well as some close encounters with moose. I also am in the middle of a moose calling video that had some great shots. Finally, my Bears Gone Wild 2 and 3 have some HUGE bears over a bait site. That was a fun experience that I would like to repeat.
This was a new camera placement for me last year. I placed a camera in this same lactation this year the captured some really cool videos and behavior. I’ll share in the near future.👍🏽👍🏽
I think they smelled me after I changed the memory card. That said, they may have caught the scent of the paint. I painted the box several weeks prior to putting it in the field. After painting it I left the bear box outside, but moose have a good sense of smell. This year I left the box on the tree so next year I can drop the camera in the box and skip most of the set up, which is my least favorite part of the whole process.
This camera is an older Stealth Cam. I camera I’m most impressed currently is the Campark. I have done a couple reviews for them and they have a longer video coming out in a few months. Really incredible quality.

You know he’s out there. Bigfoot’s super sense is the ability to feel Passive Infra-Red (PIR) or the motion detection system in game cameras and how many phones and cameras are automatically focused. This explains why there are fewer Bigfoot sightings in the age of autofocusing cameras, cell phones and game cameras.😁
HI Ray, Rick here. I thoroughly enjoyed this video, with so many great moments captured. Really nicely put together. Looking forward to more adventure
Thank you very much Rick. I really enjoy your videos as well.
Thank you for sharing this! It's fascinating to watch their behaviors and listen to their vocalizations. Looking forward to your future videos.
Thank you.

Real nice area there.
I wouldn’t want to bump into one either. Every time I am close to a moose I am in awe of their size.
Wow I never seen that many moose before. In the world .. amazing. Thank you for sharing 😊

absolutely awesome video from a 50 year veteran moose hunter and trapper in northern manitoba
Thank you very much, I was fortunate. There are some real dandies lurking around.
Very nice and interesting footage! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Bavaria / Germany. 🙂👍

@@RaisedinAlaska yes, you showed the wire lots of work but well worth the effort if you do not lose a camera
Awesome raw moose footage.

@@RaisedinAlaska yes
@@RhinoRider2006 Holly smokes, people! Fortunately, so far, I do not have folks like that who have found my cameras.
Incredible footage of the moose
Thank you.
Incredible video with moose being moose. Undisturbed animals are always great teachers
That is one of the reasons I love game cameras so much: raw, uninterrupted animal behavior.👍🏽
There are some great bulls in this video.
Hello! I just discovered your channel , You have a new sub…. I’m looking foward to discover more of your videos🤙🏼
I just watched your salt lick video and subscribed to your channel. It looks like we have similar interests.
@@RaisedinAlaska oh yes we do…. You are such in a paradise area, In Quebec we do not have te quality of hunt/ animal as much game as in Alaska…. And our Gouvernement with Gun regulation is getting crazy.
Cheers

Great camera placement! Enjoyed the video.
Thank you. It was a fun experience.
Magnífico video 😉👌
Thank you very much.
Big strong animals aren’t they. Awesome footage. I bet those things can be dangerous if a person isn’t careful. Stay safe and thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching.

@@RaisedinAlaska that’s crazy. Lol. I wish I were there to see it too. One day soon!! :) stay safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
You too.🦃

@@RaisedinAlaska can't wait, moose are cool, so are bears I'll check those vids out as well. thanks
That one bull is massive
He is a dandy.
I'd love to see video mode during the non-rut times.
I like your thinking.👍🏽 The moose are far more active, during daylight hours, when the rut is on. Thus, I get a lot more good daytime videos.
What type of camera were you using? I gotta get one!
I am a Stealthcam fan.
There’s some nice bulls in there
This was a new camera placement for me last year. I placed a camera in this same lactation this year the captured some really cool videos and behavior. I’ll share in the near future.👍🏽👍🏽
Greetings from the North east of you. Great footage! Looks like you have a moose ranch. 🍻👍
There was a lot of action at this location.
Is that big resident bull known as “Grumpy”?!
Grumpy is significantly larger, especially his body.
What kind of camera do you use
I have several Stealthcams. This camera is a newer model, maybe the Dark Opps.
do animals smell the new paint /camo?
I think they smelled me after I changed the memory card. That said, they may have caught the scent of the paint. I painted the box several weeks prior to putting it in the field. After painting it I left the bear box outside, but moose have a good sense of smell.

@@RaisedinAlaska great, thanks for the feedback! I'll check them out
@@RaisedinAlaska what campark model are you using btw?
@andrewazorian2786 I have two different models, but I would say that the TC22 is the better of the two.
I wonder how bored and they get
