@@MooseManNaturePhotos I wonder how it helps the species for all these macho hunters to go after the very best bulls with the biggest horns? Isn’t that removing the best genes from the population?
@@coolcat1684 Indeed. The dominant bulls tend to keep the lesser bulls in line, too. By removing them it can definitely weaken the gene pool. Responsible hunters tend to take the mid range/age bulls out. Not for trophy, for meat. Period.
Never a growl sound. Lots of grunts, of course. But I have heard the strange bark sound a cow makes to her calf when she perceives danger or just wants the calf to respond quickly.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos maybe it was a grunt I heard then - all I knew was that I should get off my deck and in the house as we were way too close to each other LOL
@@anniequilts HA! Funny. A grunt is just a way the bulls announce themselves as they move about their day. It often seems like they are just talking to themselves. (:>}
Yes that might work now and then but the video's are better without music, i was actually joking about its the way the bull moose swagged in and introduce himself to the scene , it reminded me of all those funny brass section parts they use in movies to introduce a Funny characters and other certain Characters you also see it in movies a lot when there'a a big Animals star like a bear or a elephant. Anyway awesome footage ua-cam.com/video/jcNFjpxU0E8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Movieclips
@@MooseManNaturePhotos 🙂 Well it's biology. If the cow/s didn't get turned on by the bull's pheromone rich urine, then she nor any other cow moose would not have a calf in the spring.
@@watchensee You have that right. This is just how the moose mating season works. Similar to deer and elk but unique in its own way. Some of what makes moose so interesting. 😊
The bull urinates in the pit he digs and splashes that all over himself, he then beds in it. The cows find the pheromones and hormonal chemicals in his urine irresistible. They wallow in this muddy mixture and even fight to be in his pit. It is believed that this helps start the cows going into estrus, readying them for mating. This is all part of the yearly rut, the moose mating season, this does not occurs any other time in the year. Thanks for watching.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos I have witnessed Elk during the rut do similar, almost identical behavior in North Carolina. I did not know my favorite animal, the moose, do this as well. I love everything about nature and love learning as much as I can. Thank you for all you do and teach.
We too love all things wild and learning all about them. These incredible creatures have taught us SO much. We feel honored to be in their presence. Thanks again!
We have been filming these animals for 5 years and they are rather tolerant, but we do keep a tree nearby and also use large mm lenses and we tend to crop the videos so they appear closer to us. Thanks for asking.
@@elizabethhd7430 I think it's important to reach out to someone who takes the time to comment. We love the back and forth, between here and the MooseMan Nature Facebook page.
Trying to recall that shoot; but it was Rick and one other friend. Sometimes there are a couple of other photographers, but for the most part it's us and maybe one other that we know. It's rare that we're on a subject when there are several photographers, tend to avoid those shoots.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos I had to give Nikons a few years ago after I broke my second one because of falling due to my MS. I miss them so much! Now I really need a tripod or a monopod at the very least for stability. I love your videos, just came across them and subscribed, keep making videos so that so many of us can live vicariously.
@@Lwah0812 So sorry about your MS issue Leanne but yes! get a monopod! it makes a world of difference. It's what I use. No way could I shoot without it or a tripod. Thanks for subscribing and commenting. Welcome!
We have Nikon Z7 mirrorless cameras, filming in crop mode, (DX) with 300 or 500mm focal length, extending that by approx. 1.5. Distances vary depending on cover/safety.
Yes, the ropes do freeze/fall off, but not generally the bell. Did you actually find the dewlaps? That would be some freeze for real! Thanks for watching!
It is. Usually there are a bunch of calves running around with their moms during the rut. Lots more bears/predators in the area this year for sure. Good observation, sorry I missed this post until now.
And people get after goats for peeing on their own beards.... elk, bison and now Moose, all douse themselves in urine during rut. They can’t just walk down to the corner store and grab a bottle of cologne for their fancy evenings.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Nanny goats also seem to go wild for billy stank. I actually had a young billy once who didn’t stink and my nannies beat him up. 😳 he still managed to breed 6 nannies behind my back the little butt.
@@diaryofagoat-lass1023 HA! So you had discerning does? Or less than because Billy boy didn't have that stank thang going? Funny! Were his get bullied at school? See, even the losers get lucky sometimes. (A nod to Tom Petty. (:>) Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos I had very discerning Nannies but once their heat cycles started, my other 2 more manly billies were penned up, and having no kids last year, they said “screw it! We want goat babies!” (I thought the little stinker was infertile because he didn’t breed anyone last year and I need goats to kid at a specific time in the following year so I can’t have them breeding whenever they want or I get kids born at Christmas, here in Saskatchewan, that’s COLD 🥶 ) Instead he bred 6 behind my back and then offs himself in a freak accident. Only one of his daughters was worth keeping and she’s become an awesome momma goat.
@@diaryofagoat-lass1023 Wow, that's a cool story! I know, horses are the same way; can't let them drop foals in the middle of a blizzard (although all race horses have their birthday as January 1, so all of those breeders try to have their foals drop as close to that date as possible. Brrr. Heated barns, no doubt.) But your supposed dud billy offed himself in a freak accident (sorry to hear that) and left behind at least something worthy; you got a great momma nanny from all that goings on. I've had goats. They kept the horses company. And calm too.
They are so large but very quiet. Never seen moose in a rut ritual. Beautiful animals.
They are surprisingly quiet, good observation! Thanks for watching.
1:33 the best scene! Outstanding footage! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Gorgeous footage of these titans of the wilderness.
Thanks so much! Appreciate your being here!
The moose looks so majestic with those beautiful horns!!
He is quite the beautiful and powerful specimen! Thanks for the comment!

Love to see early Grumpy here. Fantastic footage, thank you!
Keeps me smiling how the cow simply can´t wait!😁🧡
Thanks Mahalia! I know, Grumpy was a babe (cow) magnet wasn't he? We miss that boy! 🧲❤
Fantastic video! That Bull was beautiful!
Thank you, he's a favorite of ours. Appreciate you watching.
WOW. SUCH AMAZING FOOTAGE. SUCH MAGNIFICENT ANIMALS.
Thank you very much. And we couldn't agree more; magnificent animals. Just being around them is a wow.
Thank you MooseMan! 👍🙏🏽
Thank YOU! (And you're welcome!)
Love those antlers would love to have a set like that.
Yes, many shed hunters find them and sell them for big money!
Wow, the moose looks handsome with antlers😅😆😅
You ought to see them up close and personal they are absolutely amazing how huge these Critters are
Incredible video, so cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Amazing videoing and good quality. They were all gorgeous and I never seen that before.
Thanks so much!
No thank you!
Fantastic photography. They’re such beautiful creatures.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Hermoso!!
Stunning video of magnificent animals
Thank you!
Wow, this is is a such a great video.
Thanks very much!
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing🙂
Thanks so much Craig! Thanks for watching!
Nice footage! What part of the country?
Alaska
Great video
That was his idea of 4711. ....and she liked it! 😆
2.25: A kitten with antlers:-)
nah fr tho that one moose at 1:34 was BAD asf
Oh he sure was!
I wish there were Moose in Ohio!
Michigan is close to you.
Great video. I miss living in moose country. Did you ever get close enough to have one growl at you?
Never a growl sound. Lots of grunts, of course. But I have heard the strange bark sound a cow makes to her calf when she perceives danger or just wants the calf to respond quickly.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos maybe it was a grunt I heard then - all I knew was that I should get off my deck and in the house as we were way too close to each other LOL

Moose growl?!
@@racheledwards2338 it sure sounded like a growl to me LOL
Bull moose is a player
Cue the funny trombone and tuba music 0:02
It's so tempting to put a soundtrack in, I know. I'll do some of that in the future, a lot of these videos call for it. Thanks for watching.
Yes that might work now and then but the video's are better without music, i was actually joking about its the way
the bull moose swagged in and introduce himself to the scene , it reminded me of all those funny brass section
parts they use in movies to introduce a Funny characters and other certain Characters you also see it in movies
a lot when there'a a big Animals star like a bear or a elephant.

@@err4071 Love it!! I have to do that, work a compilation together and make a funny video. Thanks!

Was that the bull or cow making noise?
It’s the cow. Pretty funny, isn’t it?
@@MooseManNaturePhotos 🙂 Well it's biology. If the cow/s didn't get turned on by the bull's pheromone rich urine, then she nor any other cow moose would not have a calf in the spring.
@@watchensee You have that right. This is just how the moose mating season works. Similar to deer and elk but unique in its own way. Some of what makes moose so interesting. 😊
I think I saw the bull moose urinate several times then eventually roll in it. Did the mare also roll? Did they finally breed?
The bull urinates in the pit he digs and splashes that all over himself, he then beds in it. The cows find the pheromones and hormonal chemicals in his urine irresistible. They wallow in this muddy mixture and even fight to be in his pit. It is believed that this helps start the cows going into estrus, readying them for mating.

Yes. They eventually get around to the better stuff but they are pretty worn out by then too!
C’mon man! The lady’s asking you to (in the words of Barry White) “ged-it-ooon”
How close are you to the moose and what type of equipment are you using?
We have Nikon Z7 mirrorless cameras, filming in crop mode, (DX) with 300 or 500mm focal length, extending that by approx. 1.5. Distances vary depending on cover/safety.
Big sack of furry skin under his chin, they freeze and fall off sometimes in the winter, I've found a few now during my adventures though the woods.
Yes, the ropes do freeze/fall off, but not generally the bell. Did you actually find the dewlaps? That would be some freeze for real!

Have you bought a tripod yet?
Weird to have so many cows without calf’s?
It is. Usually there are a bunch of calves running around with their moms during the rut. Lots more bears/predators in the area this year for sure. Good observation, sorry I missed this post until now.
