Never been around moose in person, but find it facinating the way they seem to walk parallel to each other for quite a distance before angling toward each other. Love the video.
Fascinating. I hope the lame moose got better. Thanks again for the lack of music. I'd much rather hear the sounds of their antlers crashing together and the tiny vocalizations.
@@feliciadale1740 Thanks very much and I agree; music detracts from the action. The injured bull is the same one who is in the Older Bull/Younger Bull Interesting Encounter video that we posted. He did make it through the rut, last we heard. Glad you enjoyed the Alaska wilderness scene.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Thank you and you're very welcome! I'll be sure to check that one out, too, if I haven't already seen it. I came upon your work by complete accident and went right down that rabbit hole!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Talking to the (IGG) instant gratification generation. Unfortunately, most don't understand the suspense heightens the thrill. Thanks for the video.
@@sfall616 Thanks for your comment! We put the whole scene in there so that people can better appreciate the whole wind up to the fight. It's not just a charge/attack ordeal. Thanks for getting it!
Years ago, there was a guy in Norway who would go out in the woods with a huge pair of moose antlers and have encounters with moose. Always thought he was a bit crazy! Love the videos...
What he was doing was raking the antlers against the trees to get another bull to come in. We don't call the bulls in; they usually come in hot. We just want normal moose to moose interaction/behavior. We watched a guy rake last year who was using a little point and shoot camera...he was about to get himself killed for all the havoc that created. Thanks for the comment!
Those antlers grow pretty quickly over the summer and yes, they can weigh over 70#. We've seen a bull who lost one antler to fighting, and he must have had a tough time figuring out how to balance the lopsidedness of it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Joe! It takes a lot of hiking, hard work, dedication, frozen fingers and soaked boots, but we love it and really appreciate that you get it! Thanks for being here!
Am a fan big time. Superb quality videos and the scenery is magnificent. That was a short fight. Hope the lame one didn't fall to be a bear's dinner... That foreleg looked really painful the way he was holding it up. 😔
It sure had to hurt him but he was back in the game chasing cows the next day. Sore, lame, and he's the bull featured in the injured bull/younger bull video we have here. We did not see him this year, though. Doesn't mean he became prey, just means we didn't see him. Maybe next year. As always, thanks for your support!
Really amazing footage and majestic animals. Look at the (shot) at 2:30, what a great picture! At 3:22 the moose on the left looks stressed (look at his eyes) after seeing the other one is bigger, and older i guess (more white).
Thank you, appreciate that! Getting decent video of a bull fight is SO hard to do; right place right time and safety is key. Just recently posted Bull Moose Fight; How It Goes Down. Check it out. Love that slow motion head wagging with the evil eyes showing. Thanks for watching.
And yet despite that they are surpassingly predictable (To A Degree!!) Always ALWAYS have a good, solid tree nearby to get behind. Safety is key. Thanks for watching.
He took on all challengers and went after others who didn't come gunning for him. Scraped up like crazy and lame but he kept going! Should name him Energizer.
:47 to :49.... See the camera man in the back ground...just a flash... but this big ol bull NOT INTERESTED... The really good battles are ALWAYS between evenly matched size bulls.... GREAT VIDEO
Great footage they both did what was necessary to intimidate each other and when the end came neither could say I didn't give it my all.Beautiful pictures of the moose and those sounds were real. I felt as though I was there. It's fair to say if there was unnecessary loud talking and moving about during the fight, the loser would have to kick that person's ass disturbing and causing him to loose. High five all the way if that ever be the case. ✋but until then high five to the cameraman. Very good job.
Thank you! This was a team effort, as are all of our videos, both Rick and I are filming, and absolutely NO talking allowed! It's why we avoid the photog crowds. Glad you enjoyed and thanks again.
Dude that’s straight up some cowboy shit. They walk past eachother do the old this town ain’t big enough for the two of us. Walk ten steps turn and draw (in this case charge).
They do do that John Wayne walk-in, don't they? And it is almost always the bull with the higher ground advantage who ultimately pushes/wins. Thanks for watching.
Not at all Mark; that is a move designed to intimidate and to show the other bull what he has as weapons. They size each other up that way. Pretty interesting stuff!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Thanks for getting back to me on that, felt kinda silly asking, and yes it is interesting. So it,s true, size does matter. Lol. Mark.
@@mhenhawke5093 Happy to assist there Mark. Not only size but attitude counts. The winner of this battle has less rack but more bravado. Despite taking a beating in the alders he won this one. Thanks for watching/commenting.
They do make sounds, for sure. But they rarely kill one another. One generally just runs off and that's the end of that fight. Elk can be brutal, I know. Thanks for watching!
edited video of two different situations, look at the topography and the foliage. Still good shots of the fight and it looks like a changing of the guard.
Look in the background at the 50 or 52 second frame. Is that just the film? Or what? It in the gap of trees way back there. Right above his antler.. hmm
You can see how the horns or whatever they're called our kind of Staind that happens that happens because moose grow this weird for thing around their horns and they have to strip it off and it looks horrifying but they do that and that's what stains their horns
That was me, Rick was filming that scene. The bull was otherwise distracted to I knew I could get to some higher ground; I"d seen the other bull in the distance making his was over and figured there would be some sort of confrontation. Thanks!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Did you think the bull could smell you, and if so would it have mattered since it was distracted? I'm sorry for all the questions. I' m just trying to learn how they behave.
@@johnf.kennedy4075 Never bothered by questions, at all. Thanks for them all. These moose are used to humans being around in this case; they really don't care. Normally I'd be very much aware of wind direction, staying hidden and silent.

@@MooseManNaturePhotos Does it get dangerous that close to moose?
@@someguy8798 Big lenses, watch the moose close, use trees for safety
That was bigfoot
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Have you known if a moose shakes his head on a tree means the moose is telling you i'm gonna do this to you.
Incredible Footage. Thank you for sharing this.
As always, thank YOU!

Such magnificent creatures!

@@ronrobertson3381 Yeah, I can imagine. They react to the sound of bone on branch more than anything.
I can almost feel the ground shake, they are huge! Amazing and scary
Well actually when you're standing right there during a fight? you CAN feel the ground shake! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Moose’s owner walks by at :49.
Yeah, that would be me...but they. don't listen to me like my cat does. (:>)
Those antlers must be hard to balance. Beautiful scenery.

Gorgeous animal
That head-tossing that they do to make themselves look big and fine? I think we should call that the rut strut!
I like it! The Rut Strut!
Those mountains are beautiful.

What distance is the camera from the animals?? Amazing.
We are like 150' or so, but they are large MM lenses and often cropped footage to bring you in even closer. The gear these days is amazing.
“.. kickin’ ‘n a-gougin’ in the mud ‘n the blood ‘n the beer.”
I assume that's a zoom lense... Hopefully. Beautiful.
Yes, big zooms. Only way to do it!
I love Moose
Awesome
Thanks!
Great video. Amazing creatures! Thanks for posting!

Amazing. This is what "megafauna" means.
The way they walk is the way I walk out of a bar.
Ole moose gor SWAG!!!!
Mature adult male moose are one of God’s most magnificent and impressive creatures on earth.
They are stunning. Powerful, gentle, graceful, and Huge!
Danke ! Sehr lehrreiche Aufnahme !

I wonder how much PSI is between those antlers when they clash. Must've been a lot cause he seemed pooped and sore after
the power is amazing, especially the bigger bulls

0:48 what was the person in blue doing?
Rolling his head from side to side.
And ole Silver Hair comes out on top, a little worse for wear, but Victorious. Mark.

Good Cows
Did his leg get broken?
When you say it’s a bull
versus moose but it’s actually moose versus moose LOL
A bull moose is just a big male moose
Eduardo is correct male moose are called bulls, female moose are called cows.
Imagine getting caught in the middle of that! End up looking like a bowl of spaghetti lol.
Yeah, you'd be sliced and diced for real!

Lot of pressure flakers and knapping hammers on that rack.

The one that got injured seem to make a sound and the fight was over I could be wrong but if not pretty cool cause elk kill each other.
They do make sounds, for sure. But they rarely kill one another. One generally just runs off and that's the end of that fight. Elk can be brutal, I know. Thanks for watching!
THAT MOOSE WALKED WITH STRAIGHT SWAGGER FROM 0:20-0:25
At 0:48 Phantom was spotted walking through the jungle!
Thankyou its great to see them alive so many vids sadly feature the other side that they call hunting ? with a gun? ..
Yes, we prefer to shoot them over and over and over and then come back to see them another day so we can do it all over again!
Pulled a front hammy. Hope he gets better.
Hi there, yup....he was limping around for a week or so, do alot of resting.
Never thought moose fighting sort of sounds like trees/branches breaking and falling :O
Yes, and they often break parts of their antlers, so it's the sound of bones breaking. Crazy power.
Yup. 🇨🇦
edited video of two different situations, look at the topography and the foliage. Still good shots of the fight and it looks like a changing of the guard.
We are a team of two "shooters" so I stitched our two different vantages together to tell this story. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos cool
Is it walking while swinging because those antlers are to heavy ?
It’s called showing off their rack. With these guys, size matters.
Who’s the person in the background at the .50 second mark?
HI Dave, that's my wife, We are Team MooseMan, thanks for watching
That is me, Libby, Rick is videoing this segment, got it from the opposite angle.
David Martin zoo keeper
I Saw a moose few days ago
That was more like a light scuffle.
Well, admittedly the action happened during the crash in the alders there. We do have more aggressive fights here on the channel.
You can skip to @2:59 and save 3 minutes you'll never get back.
We just thought the behavior leading up to it was pretty interesting. But then we find the whole rut fascinating.
And miss that epic posturing?
I felt bad for the one fella limping but nature can be harsh
Very true, but we saw him today; he has cows with him!

I don't think the lame one was done. He looked like he was going after the younger one.

Do they have a predator there? Those antlers look so strong and dangerous!

LOCK EM UP!
Why do moose’s faces look so goofy and derpy
It animated
Messed his leg up
Why doesnt the camera guy just break them up?
Why should he? This is the way of the rut for millennia.
