Moose in many regions suffer a neurological infection off of lilly root microbes, seeming confused, over aggressive or overly docile. Do not doubt them, I have been chased and I have also almost sprinted into a goofy moose out of nowhere. They are not cows or horses, they kill people easy.
Similarly where a whitetail will flee a threat, moose will often become aggressive. This is normal behavior, so give them space, never approach or otherwise threaten them, and you will likely never have a problem. This video was no different.
If he took the meat or not is irrelevant in this situation. He wasn't hunting, he was surviving. And if he didn't have the ability to take 900+ pounds of meat with him everyone can rest assured that the moose fed many other animals out there. From birds to wolves to bears. Very rarely does a carcass go uneaten in the wild.
What is relevant, however, are the first 25 seconds of the video where an idiot is driving at an unprovoked but dangerous animal, provoking it to attack him.
@@iamjohnrobot maybe, but if you'll also notice he has at least one more person behind him (could even be a child) so maybe he chose to attempt to run the moose off instead of turn around. It is what it is. Maybe they only have enough fuel to get back to camp and can't spend any detouring or backtracking. Never be quick to call someone an idiot. The bottom line is the moose did charge and he did protect himself and others.
@@Redwhiteandtired so waiting (as wildness training would say) doesn’t solve every single problem you describe? Doing an extremely stupid thing against all advice is…. Stupid. He didn’t even attempt to not provoke a dangerous animal, he immediately did every imaginable stupid idea. He is an idiot and provoked the situation directly.
@@yeedbottomtext7563 where did I say that? He should have waited, instead of driving at the moose and provoking it as we see in the first 25 seconds. Maybe you should learn to read, or watch. Genius
@@MynameisDUmassI’m so glad you’re an expert. Tell me, how would the mother moose, which surely was t that far away from its baby, react to finding said baby dead and its killer skinning/harvesting it? I’m sure it would all go down great, but since you’re clearly so well-versed in moose behavior I want to hear it from you.
@@jgamer2228 This was not a baby/calf, it was a mature shiras cow. Maybe slow down on the sarcastic attacks for situations you yourself do not understand. Emotion is irrelevant to this situation, or the protection of our animals and environment. Facts are.
I lived in Alaska for a decade. Moose attacks are far more common and often more deadly than bear attacks. I’m surprised this man let the moose even charge him in the first place. Respect to him for even giving a warning shot. Situation sucks but in the end this man went home to his family and friends and that is what matters.
He brought a 9mm handgun into moose/bear country instead of something like 10mm. He provoked a known territorial animal and continued to do so. Then after shooting it 4 times, he left it there to die a slow agonizing death. He's extremely lucky it was a juvenile female instead of a full grown bull with antlers or a momma bear with her cubs nearby. That's what I have an issue with.
It is true moose attacks are more common than bear attacks. I'm not really surprised he let the moose charge though, because his actions clearly showed he had no real knowledge or experience with moose. If he did, he would not have attempted to scare, approach, push, and trap himself within feet of one. Additionally, he would not have performed what should be known as threatening behavior without being ready for issues by having his firearm out and ready. It's evident he did not want to harm her, including your point of the warning shot, but the reality is his actions all but forced her to attack and per normal moose behavior, it was predictable she would do just that. This was easy to avoid, and anyone with knowledge and experience, especially in winter recognizes the best action here is to stop as you see them on the trail. It was a common moose sighting at that point with no danger. So, you stop, give her time, enjoy the moment, but also start considering a plan B since you understand while it was not a dangerous situation yet, it could get real in a hurry. Plan B should have been that trail to the left that proves he had enough space to avoid her completely. While people with knowledge won't intentionally ride that close and trap themselves, if this occurred through accident, and to your point about letting the moose charge, my firearm would have been out immediately if I found myself where he stopped and she bluff charged. That is because I would have recognized I was trapped, and she was too close. So, at that point as soon as she starts to warn me, I am firing a couple warning shots. It's still conjecture on if it works because he was trapped and she was in control, but it had a far better chance of working now as she was not as agitated. He actually did well once he started shooting and I can't fault anything he did, even the admirable warning shot after you were just attacked. But even that shows he did not fully understand that at best he had a 10mm, and it is tough to put a moose down instantly with a viable cartridge, let alone an underpowered one. Either way, I can't fault him for that and was surprised how well he did, since he made every mistake in the book before he started shooting and all but forced her to attack. In the end, he though he could scare her, and in his defense, these tactics work on any other animal he runs into here. As you know, moose are different...
@@SaltNBattery I won't get into the debate of a 10mm vs. the more powerful revolver here, but there are pros and cons to each side. I will however ask how you believe you can tell it was a 9mm just by watching a poor quality video where you would be unable to tell if he had a 19, 20, 29, etc. They are very close in size and you never got a good enough view to tell. Additionally, this was not a "juvenile female", it was a 4-5 year old mature shiras cow pushing 800lbs. Being a cow, or antlerless is irrelevant to the danger he was in. Moose also do not protect or hold territory, but instead will become aggressive to defend self, calf, or during the rut. Regarding a sow with cubs, they don't emerge from the den until early spring, which the conditions of this video shows it is not. A boar will come out of hibernation during the winter for a quick snack, and in that instance, this guys actions likely scares it off the trail, assuming the bear failed to leave as soon as he heard the snowmobile/before seeing it. Bears will almost always flee a mechanized vehicle like this, but as you saw, moose will not, especially on a snowmobile trail in winter. You have to be patient... Finally, death is not like on TV where the animal falls peacefully and is dead/motionless by the time it hits the ground. If "4 rounds" were not enough, how many shots are necessary rather than allowing it appropriate time to pass? That was hypothetical as pummeling the animal with shots is just not appropriate, or humane. Regardless, it does not matter because once you are attacked by a wild animal, especially one of the most dangerous in this country, your only priority is to get to safety as soon as there is an opportunity and that was when she fell. Stopping for any period of time to assess her injuries is of great risk and potentially puts them in worse danger. The correct move was to ride past so that he and his buddy could get to safety. I would have came back, but again, it is unnecessary, not a legal mandate, and I would never recommend anyone do that because it puts them at risk. Sad yes, but once attacked, your only priority is escaping the situation.
@BPRescue You can argue all you want, no one who knows anything is going to argue that anything less than 10mm is adequate to even try to stop a moose. Realistically, any handgun is inadequate but if that's all you're willing to carry it needs to be enough. You know what, I think you're right though. It's even worse than I thought, there's no rail. It's a 26. At 0:49 when he racks the slide with his finger on the trigger, you get a really good look at it. Play it at .25 speed, use ",-." to frame by frame. You see shells ejecting and the barrel when the slide cycles. Even before that The 19, 20 and 29 aren't close in size the 20's barrel is nearly an inch longer. I have a 17C, 19, 26, 43 and a gen 3 20. Have you ever fired a 10mm Glock? I have, many times and there's no way in hell that's a 10mm subcompact. The recoil, the muzzle blast/flash. 10mm wasn't designed for a 3.75" barrel. There's a lot of flash and unburned powder. I know how living things die, I've hunted all my life. I know how animals act when they're hit with a good shot and a garbage shot. Those were all garbage shots. That thing either bled out very slowly, with broken bones, or it drowned/suffocated. Again, slowly. I've hunted elk, caribou, boar, deer, coyote. I hunt with rifles, I hunt with bows. Never moose but I've been close enough to them to have been scared for my life. You know what we did both times? Got the f**ck out of there. Cause even with a 30-06, I'm not taking those odds. The reason I said "4 rounds" is because it looks like he missed the first, maybe on purpose or accidentally. It's hard to tell with the others, he definitely hit it 2 times, probably 3, he might have missed that second to last shot too. How many shots? Well had he an adequate firearm, 1-2 well placed shots. Had he had a 10mm, one aimed shot right below the animals ear, once it fell, would've put it down humanely. It wouldn't have taken more than a few seconds. He got extremely lucky and I agree once he got to the actual charge, he didn't have a choice but it was his fault he ended up in that situation. He wasn't walking through heavy brush and just stumbled into that moose. He saw it from way back, maybe turned on his camera. He just assumed (incorrectly) that it would be scared of him and then he assumed that if he revved his snowmobile enough times, and yelled loud enough that it would run. It never should've gotten to that point. It actually looked like she was going to leave, then he revved again and started moving towards her. He challenged her in every way he could while sitting on a snow mobile. Everything bad that happened in that video was this guy's fault. Like I said, I don't care that it died, I'm more than fine with killing especially in self defense, I care how it died.
@@Glock7eventeen ive never brought my handgun out sleddin and dont know anyone that ever would. Also the mooz ive come across just walk by or move off the trail. Ther just more polite up here. also probably because we dont bark like kid wolf and slowly inch towards it with a growling sled....
@Chandler Humphreys You don't need a reason to get a gun permit. You can get one even if you live in Toronto, all you have to do is pass a simple test. Unfortunately our government has been banning guns over the last 2 years. The AR-15 was banned 2 years ago, and the government just banned the sale of handguns a few months ago.
Being someone who lives in a country where moose are really common, I can say that you REALLY don't wanna get into a fight with one, you could hit one of them with a car and it would be like hitting a brick wall. Those things are built different.
@@frugalspoon1446 I see you haven’t ridden a snowmobile before. Compact snow on a trail is easy to move in at any time, deepish powder is easy ish to move in when you already have momentum. When you’re at a dead stop and try to go through deep non compact stuff from a dead stop it is EXTREMELY hard to get through and especially at any speed that could outrun a moose. That side trail was also heavy wooded, meaning a lot of trap wholes do to the trees. Those are extremely easy to get stuck in and extremely hard to get out of ESPECIALLY hard to navigate through with any kind of speed. There is also no reverse on a snowmobile so his only option was to try and scare it away, when that didn’t work his last option was to shoot, did his best to prevent it but things happen and in nature there is no “let’s call it a tigh and go our separate ways” it’s life or death. And moose are naturally aggressive, they have to defend against large predators so the first instinct is to attack before they get attacked. One stop and crush a femur, and trust they don’t just do one stomp… they will stomp until you’re dead.
@@frugalspoon1446 if he just wanted to kill it he would have shot it/been prepared to shoot on the moose’s first attempt. He actually gambled with his life letting it attack him once, that thing could have snapped his bones like stepping on a dry twig. Lucky guy
@@frugalspoon1446 Thanks for your life story no one asked about. How about you shut your mouth on matters you know nothing about? Bleeding hearts like you are so annoying.
Seems you missed the most valuable lesson here. Don't approach, scare, push and trap yourself within feet of wild animals on the trail, especially one of the most dangerous in this country.
It's a shame, he didn't want to kill it, his first shot was over the back to scare it. But if that thing stomped on him he was a goner. Nature is ruthless it's best to be armed while out adventuring. That's for sure. It's a shame but it's what had to be done.
I don't think what he did was right he could of went around it on his machine , he's there in the animals home playing around on a ski the animal just trying to survive , he could of done alot more to avoid this , turned around waited awhile , just could of rode straight pass it lol , he fired one shot above it then eminently shot for the head the thing didn't have a chance to react before he executed it , lame some what cowardly if you ask me , and that low squeal noise he was making was not a good idea , it encouraged the animal to attack he stops making that noise when the animal has got real close and has made the choice to try and scared him away then he starts yelling out to it, which is what he should of done in the Frist place I think this is what he is riding around there for just waiting for the chance to kill with his gun
@@zackiaryruddick701 you do realize how dangerous a moose is, don't you? Why tf would you let the moose charge you just in order to shoot it? Your logic makes no sense. Animals enter other animals territories and it is up to them to defend it. We are animals and we will fight back.
@@kollow4694 I don’t see how using a strength makes an animal weak though in my opinion. Generally, a crocodile doesn’t fight a lion on land, a lion won’t fight a crocodile in water. If other animals play to their strengths than we should be allowed to as well. Fighting a bear like a bear will get you put down because we aren’t built like a bear. But I’m confident that if you made a bear fight a human like a human (give it a gun) it will lose because it can’t fight like that.
Yes. Only the first charge is a feint. Second one is sometimes a full attack but is also sometimes just a stronger warning, small amount of physical intimidation. Third is almost always going to be an actual attack with killing intent. Rider made the right choice. He's lucky this one was a young female too. An older bull moose could have really screwed him or his snowmobile up on the second charge.
@@BPRescueohhhh so next time he should just let it charge him I see,you’ve never been around a moose and it really shows😂once that moose spots you…it’s gonna attack or threaten you,it saw him before he even went close to it. This would’ve been the outcome no matter what he did,if he tried back his snowmobile up he’d cause a bottles neck as they have sleds behind them and multiple people behind him. Nothing would’ve changed😂but hey you clearly know everything about moose and firearms😂hate people like you who speak from a nice gated community in the city where all of your meat is handed to and tainted with chemicals and additives🤷♂️
@@robyee3325yeah it's a snowmobile not a tank. moose can attack and do damage. only thing he did wrong didn't take out gun moment he spotted the moose.
@@gotmeatbruh4148 Interesting one of your many assumptions is that I have "never been around a moose", when your very comments prove you have no knowledge of the animal to any capacity. You take those Anthony Hopkins' movies regarding blood thirsty man eating grizzlies to an entirely new level of the rabid ungulate that attacks humans "once it spots you".🤣 Sorry to spoil the oil drum bonfire of your trailer park beer fest, but moose don't act in this manner. In fact, if you had any experience with moose, you would know as this video starts, this is a typical moose sighting one can expect while riding in moose country and of no real danger. If you had knowledge of moose behavior, you would understand that while there was currently no danger, the best action you can take is to stop as soon as you see one on the trail. With all animals this is a respectful option that limits stress while allowing them to flee on their own volition. But with "killer" moose, it also ensures you don't make the mistake of threatening them. Instead, immediately stopping at a distance allows them distance and time to consider options not without feeling threatened. While this tactic respectful for any animal you encounter on the trail, it is also critical for moose since once they feel threatened, they will often become aggressive as a defense and even attack just like you saw here. To be clear, the threat came from his ongoing attempts to scare her by yelling, revving the sled, riding forward and trapping himself within feet of the one animal that will not tolerate any of these actions, let alone all of them. With that wealth of experience you see no fault on his side, then revert back to the "killer moose" theory? Had he stopped when he first saw her and given her time, she hops off this trail, or turns and walks away almost every time. Keep in mind that stopping not just gives her time to work it out with limited stress, it gives you more time to formulate plan B in the rare instance she decides to walk your direction expecting you to yield. This is where the experienced person would have noted that single wide trail to the left as the video begins that proves there is enough space for him and his buddy to avoid her completely. Backing up is an issue, not just for the one valid point you made regarding his buddy blocking the trail, but also because it affords great risk and it is now a time you can't waste removing ice scratchers, putting it in reverse and even potentially getting stuck. While it was unnecessary, he even could have fired 1-2 warning shots early on that while showing he is a novice, had a far better chance of working than after he greatly agitated her with his ongoing actions. So, I now just gave you 3 low risk actions that had the best chance of working, yet you believe the best option was to immediately approach a dangerous wild animal, trap yourself within feet rendering your sled incapable of aiding in any real escape, and relying on an underpowered firearm to save your life? That is your best option for this scenario, when in retrospective you have a video that shows what happens when you threaten a moose, but also ignoring the fact she turned around twice in an attempt to walk away? I can't fault him for the 2nd time she walked away for her now 3rd charge outside of not have his firearm ready before he approached her, but these 1-2 gifts where all he had to do was stop as she warned, don't move or make noise and she continues walking the opposite direction. Yet he continued to be aggressive, rev his motor and inch forward in his attempt to push her. Sorry bruh, but you and I both know you have no experience here... As for my firearms experience, you are vastly wrong there as well as I hinted when I started speaking of his "underpowered firearm". Point of fact, you really missed the target in every assumption you made.
Moose look friendly but they’re no joke. Big respect to this guy for being patient and only shooting when he knew there was no other way out of this situation.
Your first sentence is correct, but you went off the rails after that. While this guy did everything right after he started shooting, he did everything wrong before. His actions of trying to scare, approach, push, get too close and trap himself within feet of her escalated this and is what all but forced her to attack, and him to shoot her in self defense. Respect is inappropriate as this was easily avoidable, but yes, once she attacked, he did have the right to protect himself; even though his actions created the issue.
@BPRescue he might not have been taught how to deal with moose. While it may not have been the way to go, atleast its obvious he didn't wanna hurt it. Hell he even gave a warning shot to try and make it leave but it instead charged him
@@jackbluehq6653 It's clear he had not been taught to deal with moose, but that is irrelevant. When you go into the outdoors, you respect nature and when encountering animals, you allow the animals to naturally move about their business with as little interference and stress as possible.. This means it does not matter what animal you run into, or if the animal is dangerous or not, you perform the same action. So, the appropriate action is to stop as soon as you see them on the trail, wait, and allow them to work it out and either jump off the trail or leave. You never approach and/or get too close to them. This action is even more important in this situation because as he just learned, scaring them will often force them to become aggressive. But I do agree with your last sentence. He made many mistakes, but he did not want to shoot her. Regardless of intent, moose knowledge would have been helpful, but if he was an outdoorsman to any capacity, he would have known how to address it.
@@BPRescue This right here is exactly what the comment section is for. I was praying there was going to be real people still left on the Internet. Thank you sir for knowing the task and completing it in star spangled colors🧐🧐🧐🧐 Let these punks shitheads know exactly the energy you give out is the energy you get. It doesn’t matter that moose don’t speak English, everything can read your energy. This dude pulled up screaming and grunting. Go do that to some Mexicans on a side alley and see if they don’t charge you the same way. Dudes a fucking tool bag and I hope he cleans the gun with his tongue by putting it in his mouth and squeezing the trigger a whole bunch, I was praying they weren’t going to show a divine animal like that getting murdered. That sucked ass to watch I’ll be totally honest
As a hunter it hurts to see you leaving the moose without making sure it's dead. Could lay there for hours and suffer before bleeding out. Edit: Damn, this blew up. Not meaning to attack the camera guy here. I completely understand the adrenaline in the moment. I hope they went back off camera to make sure the moose died. While hunting in Sweden, if we shoot a moose and the hit doesn't kill it we're legally obligated to keep searching until we find it and kill it to avoid animal cruelty.
Do you hunt with just a knife or are you camouflaged up hiding In a bush with a rifle? Let me guess the latter! So what exactly are you killing these animals for? Fun?
For those who don’t know, moose attacks are way more common than bear attacks. They are extremely territorial animals and have no qualms about stomping you out. Unfortunately they are pretty much unfazed by bear spray and usually lethal force is necessary. When one is put down in self defense, the situation is immediately reported to fish and wildlife were they do a thorough investigation regarding the matter. This guy did everything right, he properly tried to ward off the animal multiple times but with no avail. He was charged at twice and only fired on the third attempt. It’s a crappy situation but he made the correct decision. Don’t worry the animals meat will be distributed by fish and wildlife to a local shelter. That is standard protocol.
dumb logic hes in a forest bro. EDIT. Saying 'always carry' because of a situation where you should actually carry, EG dangerous American forest, makes no sense. its like showing a video of a person getting attacked by a leopard in India but he luckily protects himself with a blowtorch, and saying 'Oh, thats why you should always carry a blowtorch'. you should never always anything. situations change in life. I was opposing that immature view
@@ADRI_a_REAL1 wtf are u talking about? did u even see the video? he was getting attacked by a moose, so he shot and killed the moose, in what backwards world is that not self defense?
I didn't say it wasn't.

Sucks he had to shoot it but he was well justified in doing it. Clearly the moose intended to attack again. I would've spent the extra 2 rounds to end its suffering though.
To clarify a few things. One: Scavengers most likely got to the carcass much later on so no. The moose did not go to waste. Two: The bullets that hit the moose damage the hide, thus lowering the quality of the pelt. Either way. The guy didn't HAVE to skin the moose or take it home, it also is an adult cow. Not a baby. Who cares if he didn't take advantage and took the meat and skin home. Be greatful this man is alive and ok. Moose are very dangerous cretures and can\will kill you. There are many reports of poeple getting killed by a cow or bull moose.
It is true that either scavengers or people will take advantage of this meat. However I am not sure what you are talking about regarding damaging the hide, quality of the pelt, or even that he could have taken it home. Taking any part of that moose would have been illegal here. Additionally, if he was actually hunting, by law he is required to take every usable part of this moose. It is also true that moose are dangerous, which is one of many reasons why you don't approach them. And while many people are irrationally upset, they are not entirely wrong. As this video starts, this was a normal moose sighting you can expect while riding in moose country and of no danger. He created the danger by approaching, trying to scare and push her. Had he simply stopped as soon as he saw her, then this likely works itself out almost every time. interesting you attack others for their inaccuracies, but you yourself clearly don't have experience otherwise you would recognize this... In the end he did not want to shoot her, but his mistakes all but forced her to attack, and yes, him to shoot her in self defense.
@@Howie-f3z Not so fast. While it is true the guy was within his right to shoot her when she attacked, it was his actions of approaching, trying to scare, push and trapping himself too close that all but forced her to attack and him to shoot her. He should have stopped as soon as he saw her, and given her time and space to move on. They will do just that almost every time, and in those rare instances she continues walking, he had other options. Those evaporated however with his actions. In the end he created the danger, so I would not say he is "absolutely blameless".
I'm going to be honest, i'm surprised he escaped that first attack without puncturing or breaking something. that was a female moose and appeared to be about 5' tall. at that size, you can expect that thing to weigh about 600lbs. now imagine a 600lb stainless steel refrigerator charging at you at full speed swinging hooves that are hard as cement with nothing but solid muscle.
@@pmgg8906 In Moose and Wolf country a LOT of people are packing serious firepower if they're smart. It's not a concealed carry situation in the middle of a city. In Alaska, moose outnumber bears 3 to 1, and they injure around 5-10 people annually.
@@pmgg8906 I just purchased a glock 40 for carry in grizzley country and at all times when outdoors. Did you just say the 10mm is obscure so buy a 50AE? lool Availability of a self defense gun equating to quality is a silly argument to use. The 500 nitro express is an extremely obscure cartridge, ive never seen one in my entire life, so does that make it a bad cartridge? Because, unlike the 50 AE and the 45 ACP, the 10mm is big, compact, AND fast. It has over double the energy of the heavy 45 loads and upwards of 40% more speed. It also handles closed to a 9mm, giving your skills more overlap. 50AEs are a meme gun with little practical use, theyre huge, heavy, and have a decent failure rate. It weights 6 pounds loaded, at that point, bring a shotgun. Outside of elephant guns, next to the 44 Magnum, the 10mm is hands down the best cartridge you can carry in a handgun for large game. The 10mm outperforms the 45, is much, much easier to carry and shoot than the 50, and it has over to double the rounds of either. When your body is dumping every drop of adrenaline it has in your system making your hands shake, youre going to need all the shots you can get. I would not trust 7 rounds of 50 AE in a fat jam fest of a gun or 7 rounds of slow bulky 45 ACP over 15 rounds of 10MM with my life.
i was about to say. lmao. what was that speeder behind em? I was goin "bro you cant just leave em there you gotta call the game warden or else you have 1 star"
RIP Moose. Fucked around and found out. I feel extremely bad for the Moose, especially seeing it moving after being shot, but if it were me, I'd open fire too. It's your life or the animals, the wilderness doesn't play nice.
Self defense is hard. Once you fire off those shots, and it hits vital organs that can't be repaired. It's over. That decision is irreversible. But it's either you or whatever you're shooting at.
Yeah. I can't imagine having to make a decision to kill the poor animal and take away its life and give it that agony in its last moments of life. It's tough especially when u think about it later after u calm down and adrenaline wears off.
Honestly, I'd say the cameraman handled this situation as good as anyone else could have. He attempted to fend off the animal multiple times with sounds/gestures before he even pulled out his firearm. He was even so hesitant to the point of allowing the moose to actually strike a minor blow before pulling out his firearm. I do feel for the moose as i'm sure everyone else in the comments section does... even including the cameraman with how hesitant he was to open fire on it. However, with any more hesitation it could have very well ended up being the man's life instead of the animals. So this is a perfect example of why it is actually good for responsible people to be able to protect themselves with firearms or be able to exercise the 2nd ammendment.
Yes man I agree one hundred percent with you the only thing I would remotely have a problem with is how many shots he fired into the moose maybe he should have just put a bullet or two in it and drove away no death was needed in this situation but yet again I agree 💯 percent with u man this was tit for tat situation
Because most other animals run and he was obviously inexperienced with moose? Sometimes there's no more complicated answer than "the guy didn't know this specific piece of information."
Yeah, the rule with moose is that you stay away from them. They're extremely aggressive animals and will almost always have a fight response rather than a flight response. I've called out of work before because there was a moose in the parking lot of my apartment building and those bastards will straight up destroy your car if you drive it towards them lol.
@Nate W I had someone tell me like 3 days ago fmj can't be used to kill animals. I mean maybe I was dreaming but every single deer I ever harvested was with 150-180gr fmj because its what I had to use, I started reloading when I was like 12 years old because all this so called "white privilege" we had, if we ddnt shoot it, we didn't eat. If we didn't cut down the trees, split and stack them, we didn't have heat. The sorry state of humanity's level of brain activity since internet/social media is absolutely disgusting. Half+ of these comments saying he needed to turn around or he shouldn't have proceeded, never knew ppl would openly advertise they were that dumb. This person did everything right, he stopped. He tried to scare it away first, and ur right, it was a damn good shot, I know ppl that couldn't put 1 down with a 270-30-06. Someone needs to.gice this person a pat on the back.
@Nate W my best friend guides bear and swears by his 10mm, I think it was last year he dropped 1 that pulled his dog into a den with it. Its a great round.. I did ask the fmj guy, because he was from a diff state originally if it was a law where he was from, but he couldn't even tell me that. Its crazy how easily ppl are swayed 1 way or the other with little effort. 1 example I catch soo much hell online for a light I have on 1 of my g19's because of the name on it and they say its not dependable, but i shoot prob a minimum of 1200+rds 9mm a week and its been on there for 2-3years ish? It cost less than half of a surefire and its 2x as bright but because of 1 article about a bulb failing they're all junk now?🤦🏼♂️... ppl are funny things sometimes...
@@madman-fr3rx iv've been told by my dad's landlord who guides up in alaska that he'd been with a guy and they were charged by a grizzly bear, the guy he was guiding had a 10mm fmj, turns out the bullest barely penetrated 4 inches into the muscular chest, had he not hit the head twice the bear would have mauled one or both of them. So naturally im going to have a 10 with me through bear country.
In Sweden there was a case where a woman was killed by an adult moose. The police initially thought she had been run over by her husband's commercial lawn mower (with active blades of course). That's the level of violence they can inflict on you.
Of course he wouldn't have needed to defend himself if he didn't drive like a mile chasing around a moose lmfao. Moose, like THE MAJORITY of animals, aren't aggressive unless you attack or harass them. Name me the most aggressive animal you know and I know for a FACT that it'll NEVER randomly attack a human unless provoked... even alligators and crocodiles ARENT AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS HUMANS. They ONLY become aggressive when you're in their space, and are perceived as a threat..... like humans do... an alligator attack is essentially the same as if some crackhead busted down your door and ran into your house... you don't know what they're thinking, all you know is someone that's not supposed to be there IS there.
Notice how he fired a warning shot? Edit: This comment was fundamentally a short rebuttal to any people who would scream about "shooting a poor animal" or doesn't understand the obvious points that are made in response to this comment.
@@SethACook Why would a moose not "care about a warning shot"? Warning shots commonly work with animals. They don't know what a firearm is, or what it means to them, but they do get frightened by very loud noises. The noise is quite traumatizing to an animal, and why you point it in their general direction so they will receive maximum concussion, noise and violence of the shot. The problem in this video is he waited far too long, where his actions agitated her far too much, so when he finally took it, it failed. An earlier shot likely works, as does other actions he could have taken. But like him, you just learned that moose will become aggressive when threatened. So simply, don't threaten them by approaching, attempting to scare, push and trap yourself within feet of them and you won't have to think about all these complex actions because it would not have been an issue. Stop as soon as you see an animal, give them space and time to leave without threat and they will do it almost every time.
Exactly. He wanted an excuse to use the damn gun. Everyone knows moose are aggressive as hell. Not only did he proceed to pull up on one, not only did he get too close multiple times, but he also was making loud noises which any animal can see as a challenge or threat, especially and already aggressive animal. Everyone sitting here excusing something that was far beyond avoidable.
@@hatinlife5259 He gave the moose many verbal warnings, along with pushing it back and it kept coming towards him. Not only that it was a narrow path and I'd sure as hell rather shoot a Moose trying to hurt me than go into the woods and possibly encounter something more dangerous. Edit: Many people hunt Mooses for fun.
Red Dead Redemption 4 looks hella realistic! Too bad that he's only gonna get a one star pelt after shooting it with a pistol instead of a hunting rifle.
Let me get this straight, he drove up closer and closer to the moose, aggravating it by yelling. Then was surprised when it attacked him? Some people are just moronic. Next time you see a moose on the trail, turn around or give it its space and wait. We’re not on this planet as the only species
More like tried to scare it off with yelling. The only “moronic” part was getting closer but even then he practically had no where else to go from the looks of it. I’ve never ridden a snowmobile so I can’t be sure if he can get out of that path. Plus the moose was coming back for a 2nd attack. Most people will shoot after the 1st and not wait to see if the animal will run away.
Notice how the first shot he shoots purposely misses and shouts, he only starts actually aiming for the moose when the warning shot doesn't stop it from moving torwards him.
Yes, at this point the warning shot was too late as she was already agitated and coming. It may have worked if he did it before or at the time of her initial warning, but that is conjecture since once he pulled forward, she was in control. The way to avoid this was before he pulled forward.
To people that feel bad remember moose weigh well over 800-1000lbs on average and one well places hoof and you are very dead or wishing you were. A guy our grandpas used to hunt with got both his legs broken by a moose while they were in Branson hiking and if they didn’t shoot it it would’ve continued diggin it’s hooves into him. They aren’t deer they can be very territorial and aggressive.
Bro some moose get hit by fucking cars and don't even budge a single inch. Theyre fucking terrifying. Im lucky I don't have to experience them, but if I ever go to Canada or anywhere that has moose Im gonna prepare for the worst.
@@GutterWizard27 1. He didnt taunt it. He was trying to get it to move. 2. He literally couldn't turn around. Literally impossible without risking safety.
@@GutterWizard27 man i also thought about that but do you really think on Such a small track Turning around while behind you is someone is a good idea? Not just that He would have manually turned his Vehicle around because He couldnt turn otherwise, He also must have turned his back against the Moose and if He is turning around both hands on vehicle and the Moose decides to run straight up him you think He wouldve got a chance to put out his glock and shot him down in maybe 2 seconds ? Also this is 9mm, some of those Animals May take a full magazine and dont go down...this was a child i think and also precise shots...so i think in this case better safe then sorry...also turning around would have neen nearly impossible i think this snow mobiles weigh some 100kgs i think and on such a Small Track with someone behind you difficult....also imagine if this was the only way back what should have they done
You could have attempted to avoid the confrontation, you basically challenged it. Had you any respect you would have calmly let it pass and not rode up on its personal space. You antagonized it because you wanted to test your mettle or should i say, metal. Poor moose, this is a sorry excuse of a human being with an itchy trigger finger. Im not against defending yourself in a moment of danger but you clearly were the antagonist in this plot.
He made mistakes that yes all but forced her to attack, but once she did he was legitimate in shooting her. He was far from having an "itchy trigger finger".
I’m a hunter and he was smart to do that but it still is sad when some animals die but it was common sense self defense if he didn’t do that it could have ended badly for him
Agreed that his only real choice was to shoot her when he did and he was legitimate in doing so. Problem is, he all but forced her to attack. He should have stopped as soon as he saw her, which gives her plenty of time and space to hop off the trail. He should have avoided this...
So you telling me he will run up on a bear like that no. All y'all on some bs. Shot it for no reason he pulled up on it when he could have went around or turned around or waited it out he approached it. And I bet money he would never have done that if it was a bear so chill y'all sound stupid
6 years ago had a coworker die. Hit a small deer in his pickup. Went through the windshield. Still alive and kicked his head in with hooves in the cab. Deer was 100 lbs at most. Hooves are no joke.
To a pussy..... Those things aint gonna kill me they just charge, look how slow and cumbersome it was here, id fucking poke its eyes. Its NOT gonna ram me im fast af and will side step it for days
He didn't fire a warning shot.. and fyi, warning shots are illegal and will get you in serious trouble. NEVER fire warning shots. Not at people and not at animals.
@@JTheraos it's illegal when there's civilization around, the dude was in the middle of nowhere and not only that you're replying to a 4 year old comment.
For anyone wondering how a Glock took out a moose, chances are it’s a 10 mm conversion which is very popular for self defense while hunting and is a very potent round. Sure it’s not rifle caliber but there is a lot of energy in that round (Yes Glock does make factory 10 mm, conversion is less likely. Few comments mentioned that and they would be correct)
@@HoomanPlays lol the fact that ur tryna sound smart that what he said is correct, Glocks aren’t known to put PEOPLE let alone moose who are tanks down.
@@brandonpina3678 yes they are tf u talking about. It’s the round, not the gun it’s fired from. Which common round from a glock would no incapacitate the average human attacker?? xD
for those wondering how it took down the moose, I'd say its boiling down to shot placement and the fact that the moose was facing towards him and not to with his side to the shooter or some other orientation. He probably landed some lung/heart/head shots after all he shot 5 times.
I've been told that, despite their size, moose ate far easier to drop than elk. But that's just hearsay on my part. Never seen a moose get shot before. I have seen elk shot and I know they can take a lot of punishment.
@@CreativeProductions- Well unfortunately many people "think" they have the skill, but there is a huge difference in hitting a target in a controlled setting, and doing so in a high stress situation, after just being attacked and know you have a few seconds to save your life. So you and @blanks can theorize all you like, but confidence is far different than capability. I can't tell you how many times I have seen those confident and vocal tough guys fail and melt in a heap when encountering stressful situations. And BTW, the fatal shot that put her on the ground was to her spine just at the front shoulder. I am quite confident that is NOT where he was aiming... So again, "luck" helped him greatly, especially with the underpowered firearm he was using.
intresting how the moose was evaluating his foe, like "no horns, probably weak or defenseless" and then didnt even understood how he died. He just met the planet apex predator.
I’ve had people ask why I would where a helmet while on snowmobile, or carry my gun... well, here you go! Both just saved this man’s life. Good on ya Tex! I hate to see an animal need to get out down, but that was a clean shoot all day long.
@@Mazer777s yes we are animals too. If that moose would have charged a bear or vice versa one of them would have been killed. The difference with this man was that he tried to warn the moose off multiple times and then defended himself. He's simply an animal defending himself.
@@Mazer777s moose can run extremely fast (up to 35mph). Without some form of fast vehicle you're not surviving without a fight. That snowmobile would not have been able to outrun the moose
Everyone is a fucking expert on what he should have done, dude's adrenaline was probably soaring as shit, he got attacked, he had to use a deadly weapon, not your everyday experiences.
Most normal people would just turn around or wait it out. This guy only went to the Moose knowing he has a gun for protection. A big loser is what the shooter is
People complaining or hating have no idea how strong and massive the animal truly is he’s lucky he didn’t get seriously injured Edit: the amount of replies from all these know it alls who think there iq is 10x what it actually is telling me everything wrong with the video and my comment like I care💀💀
@@WinstonWolfe21 This ain't a deer! I live in AK and see these things all the time, at least once a week while biking. They're not usually aggressive but trust me if it doesn't kill you the first time it charges, youre definitely not going to give it a second chance. These things are MASSIVE! So many dumbasses in this comment section thinking they'd put the life of a moose before their own. Fuck that. If the guy wasn't up on a snowmachine then he would've been trampled and killed in the first charge. Even the act of sticking him with his hooves could've injured him, as benign as it may have looked on video. It's easy to criticise the outcome as an onlooker but that "second or two" could've been the end of him.
@@WinstonWolfe21 how about you meet Moose yourself. I never saw moose in my life, but I've got hit by a goat before. That thing's hit hurt like hell, can't imagine what Moose can do to me.
@@jomacba this isn't entirely true though. you're aloud to carry non-restricted firearms in the wilderness for protection against big game for this very reason. That obviously doesn't include handguns, but that doesn't really matter much anymore since they're likely going to be banned.
for those who have not noticed. the first time he intentionally missed when he shoots, hoping the moose would run away, but unfortunately the opposite happened. the moose tried to attack him again, leaving him with no other choice, only to shoot him
@@RandomMackem0069_Official oh stfu. You’re in the middle of the woods with an animal that can kill you, and you’re trying to armchair quarterback his fear and what he should’ve done? Literally stfu. He survived. The end.
Im pretty sure the first 2 missed shots were just bad aim If he really did want to throw an warning shot he would have fired towards a random direction not 2 centimetres away from the mooses head (first miss) or literally missing the mooses legs by a inch which is clearly not an intentional miss (second shot)
He’s lucky the moose missed most of his strikes on the first attack. Imagine getting kicked in the face by a wild horse, they are nothing to play around with.
When the moose first turned around he immediately started following which the moose took as a threat. Should have waited 10-15 secs to see if the moose went off-trail.
You are speaking to a potential gift she gave him and while it is true had he remained stopped, she may have left. Problem is, that is conjecture and there is no way to know as she controlled the situation. The time to avoid this was before he pulled forward, when all he needed to do was the same action you indicated in stopping and waiting. He had multiple options at that point, but all of those evaporated 15 seconds into the video.
@@realtyrocks1969 She was blocking the trail in front of him, there was not enough room drive by. Attempting to do so puts you and your buddy in worse risk and is a bad choice. With the conditions if you don't hit that high soft shoulder at the right angle it will want to pull him back into the moose,or push him into the trees with little time to compensate. Even if he does make it, now you have a moose within one stride that likely charges you as you try to pass, and even if she misses you, your buddy is now in worse danger and is more likely to be attacked. So again, the time to avoid this was before he pulled forward, not after.
@@BPRescue then turn left and get out of sight of the moose or turn around or stay put and it would have likely left. When he started calling it in of course it came closer. Dude is an idiot and should be charged. What's next you going to start scratching a bears ass and then use a gun to defend yourself when it attacks? It's like starting a fight with someone and then shooting in them in self defense. I've came within 10 feet of moose many times and just casually walked away and they leave you alone. I never started yelling yip yip yip and calling in closer. It came closer because it doesn't know what that sound was. It came to investigate the noise not attack him. If you don't see the problem please stay out of the woods, especially if you carry a firearm.
I would personally never go hiking, sledding, whatever in the wild without a gun. A friend of a friend got severely mauled by a grizzly a while back and nobody had a gun in the group. It was a miracle he survived quite frankly.
I don't think a lot of people are aware of how dangerous a moose can be, this one definitely seemed a lot younger and they typically aren't aggressive in most cases but my bet is the snowmobile spooked it, but even a young moose can scale 300-500 pounds of pure primal fury if pissed off, I'd say he got lucky because if it was a full grown male he very well could have been entirely screwed, males get up to 7ft tall and weigh 1,500 pounds depending on what kind of moose it is and there would be no stopping it if it charged. Sad that he had to put it down but this could have gotten really bad really quickly for him, unless you have been in a situation where you're charged by an aggressive animal (especially something this big or bigger) you don't really have much time to think about what you should or shouldn't do, it's live or get mauled, and I think just about everyone would happily pick the first option. Edit: holy f#ck balls 360 likes?!
Yea, once I saw a fully grown moose in the forest. While I was all lone and without guns. It was so huge, I couldnt believe that such a big animals can walk in wild freely. It was like 100 meters away from me and as it seemed, it didnt saw me. I just got the fk out of the forest as fast as possible while bassically being on the ground so he doesnt see me. I was really scared that moment holy jheez.
Also i wonder is it any way to defend myself without guns? Or like what the damage can they do? Like bite and break bones? Or just kick real hard like horses?
@@bamf6603 break bones, trample you to death or gore you if they have some sharp horns, none of those are a good ways to go, it's usually best to steer clear of them for the most part but this guy didn't have much of a choice but to protect himself, sounded like their were other people around in the video as well, it's sad but these things happen, not many are killed by moose attacks but I'd say an fewer than 10 people a year are killed by them (non car accident related) but in those cases it's quite brutal.
Do you think him moving forward at 0:36 while the moose was backing away had anything to do with the eventual confrontation? Do you think that forward movement made it feel threatened or was it likely going to try to confront him right from the start?
I lived in Maine for 2 years as a kid. I remember one time a moose ran head-on with a train, because it was in the moose’s territory. Obviously the moose lost the fight, but it wasn’t afraid. I saw one in person, and it’s almost comical how HUGE a full grown bull moose is.
First moose I saw was driving in the early pre-dawn morning in Alaska. My jaw literally dropped and my heart raced as it lumbered out of the ditch. Just a massive black shape.
"he murdered the animal!!" my brother in christ that moose was going to fold him off the snowmobile and pull his innards out with its hooves, that moose is NOT a friendly guy
While I agree he had no choice but to shoot her when he did, there was no real danger and this was avoidable when he first saw her. He created the danger and all but forced her to attack, then yes, him to shoot her.
@@blazingsummit You're an emotional tyke, huh? Well, it appears you don't get outdoors often, certainly having no knowledge of moose. Quick lesson; moose will become aggressive when threatened, so it's best not to threaten them. The rider threatened her by approaching, attempting to scare, getting too close, and even pushing/pursuing her after she bluff charged and was walking away. With his actions, he gave her no option than to attack him, and him to shoot her. As this video starts, this was a normal moose sighting you can expect while riding and of no danger. Had he simply stopped and gave her time/space, they will hop off the trail almost every time. He had multiple options at that point, but all evaporated 15 seconds into this video with his actions and he was now in trouble. The choice was his, she reacted normally as they will in such a situation.
@@BPRescue bro said I don’t get out often, and no, he didn’t threaten her, he was using the same thing everyone is told to do, standing your ground and acting unintimidated, female moose can absolutely will bully anything smaller than them my dawg, they’re literally just steroid deer
@@blazingsummit "bro", you never said " I don’t get out often", I established your lack of knowledge by your actual comments. It continues to be displayed in your continued statements. Nobody, meaning no knowledgeable or reputable source will tell you to "stand your ground and act unintimidated" with any moose, bull or cow ("female"). I just explained to you that moose will become aggressive to address any threat, and size does not matter. Small or big, if you approach a moose and they perceive you as a threat, they will often become aggressive like you just saw here. They do this with animals, people, vehicles and are even known to charge trains. In the end I already told you what all experts will tell you with moose. Stop as soon as you see them, and never approach them, but instead give them space. If they start to show aggression, this means you need to move away from them if possible, not attempt to scare them. I recommend a little education on moose before you start to speak of their behavior because taking the wrong actions like he did here with certain animals will get you into a lot of trouble.
That was unreal! Exactly the reason I NEVER go into the woods unarmed, even walking in the woods with my children I am locked and loaded. Well done, Sir.
That seems quite dumb walking around with a cocked and loaded gun. Plus, tribes in third world countries manage quite well without guns to defend themselves. Why do you need one?
Damn, as soon as the moose charged that was scary. You do NOT want that thing jumping and trampling you. He had no choice but to shoot it. He tried to get it to move, when he fired a warning shot it didnt even flinch, if anything it got pissed off. Too bad but had to be done
What do u mean he had no choice? He could've circled around the moose without bothering it and doing the "huhuhu" sound. The moose felt threatened and yet the dude kept doing that noise and even approached closer.
I like how he tried literally everything to ward it off before finally killing it as an actual final resort. Making loud noises, shouting, even giving it a warning shot. Respect for giving it every chance it needed. god damn over the month this comment has existed people have been flaming me and calling me names. The thing is that snowmobiles like this one can’t reverse, and there’s likely people behind him, so he can’t turn around or wait for it to leave. There’s really nothing he can do besides move forward and hope it doesn’t attack him.
he didnt stopped as soon as he saw it, he got closed, didnt back off when the moose gave him a "warning charge" , if he would have done this 2 things he would deserve respect. lets hope that at least he called the park rangers or whoever is in charge of preserving the wildlife in that zone.
Seems you don't understand the situation. Everything he "tried" to do in "warding it off", is the opposite of what you should do and what all but forced her to attack him. He should have stopped as soon as he saw her, and this works itself out almost every time. He had multiple options to avoid her, but rather than taking those options, he immediately tried to scare, push and get too close to her. He actually did well once he started shooting, including the warning shot, which surprised me because he failed miserably before. I can't give him any respect because his actions created the danger, and "respect" for her would have gotten both of them out of this unscathed. He clearly did not want to shoot her, and yes was legitimate in shooting her after she attacked, but again, this was his fault. Knowledge, experience, respect, common sense, even fear means you stop when you see an animal in the trail, especially one of the most dangerous in this country. This was a common moose sighting with no danger until his actions made it a complex fight for his life.
@@ukraine702 I agree with you for the most part, with exception to backing up when she gave him the warning and bluff charge. Backing up, and/or leaving his sled at this point was of severe risk that put him in worse danger. After the initial bluff charge you noticed her turn around to walk away, which gave him a 2nd chance to just remain stopped and it is possible she would have kept walking and hopped off the trail. This is conjecture though as he was now too close and she was in control. But as you saw, as soon as she turned and was walking away, he continued to rev and inch forward which is what triggered her to attack him over his sled. At that point she turned around again to walk away. It was at that point the action of pulling out his firearm and chambering a round triggered a 3rd charge. I can't fault him for pulling his firearm or shooting her as she started her 3rd charge because there was no other option for him and he was in grave danger. But the reality is this was easily avoidable as this video starts had he just stopped. Instead he immediately started to try and scare, push and get too close which as I explained gave her no choice but to attack him. As for the ranger, he was legally obligated to contact law enforcement ASAP so that Wildlife Services (Park Ranger/ F&G, DNR, etc.) could investigate, even ensure the moose was dead (it was). But touching or removing any portion of the moose in this situation is illegal.
@@BPRescue yeah if i was him right when he got charge the 3rd time i would have pulled the gun out and shot her too, of course i wouldn't have done the same before it tho at that point he had no other choice, tho at the end of the video we can see that there was another sled so im not 100% sure that backing up wasn't a good idea, stopping would have been better but i think he could have backed up all the way to his friend's sled. Unfortunately no one can change the past, rip for the moose and at least the 2 guys were fine
@@ukraine702 It’s a trail, he could’ve been closer to his destination going forward then reversing and risking an injury if the moose didn’t leave, not a lot of places he could’ve went but the moose couldve
He did shoot it in the head, you weirdo. Why do you think the nerves were firing with no brain connection? You obviously are ignorant or watched a different video. The Moose was dead after the 3rd shot.
You saw how the moose tensed up yes? It was already dead, its motor function completely shut down it wouldn't have straightened out if it wasn't already shot in the head.
Bro started barking in lowercase 0:32 Bro barking in uppercase (caps lock on) 0:43 Poor animal, it shouldn't have ended like that 😢 In memorial o MOOSE 🍀 May the soul of our dear departed rest in eternal peace. 🔥
Glad you and the other rider are ok sheesh. I do have a question: When discharging your firearm in self defense against a wild animal do you have to report it to fish and game so you can't be blamed for poaching or some other nonsense rule. Thank goodness you got it on camera as well.
@@nd_gunslinger_6264 I wasn't a 100% sure because I am not a gun owner or have been hunting before that's why I asked. Thanks for answering the question.
Guy did everything right, it was a completely shitty situation and this is a perfect example of self defense, but I think he should have put it down after the shooting.
Agreed at that point, put it out of its misery. I always feel bad in these situations because obviously this Moose is doing what moose naturally do. A human is in its territory and it’s going to defend it. Do I blame the human, no, but I still think it’s unfortunate that the human decided to approach it.
It’s actually illegal if you think abt it it’s wildlife probably not season and shoots it with a Glock it’s the mooses territory it probably had baby trying to protect it and I think it is just stupid to shoot a moose like that just move ok dumba$$ and I’m not trying to be a Karen
if a moose fucks me up and i down it with my firearm theres no way im taking the time to fully kill it, i need medical attention and i got a long way to go if i was where this guy is
Im not a wildman but i love watch someone taking a ride in the unhospitaly wild place. I just have a question : Why did he shoot on this moose and not on the grund or sky ? A moose is that aggressive ? Cause i dont love when someone, for any reason taking down an animal when it can just scare him..
Felt provoked. He's making sounds towards it as he steadily makes his approach, observes it more, and continues drawing attention. Moose is calm, not attacking, he continues to approach making the noises towards it, moose is unsure of what is happening, man continues approaching, moose retaliates in defense, moose backs off, man proceeds to approach and make noises, moose tries again to scare the man, but man brought a gun and fires.
You are certainly close enough to warrant the $500 square. This guys actions of approaching and trying to scare the moose were not only wrong, they created danger that previously did not exist. His actions threatened her where she did warn him, however the 2nd time she attacked him because as you saw, he continued to push her as she was trying to walk away. At this point there were many bad mistakes, with arguably the worst trapping himself within close proximity to her which only allowed one real option in shooting her when she charged/attacked. As maine said, this guy should have just stopped as soon as he saw her and waited. At a minimum this was as this video starts, and at this point was a normal moose sighting you can expect to see while riding in moose country. It was of no danger and to be enjoyed at that point, but that changed with his actions. If there is a defense for him, he clearly did not want to harm her, he just took a very specific action for a specific animal and situation, and applied it generally. Unfortunately, he clearly did not understand moose, otherwise he would have known any one of his actions were wrong, and all together in a nice little package all but forced her to attack him, and him to shoot her in self defense.
Anyone who has experienced a situation similar to this know that he did the right thing. It sucks and it’s unfortunate when that happens. But at the end of the day you have to take care of yourself first.
Ive been thru exactly the same twice, and i never had to kill the moose, turn off the machine and open up your clothes, the moose will run away as he picks up your sent.
@@benzvanrossum7962 All the guy had to do was get off the trail and go around the animal.

They starved to death in the deep snow. This snowmachiner didn't have to shoot the Moose but it gets lots of views and I guess that is more important.

Bare rations. Floating or attempting to ford the river...
Moose in many regions suffer a neurological infection off of lilly root microbes, seeming confused, over aggressive or overly docile. Do not doubt them, I have been chased and I have also almost sprinted into a goofy moose out of nowhere. They are not cows or horses, they kill people easy.
Similarly where a whitetail will flee a threat, moose will often become aggressive. This is normal behavior, so give them space, never approach or otherwise threaten them, and you will likely never have a problem. This video was no different.

Lesson learned, never bring a moose to a gun fight.
Actually one of the few ways to win a moose fight is bringing either a spear or a gun

If he took the meat or not is irrelevant in this situation. He wasn't hunting, he was surviving. And if he didn't have the ability to take 900+ pounds of meat with him everyone can rest assured that the moose fed many other animals out there. From birds to wolves to bears. Very rarely does a carcass go uneaten in the wild.
What is relevant, however, are the first 25 seconds of the video where an idiot is driving at an unprovoked but dangerous animal, provoking it to attack him.
@@iamjohnrobot maybe, but if you'll also notice he has at least one more person behind him (could even be a child) so maybe he chose to attempt to run the moose off instead of turn around. It is what it is. Maybe they only have enough fuel to get back to camp and can't spend any detouring or backtracking. Never be quick to call someone an idiot. The bottom line is the moose did charge and he did protect himself and others.
@@Redwhiteandtired so waiting (as wildness training would say) doesn’t solve every single problem you describe? Doing an extremely stupid thing against all advice is…. Stupid. He didn’t even attempt to not provoke a dangerous animal, he immediately did every imaginable stupid idea. He is an idiot and provoked the situation directly.
@@iamjohnrobot ok genius. Reverse a snowmobile on a skinny ass trail. Go ahead
@@yeedbottomtext7563 where did I say that? He should have waited, instead of driving at the moose and provoking it as we see in the first 25 seconds. Maybe you should learn to read, or watch. Genius

@@MynameisDUmassI’m so glad you’re an expert. Tell me, how would the mother moose, which surely was t that far away from its baby, react to finding said baby dead and its killer skinning/harvesting it? I’m sure it would all go down great, but since you’re clearly so well-versed in moose behavior I want to hear it from you.
@@jgamer2228 This was not a baby/calf, it was a mature shiras cow. Maybe slow down on the sarcastic attacks for situations you yourself do not understand. Emotion is irrelevant to this situation, or the protection of our animals and environment. Facts are.
With so many shots with a hand gun, that pelt probably poor quality.

I lived in Alaska for a decade. Moose attacks are far more common and often more deadly than bear attacks. I’m surprised this man let the moose even charge him in the first place. Respect to him for even giving a warning shot. Situation sucks but in the end this man went home to his family and friends and that is what matters.
He brought a 9mm handgun into moose/bear country instead of something like 10mm. He provoked a known territorial animal and continued to do so. Then after shooting it 4 times, he left it there to die a slow agonizing death. He's extremely lucky it was a juvenile female instead of a full grown bull with antlers or a momma bear with her cubs nearby.
That's what I have an issue with.
It is true moose attacks are more common than bear attacks.
I'm not really surprised he let the moose charge though, because his actions clearly showed he had no real knowledge or experience with moose. If he did, he would not have attempted to scare, approach, push, and trap himself within feet of one. Additionally, he would not have performed what should be known as threatening behavior without being ready for issues by having his firearm out and ready. It's evident he did not want to harm her, including your point of the warning shot, but the reality is his actions all but forced her to attack and per normal moose behavior, it was predictable she would do just that.
This was easy to avoid, and anyone with knowledge and experience, especially in winter recognizes the best action here is to stop as you see them on the trail. It was a common moose sighting at that point with no danger. So, you stop, give her time, enjoy the moment, but also start considering a plan B since you understand while it was not a dangerous situation yet, it could get real in a hurry. Plan B should have been that trail to the left that proves he had enough space to avoid her completely. While people with knowledge won't intentionally ride that close and trap themselves, if this occurred through accident, and to your point about letting the moose charge, my firearm would have been out immediately if I found myself where he stopped and she bluff charged. That is because I would have recognized I was trapped, and she was too close. So, at that point as soon as she starts to warn me, I am firing a couple warning shots. It's still conjecture on if it works because he was trapped and she was in control, but it had a far better chance of working now as she was not as agitated.
He actually did well once he started shooting and I can't fault anything he did, even the admirable warning shot after you were just attacked. But even that shows he did not fully understand that at best he had a 10mm, and it is tough to put a moose down instantly with a viable cartridge, let alone an underpowered one. Either way, I can't fault him for that and was surprised how well he did, since he made every mistake in the book before he started shooting and all but forced her to attack. In the end, he though he could scare her, and in his defense, these tactics work on any other animal he runs into here. As you know, moose are different...
@@SaltNBattery I won't get into the debate of a 10mm vs. the more powerful revolver here, but there are pros and cons to each side. I will however ask how you believe you can tell it was a 9mm just by watching a poor quality video where you would be unable to tell if he had a 19, 20, 29, etc. They are very close in size and you never got a good enough view to tell.
Additionally, this was not a "juvenile female", it was a 4-5 year old mature shiras cow pushing 800lbs. Being a cow, or antlerless is irrelevant to the danger he was in. Moose also do not protect or hold territory, but instead will become aggressive to defend self, calf, or during the rut.
Regarding a sow with cubs, they don't emerge from the den until early spring, which the conditions of this video shows it is not. A boar will come out of hibernation during the winter for a quick snack, and in that instance, this guys actions likely scares it off the trail, assuming the bear failed to leave as soon as he heard the snowmobile/before seeing it. Bears will almost always flee a mechanized vehicle like this, but as you saw, moose will not, especially on a snowmobile trail in winter. You have to be patient...
Finally, death is not like on TV where the animal falls peacefully and is dead/motionless by the time it hits the ground. If "4 rounds" were not enough, how many shots are necessary rather than allowing it appropriate time to pass? That was hypothetical as pummeling the animal with shots is just not appropriate, or humane. Regardless, it does not matter because once you are attacked by a wild animal, especially one of the most dangerous in this country, your only priority is to get to safety as soon as there is an opportunity and that was when she fell. Stopping for any period of time to assess her injuries is of great risk and potentially puts them in worse danger. The correct move was to ride past so that he and his buddy could get to safety. I would have came back, but again, it is unnecessary, not a legal mandate, and I would never recommend anyone do that because it puts them at risk. Sad yes, but once attacked, your only priority is escaping the situation.
@BPRescue You can argue all you want, no one who knows anything is going to argue that anything less than 10mm is adequate to even try to stop a moose. Realistically, any handgun is inadequate but if that's all you're willing to carry it needs to be enough.
You know what, I think you're right though. It's even worse than I thought, there's no rail. It's a 26. At 0:49 when he racks the slide with his finger on the trigger, you get a really good look at it. Play it at .25 speed, use ",-." to frame by frame. You see shells ejecting and the barrel when the slide cycles. Even before that The 19, 20 and 29 aren't close in size the 20's barrel is nearly an inch longer. I have a 17C, 19, 26, 43 and a gen 3 20.
Have you ever fired a 10mm Glock? I have, many times and there's no way in hell that's a 10mm subcompact. The recoil, the muzzle blast/flash. 10mm wasn't designed for a 3.75" barrel. There's a lot of flash and unburned powder.
I know how living things die, I've hunted all my life. I know how animals act when they're hit with a good shot and a garbage shot. Those were all garbage shots. That thing either bled out very slowly, with broken bones, or it drowned/suffocated. Again, slowly. I've hunted elk, caribou, boar, deer, coyote. I hunt with rifles, I hunt with bows. Never moose but I've been close enough to them to have been scared for my life. You know what we did both times? Got the f**ck out of there. Cause even with a 30-06, I'm not taking those odds.
The reason I said "4 rounds" is because it looks like he missed the first, maybe on purpose or accidentally. It's hard to tell with the others, he definitely hit it 2 times, probably 3, he might have missed that second to last shot too.
How many shots? Well had he an adequate firearm, 1-2 well placed shots. Had he had a 10mm, one aimed shot right below the animals ear, once it fell, would've put it down humanely. It wouldn't have taken more than a few seconds.
He got extremely lucky and I agree once he got to the actual charge, he didn't have a choice but it was his fault he ended up in that situation. He wasn't walking through heavy brush and just stumbled into that moose. He saw it from way back, maybe turned on his camera. He just assumed (incorrectly) that it would be scared of him and then he assumed that if he revved his snowmobile enough times, and yelled loud enough that it would run. It never should've gotten to that point. It actually looked like she was going to leave, then he revved again and started moving towards her. He challenged her in every way he could while sitting on a snow mobile.
Everything bad that happened in that video was this guy's fault.
Like I said, I don't care that it died, I'm more than fine with killing especially in self defense, I care how it died.

@@frugalspoon1446 I see you haven’t ridden a snowmobile before. Compact snow on a trail is easy to move in at any time, deepish powder is easy ish to move in when you already have momentum. When you’re at a dead stop and try to go through deep non compact stuff from a dead stop it is EXTREMELY hard to get through and especially at any speed that could outrun a moose. That side trail was also heavy wooded, meaning a lot of trap wholes do to the trees. Those are extremely easy to get stuck in and extremely hard to get out of ESPECIALLY hard to navigate through with any kind of speed. There is also no reverse on a snowmobile so his only option was to try and scare it away, when that didn’t work his last option was to shoot, did his best to prevent it but things happen and in nature there is no “let’s call it a tigh and go our separate ways” it’s life or death. And moose are naturally aggressive, they have to defend against large predators so the first instinct is to attack before they get attacked. One stop and crush a femur, and trust they don’t just do one stomp… they will stomp until you’re dead.
@@frugalspoon1446 if he just wanted to kill it he would have shot it/been prepared to shoot on the moose’s first attempt. He actually gambled with his life letting it attack him once, that thing could have snapped his bones like stepping on a dry twig. Lucky guy

But I’m confident that if you made a bear fight a human like a human (give it a gun) it will lose because it can’t fight like that.

I never lived in Alaska or nothing but I heard it before. And seeing in the comments, ehhhh yeah in the 3rd time that moose is coming for that killed.
Yes. Only the first charge is a feint. Second one is sometimes a full attack but is also sometimes just a stronger warning, small amount of physical intimidation. Third is almost always going to be an actual attack with killing intent. Rider made the right choice. He's lucky this one was a young female too. An older bull moose could have really screwed him or his snowmobile up on the second charge.
I don’t think people realise how dangerous moose’s are
Clearly he didn't, otherwise he would have never attempted to scare, push and get too close to her, which forced her to attack and him to shoot her.

@@gotmeatbruh4148 Interesting one of your many assumptions is that I have "never been around a moose", when your very comments prove you have no knowledge of the animal to any capacity. You take those Anthony Hopkins' movies regarding blood thirsty man eating grizzlies to an entirely new level of the rabid ungulate that attacks humans "once it spots you".🤣
Sorry to spoil the oil drum bonfire of your trailer park beer fest, but moose don't act in this manner. In fact, if you had any experience with moose, you would know as this video starts, this is a typical moose sighting one can expect while riding in moose country and of no real danger. If you had knowledge of moose behavior, you would understand that while there was currently no danger, the best action you can take is to stop as soon as you see one on the trail. With all animals this is a respectful option that limits stress while allowing them to flee on their own volition. But with "killer" moose, it also ensures you don't make the mistake of threatening them. Instead, immediately stopping at a distance allows them distance and time to consider options not without feeling threatened. While this tactic respectful for any animal you encounter on the trail, it is also critical for moose since once they feel threatened, they will often become aggressive as a defense and even attack just like you saw here. To be clear, the threat came from his ongoing attempts to scare her by yelling, revving the sled, riding forward and trapping himself within feet of the one animal that will not tolerate any of these actions, let alone all of them. With that wealth of experience you see no fault on his side, then revert back to the "killer moose" theory? Had he stopped when he first saw her and given her time, she hops off this trail, or turns and walks away almost every time. Keep in mind that stopping not just gives her time to work it out with limited stress, it gives you more time to formulate plan B in the rare instance she decides to walk your direction expecting you to yield. This is where the experienced person would have noted that single wide trail to the left as the video begins that proves there is enough space for him and his buddy to avoid her completely. Backing up is an issue, not just for the one valid point you made regarding his buddy blocking the trail, but also because it affords great risk and it is now a time you can't waste removing ice scratchers, putting it in reverse and even potentially getting stuck. While it was unnecessary, he even could have fired 1-2 warning shots early on that while showing he is a novice, had a far better chance of working than after he greatly agitated her with his ongoing actions. So, I now just gave you 3 low risk actions that had the best chance of working, yet you believe the best option was to immediately approach a dangerous wild animal, trap yourself within feet rendering your sled incapable of aiding in any real escape, and relying on an underpowered firearm to save your life? That is your best option for this scenario, when in retrospective you have a video that shows what happens when you threaten a moose, but also ignoring the fact she turned around twice in an attempt to walk away? I can't fault him for the 2nd time she walked away for her now 3rd charge outside of not have his firearm ready before he approached her, but these 1-2 gifts where all he had to do was stop as she warned, don't move or make noise and she continues walking the opposite direction. Yet he continued to be aggressive, rev his motor and inch forward in his attempt to push her. Sorry bruh, but you and I both know you have no experience here...
As for my firearms experience, you are vastly wrong there as well as I hinted when I started speaking of his "underpowered firearm". Point of fact, you really missed the target in every assumption you made.
Moose look friendly but they’re no joke. Big respect to this guy for being patient and only shooting when he knew there was no other way out of this situation.
Your first sentence is correct, but you went off the rails after that. While this guy did everything right after he started shooting, he did everything wrong before. His actions of trying to scare, approach, push, get too close and trap himself within feet of her escalated this and is what all but forced her to attack, and him to shoot her in self defense. Respect is inappropriate as this was easily avoidable, but yes, once she attacked, he did have the right to protect himself; even though his actions created the issue.
He should have shot earlier.
@BPRescue he might not have been taught how to deal with moose.
While it may not have been the way to go, atleast its obvious he didn't wanna hurt it. Hell he even gave a warning shot to try and make it leave but it instead charged him
@@jackbluehq6653 It's clear he had not been taught to deal with moose, but that is irrelevant. When you go into the outdoors, you respect nature and when encountering animals, you allow the animals to naturally move about their business with as little interference and stress as possible.. This means it does not matter what animal you run into, or if the animal is dangerous or not, you perform the same action. So, the appropriate action is to stop as soon as you see them on the trail, wait, and allow them to work it out and either jump off the trail or leave. You never approach and/or get too close to them. This action is even more important in this situation because as he just learned, scaring them will often force them to become aggressive.
But I do agree with your last sentence. He made many mistakes, but he did not want to shoot her. Regardless of intent, moose knowledge would have been helpful, but if he was an outdoorsman to any capacity, he would have known how to address it.

As a hunter it hurts to see you leaving the moose without making sure it's dead. Could lay there for hours and suffer before bleeding out.

@@coolrunnings1936 meat
For those who don’t know, moose attacks are way more common than bear attacks. They are extremely territorial animals and have no qualms about stomping you out. Unfortunately they are pretty much unfazed by bear spray and usually lethal force is necessary. When one is put down in self defense, the situation is immediately reported to fish and wildlife were they do a thorough investigation regarding the matter. This guy did everything right, he properly tried to ward off the animal multiple times but with no avail. He was charged at twice and only fired on the third attempt. It’s a crappy situation but he made the correct decision. Don’t worry the animals meat will be distributed by fish and wildlife to a local shelter. That is standard protocol.
yeah he did everything right, moved up to it by a few meters, stood his ground, and shot the moose for fun

To clarify a few things. One: Scavengers most likely got to the carcass much later on so no. The moose did not go to waste. Two: The bullets that hit the moose damage the hide, thus lowering the quality of the pelt. Either way. The guy didn't HAVE to skin the moose or take it home, it also is an adult cow. Not a baby. Who cares if he didn't take advantage and took the meat and skin home. Be greatful this man is alive and ok. Moose are very dangerous cretures and can\will kill you. There are many reports of poeple getting killed by a cow or bull moose.
Your comment is doomed to obscurity by clueless people but thank you.
@@OK-zo3cq Anytime. I got tired of seeing stupid people in the comment section, I am allergic to stupidity.
It is true that either scavengers or people will take advantage of this meat. However I am not sure what you are talking about regarding damaging the hide, quality of the pelt, or even that he could have taken it home. Taking any part of that moose would have been illegal here. Additionally, if he was actually hunting, by law he is required to take every usable part of this moose.
It is also true that moose are dangerous, which is one of many reasons why you don't approach them. And while many people are irrationally upset, they are not entirely wrong. As this video starts, this was a normal moose sighting you can expect while riding in moose country and of no danger. He created the danger by approaching, trying to scare and push her. Had he simply stopped as soon as he saw her, then this likely works itself out almost every time. interesting you attack others for their inaccuracies, but you yourself clearly don't have experience otherwise you would recognize this... In the end he did not want to shoot her, but his mistakes all but forced her to attack, and yes, him to shoot her in self defense.
The shooter was absolutely blameless in this. The Moose was a Menace. RIP Morty the Menace Moose.
@@Howie-f3z Not so fast. While it is true the guy was within his right to shoot her when she attacked, it was his actions of approaching, trying to scare, push and trapping himself too close that all but forced her to attack and him to shoot her. He should have stopped as soon as he saw her, and given her time and space to move on. They will do just that almost every time, and in those rare instances she continues walking, he had other options. Those evaporated however with his actions. In the end he created the danger, so I would not say he is "absolutely blameless".
I'm going to be honest, i'm surprised he escaped that first attack without puncturing or breaking something. that was a female moose and appeared to be about 5' tall. at that size, you can expect that thing to weigh about 600lbs.
now imagine a 600lb stainless steel refrigerator charging at you at full speed swinging hooves that are hard as cement with nothing but solid muscle.

I'm thinking that was probably a Glock 10 MM. I wonder if it was FMJ or hollow point ammo. FMJ gives better penetration against big game.
@@pmgg8906 In Moose and Wolf country a LOT of people are packing serious firepower if they're smart. It's not a concealed carry situation in the middle of a city. In Alaska, moose outnumber bears 3 to 1, and they injure around 5-10 people annually.
@@pmgg8906 I just purchased a glock 40 for carry in grizzley country and at all times when outdoors.
Did you just say the 10mm is obscure so buy a 50AE? lool
Availability of a self defense gun equating to quality is a silly argument to use.
The 500 nitro express is an extremely obscure cartridge, ive never seen one in my entire life, so does that make it a bad cartridge?
Because, unlike the 50 AE and the 45 ACP, the 10mm is big, compact, AND fast. It has over double the energy of the heavy 45 loads and upwards of 40% more speed. It also handles closed to a 9mm, giving your skills more overlap.
50AEs are a meme gun with little practical use, theyre huge, heavy, and have a decent failure rate. It weights 6 pounds loaded, at that point, bring a shotgun.
Outside of elephant guns, next to the 44 Magnum, the 10mm is hands down the best cartridge you can carry in a handgun for large game.
The 10mm outperforms the 45, is much, much easier to carry and shoot than the 50, and it has over to double the rounds of either. When your body is dumping every drop of adrenaline it has in your system making your hands shake, youre going to need all the shots you can get.
I would not trust 7 rounds of 50 AE in a fat jam fest of a gun or 7 rounds of slow bulky 45 ACP over 15 rounds of 10MM with my life.
Obscure? Lmao bruh you have noidea what you are talking about. A 45acp??? 🤣@pmgg8906

Honestly, I'd say the cameraman handled this situation as good as anyone else could have. He attempted to fend off the animal multiple times with sounds/gestures before he even pulled out his firearm. He was even so hesitant to the point of allowing the moose to actually strike a minor blow before pulling out his firearm. I do feel for the moose as i'm sure everyone else in the comments section does... even including the cameraman with how hesitant he was to open fire on it. However, with any more hesitation it could have very well ended up being the man's life instead of the animals. So this is a perfect example of why it is actually good for responsible people to be able to protect themselves with firearms or be able to exercise the 2nd ammendment.

Sometimes there's no more complicated answer than "the guy didn't know this specific piece of information."
Yeah, the rule with moose is that you stay away from them. They're extremely aggressive animals and will almost always have a fight response rather than a flight response. I've called out of work before because there was a moose in the parking lot of my apartment building and those bastards will straight up destroy your car if you drive it towards them lol.

An earlier warning shot may have worked, but failed here because she was too agitated.
it’s a moose. Not a human. They don’t care about a ‘warning shot’.
@@SethACook Thank you.
@@BPRescue Thank you.
@@SethACook Why would a moose not "care about a warning shot"? Warning shots commonly work with animals. They don't know what a firearm is, or what it means to them, but they do get frightened by very loud noises. The noise is quite traumatizing to an animal, and why you point it in their general direction so they will receive maximum concussion, noise and violence of the shot. The problem in this video is he waited far too long, where his actions agitated her far too much, so when he finally took it, it failed. An earlier shot likely works, as does other actions he could have taken. But like him, you just learned that moose will become aggressive when threatened. So simply, don't threaten them by approaching, attempting to scare, push and trap yourself within feet of them and you won't have to think about all these complex actions because it would not have been an issue. Stop as soon as you see an animal, give them space and time to leave without threat and they will do it almost every time.

Let me get this straight, he drove up closer and closer to the moose, aggravating it by yelling. Then was surprised when it attacked him? Some people are just moronic. Next time you see a moose on the trail, turn around or give it its space and wait. We’re not on this planet as the only species
More like tried to scare it off with yelling. The only “moronic” part was getting closer but even then he practically had no where else to go from the looks of it. I’ve never ridden a snowmobile so I can’t be sure if he can get out of that path. Plus the moose was coming back for a 2nd attack.

Yes, at this point the warning shot was too late as she was already agitated and coming. It may have worked if he did it before or at the time of her initial warning, but that is conjecture since once he pulled forward, she was in control. The way to avoid this was before he pulled forward.
Agree that the warning shot was necessary, however he should he fired it into the ground and not over the top of the animal.

There's a moose loose aboot the caboose
I like you johnney
Bro that was my pet moose Fred, I was just trynna collect some wood and maple syrup for my igloo with my nice red and black plaid :(
for those who have not noticed. the first time he intentionally missed when he shoots, hoping the moose would run away, but unfortunately the opposite happened. the moose tried to attack him again, leaving him with no other choice, only to shoot him
The moose wouldn’t have attacked if he didn’t get closer he should’ve kept his distance then moose wouldn’t feel threatened
@@RandomMackem0069_Official true, but adrenaline and fear makes you do stupid things, but also he couldnt back off, since it would take too long.
@@jaypolas4136 I understand but he shouldn’t have gotten closer in the first place
@@RandomMackem0069_Official oh stfu. You’re in the middle of the woods with an animal that can kill you, and you’re trying to armchair quarterback his fear and what he should’ve done? Literally stfu. He survived. The end.
Im pretty sure the first 2 missed shots were just bad aim
If he really did want to throw an warning shot he would have fired towards a random direction not 2 centimetres away from the mooses head (first miss) or literally missing the mooses legs by a inch which is clearly not an intentional miss (second shot)
He’s lucky the moose missed most of his strikes on the first attack. Imagine getting kicked in the face by a wild horse, they are nothing to play around with.
Yeah, he would have been off that snowmobile had that moose actually hit his mark.
he was probably wearing a helmet, either way, it could have been bad
you mean getting kicked in the face by a wild moose....? lol i mean getting horse to the face would suck as well, dont get me wrong
Yea I agree. One time we were camping in the woods and my grandparents dog almost got stomped by a wild horse!
Except they’re horses on steroids.
When the moose first turned around he immediately started following which the moose took as a threat. Should have waited 10-15 secs to see if the moose went off-trail.
You are speaking to a potential gift she gave him and while it is true had he remained stopped, she may have left. Problem is, that is conjecture and there is no way to know as she controlled the situation. The time to avoid this was before he pulled forward, when all he needed to do was the same action you indicated in stopping and waiting. He had multiple options at that point, but all of those evaporated 15 seconds into the video.
I totally agree
@@BPRescueall he had to do was drive by and not call it in.
@@realtyrocks1969 She was blocking the trail in front of him, there was not enough room drive by. Attempting to do so puts you and your buddy in worse risk and is a bad choice. With the conditions if you don't hit that high soft shoulder at the right angle it will want to pull him back into the moose,or push him into the trees with little time to compensate. Even if he does make it, now you have a moose within one stride that likely charges you as you try to pass, and even if she misses you, your buddy is now in worse danger and is more likely to be attacked. So again, the time to avoid this was before he pulled forward, not after.
@@BPRescue then turn left and get out of sight of the moose or turn around or stay put and it would have likely left. When he started calling it in of course it came closer. Dude is an idiot and should be charged. What's next you going to start scratching a bears ass and then use a gun to defend yourself when it attacks? It's like starting a fight with someone and then shooting in them in self defense. I've came within 10 feet of moose many times and just casually walked away and they leave you alone. I never started yelling yip yip yip and calling in closer. It came closer because it doesn't know what that sound was. It came to investigate the noise not attack him. If you don't see the problem please stay out of the woods, especially if you carry a firearm.
I would personally never go hiking, sledding, whatever in the wild without a gun. A friend of a friend got severely mauled by a grizzly a while back and nobody had a gun in the group. It was a miracle he survived quite frankly.

I don't think a lot of people are aware of how dangerous a moose can be, this one definitely seemed a lot younger and they typically aren't aggressive in most cases but my bet is the snowmobile spooked it, but even a young moose can scale 300-500 pounds of pure primal fury if pissed off, I'd say he got lucky because if it was a full grown male he very well could have been entirely screwed, males get up to 7ft tall and weigh 1,500 pounds depending on what kind of moose it is and there would be no stopping it if it charged.
Sad that he had to put it down but this could have gotten really bad really quickly for him, unless you have been in a situation where you're charged by an aggressive animal (especially something this big or bigger) you don't really have much time to think about what you should or shouldn't do, it's live or get mauled, and I think just about everyone would happily pick the first option.
Edit: holy f#ck balls 360 likes?!
Yea, once I saw a fully grown moose in the forest. While I was all lone and without guns. It was so huge, I couldnt believe that such a big animals can walk in wild freely. It was like 100 meters away from me and as it seemed, it didnt saw me. I just got the fk out of the forest as fast as possible while bassically being on the ground so he doesnt see me. I was really scared that moment holy jheez.
Also i wonder is it any way to defend myself without guns? Or like what the damage can they do? Like bite and break bones? Or just kick real hard like horses?
@@bamf6603 break bones, trample you to death or gore you if they have some sharp horns, none of those are a good ways to go, it's usually best to steer clear of them for the most part but this guy didn't have much of a choice but to protect himself, sounded like their were other people around in the video as well, it's sad but these things happen, not many are killed by moose attacks but I'd say an fewer than 10 people a year are killed by them (non car accident related) but in those cases it's quite brutal.
Do you think him moving forward at 0:36 while the moose was backing away had anything to do with the eventual confrontation? Do you think that forward movement made it feel threatened or was it likely going to try to confront him right from the start?
The man was in the mooses house. That was a b.s. killing.
I lived in Maine for 2 years as a kid. I remember one time a moose ran head-on with a train, because it was in the moose’s territory. Obviously the moose lost the fight, but it wasn’t afraid. I saw one in person, and it’s almost comical how HUGE a full grown bull moose is.
at least that moose died like a warrior

@@archvngxls 🤣🤣🤣 You made me laugh by laughing lol !!!
First moose I saw was driving in the early pre-dawn morning in Alaska. My jaw literally dropped and my heart raced as it lumbered out of the ditch. Just a massive black shape.
"he murdered the animal!!"
my brother in christ that moose was going to fold him off the snowmobile and pull his innards out with its hooves, that moose is NOT a friendly guy
While I agree he had no choice but to shoot her when he did, there was no real danger and this was avoidable when he first saw her. He created the danger and all but forced her to attack, then yes, him to shoot her.
@@BPRescue how in the fuck did he force the moose? The moose chose to be aggressive, it saw he was smaller and easy to bully
@@blazingsummit You're an emotional tyke, huh? Well, it appears you don't get outdoors often, certainly having no knowledge of moose. Quick lesson; moose will become aggressive when threatened, so it's best not to threaten them.
The rider threatened her by approaching, attempting to scare, getting too close, and even pushing/pursuing her after she bluff charged and was walking away. With his actions, he gave her no option than to attack him, and him to shoot her.
As this video starts, this was a normal moose sighting you can expect while riding and of no danger. Had he simply stopped and gave her time/space, they will hop off the trail almost every time. He had multiple options at that point, but all evaporated 15 seconds into this video with his actions and he was now in trouble. The choice was his, she reacted normally as they will in such a situation.
@@BPRescue bro said I don’t get out often, and no, he didn’t threaten her, he was using the same thing everyone is told to do, standing your ground and acting unintimidated, female moose can absolutely will bully anything smaller than them my dawg, they’re literally just steroid deer
@@blazingsummit "bro", you never said " I don’t get out often", I established your lack of knowledge by your actual comments. It continues to be displayed in your continued statements. Nobody, meaning no knowledgeable or reputable source will tell you to "stand your ground and act unintimidated" with any moose, bull or cow ("female"). I just explained to you that moose will become aggressive to address any threat, and size does not matter. Small or big, if you approach a moose and they perceive you as a threat, they will often become aggressive like you just saw here. They do this with animals, people, vehicles and are even known to charge trains.
In the end I already told you what all experts will tell you with moose. Stop as soon as you see them, and never approach them, but instead give them space. If they start to show aggression, this means you need to move away from them if possible, not attempt to scare them. I recommend a little education on moose before you start to speak of their behavior because taking the wrong actions like he did here with certain animals will get you into a lot of trouble.
That was unreal! Exactly the reason I NEVER go into the woods unarmed, even walking in the woods with my children I am locked and loaded. Well done, Sir.
That seems quite dumb walking around with a cocked and loaded gun. Plus, tribes in third world countries manage quite well without guns to defend themselves. Why do you need one?

What are you talking about
I thought he would have taken 39 shots or so anyway it's was small one
Remember. If it has flesh. It can have death
Damn, as soon as the moose charged that was scary. You do NOT want that thing jumping and trampling you. He had no choice but to shoot it. He tried to get it to move, when he fired a warning shot it didnt even flinch, if anything it got pissed off. Too bad but had to be done
Yeah, I understand he had to put it down for his safety, but how tf would a moose know what a warning shot is?
@@SupahBro535 loud noise could've scared it
@@SupahBro535 🤦♂️
Ur numb
What do u mean he had no choice? He could've circled around the moose without bothering it and doing the "huhuhu" sound. The moose felt threatened and yet the dude kept doing that noise and even approached closer.
I like how he tried literally everything to ward it off before finally killing it as an actual final resort. Making loud noises, shouting, even giving it a warning shot. Respect for giving it every chance it needed.
god damn over the month this comment has existed people have been flaming me and calling me names.
The thing is that snowmobiles like this one can’t reverse, and there’s likely people behind him, so he can’t turn around or wait for it to leave. There’s really nothing he can do besides move forward and hope it doesn’t attack him.
he didnt stopped as soon as he saw it, he got closed, didnt back off when the moose gave him a "warning charge" , if he would have done this 2 things he would deserve respect. lets hope that at least he called the park rangers or whoever is in charge of preserving the wildlife in that zone.
Seems you don't understand the situation. Everything he "tried" to do in "warding it off", is the opposite of what you should do and what all but forced her to attack him. He should have stopped as soon as he saw her, and this works itself out almost every time. He had multiple options to avoid her, but rather than taking those options, he immediately tried to scare, push and get too close to her. He actually did well once he started shooting, including the warning shot, which surprised me because he failed miserably before. I can't give him any respect because his actions created the danger, and "respect" for her would have gotten both of them out of this unscathed. He clearly did not want to shoot her, and yes was legitimate in shooting her after she attacked, but again, this was his fault. Knowledge, experience, respect, common sense, even fear means you stop when you see an animal in the trail, especially one of the most dangerous in this country. This was a common moose sighting with no danger until his actions made it a complex fight for his life.
@@ukraine702 I agree with you for the most part, with exception to backing up when she gave him the warning and bluff charge. Backing up, and/or leaving his sled at this point was of severe risk that put him in worse danger. After the initial bluff charge you noticed her turn around to walk away, which gave him a 2nd chance to just remain stopped and it is possible she would have kept walking and hopped off the trail. This is conjecture though as he was now too close and she was in control. But as you saw, as soon as she turned and was walking away, he continued to rev and inch forward which is what triggered her to attack him over his sled. At that point she turned around again to walk away. It was at that point the action of pulling out his firearm and chambering a round triggered a 3rd charge. I can't fault him for pulling his firearm or shooting her as she started her 3rd charge because there was no other option for him and he was in grave danger. But the reality is this was easily avoidable as this video starts had he just stopped. Instead he immediately started to try and scare, push and get too close which as I explained gave her no choice but to attack him.
As for the ranger, he was legally obligated to contact law enforcement ASAP so that Wildlife Services (Park Ranger/ F&G, DNR, etc.) could investigate, even ensure the moose was dead (it was). But touching or removing any portion of the moose in this situation is illegal.
@@BPRescue yeah if i was him right when he got charge the 3rd time i would have pulled the gun out and shot her too, of course i wouldn't have done the same before it tho at that point he had no other choice, tho at the end of the video we can see that there was another sled so im not 100% sure that backing up wasn't a good idea, stopping would have been better but i think he could have backed up all the way to his friend's sled. Unfortunately no one can change the past, rip for the moose and at least the 2 guys were fine
@@ukraine702 It’s a trail, he could’ve been closer to his destination going forward then reversing and risking an injury if the moose didn’t leave, not a lot of places he could’ve went but the moose couldve
He still could've gave it a mercy shot to the head just to be sure, unless he was expecting other moose to come and attack him.
He did shoot it in the head, you weirdo. Why do you think the nerves were firing with no brain connection? You obviously are ignorant or watched a different video. The Moose was dead after the 3rd shot.
You saw how the moose tensed up yes? It was already dead, its motor function completely shut down it wouldn't have straightened out if it wasn't already shot in the head.

Glad you and the other rider are ok sheesh. I do have a question: When discharging your firearm in self defense against a wild animal do you have to report it to fish and game so you can't be blamed for poaching or some other nonsense rule. Thank goodness you got it on camera as well.

@MR Juggy Thanks Juggy, I'm sure once fish and game seen the video it would be clear as day.
Guy did everything right, it was a completely shitty situation and this is a perfect example of self defense, but I think he should have put it down after the shooting.
Agreed at that point, put it out of its misery. I always feel bad in these situations because obviously this Moose is doing what moose naturally do. A human is in its territory and it’s going to defend it. Do I blame the human, no, but I still think it’s unfortunate that the human decided to approach it.
It’s actually illegal if you think abt it it’s wildlife probably not season and shoots it with a Glock it’s the mooses territory it probably had baby trying to protect it and I think it is just stupid to shoot a moose like that just move ok dumba$$ and I’m not trying to be a Karen
if a moose fucks me up and i down it with my firearm theres no way im taking the time to fully kill it, i need medical attention and i got a long way to go if i was where this guy is
Im not a wildman but i love watch someone taking a ride in the unhospitaly wild place. I just have a question : Why did he shoot on this moose and not on the grund or sky ? A moose is that aggressive ? Cause i dont love when someone, for any reason taking down an animal when it can just scare him..

Felt provoked. He's making sounds towards it as he steadily makes his approach, observes it more, and continues drawing attention.
Moose is calm, not attacking, he continues to approach making the noises towards it, moose is unsure of what is happening, man continues approaching, moose retaliates in defense, moose backs off, man proceeds to approach and make noises, moose tries again to scare the man, but man brought a gun and fires.
Totally agree. I've been in this situation on my snowmobile and I just waited it out from a distance.
You are certainly close enough to warrant the $500 square. This guys actions of approaching and trying to scare the moose were not only wrong, they created danger that previously did not exist. His actions threatened her where she did warn him, however the 2nd time she attacked him because as you saw, he continued to push her as she was trying to walk away. At this point there were many bad mistakes, with arguably the worst trapping himself within close proximity to her which only allowed one real option in shooting her when she charged/attacked.
As maine said, this guy should have just stopped as soon as he saw her and waited. At a minimum this was as this video starts, and at this point was a normal moose sighting you can expect to see while riding in moose country. It was of no danger and to be enjoyed at that point, but that changed with his actions. If there is a defense for him, he clearly did not want to harm her, he just took a very specific action for a specific animal and situation, and applied it generally. Unfortunately, he clearly did not understand moose, otherwise he would have known any one of his actions were wrong, and all together in a nice little package all but forced her to attack him, and him to shoot her in self defense.
so youre a girl, got it
Anyone who has experienced a situation similar to this know that he did the right thing. It sucks and it’s unfortunate when that happens. But at the end of the day you have to take care of yourself first.
Did he do the right thing getting so close when he could have set back until the moose moved on? Ya think?

All the guy had to do was get off the trail and go around the animal. With a lot of snow late in the winter moose starve to death and don't have the energy to get out in the deeper snow. The winter of 1991 21 Moose died on our property on the Kenai. They starved to death in the deep snow. This snowmachiner didn't have to shoot the Moose but it gets lots of views and I guess that is more important.
You did the right thing but personally I would've given it one more just to put it out of it's misery. Sad situation but sometimes there's just no other way and I'm glad this guy got to go home
The first thing he did was needlessly provoke a dangerous animal. That is wrong, you are either blind or a complete moron like the guy in the video.
Well, heart breaking. But sometimes. It's like the death penalty.
When they crumble like that they are dead. They may not be 1940s war movie dead but dont worry the soul is where the body is not
Or he could have simply driven off track like he did at the end
You’d have to clear the mag their brains are really tiny.
