She hangs around him, rubs against him, and when he's ready she plays hard to get by walking away, LOL. They really have a language all their own. Great video, thanks!!
Amazing video of the bull moose and.the behavior of the females as well. Great footage and such clear taping. Liked the interesting show. Stay safe! What part of Alaska? We visited there 4 years ago.
Old Banjo Nose is formidable and not to be trifled with. That they can move so gracefully and with such speed and silence always amazes me. Great video, thanks.
I think you were being foolish for being so close to active rutting moose. I have had a number of hair raising encounters with rutting moose, Not to mention losing a friend from getting a moose horn through the eye. But hey....it was some really great video....
You bring up an excellent point about safety. This bull certainly gave me warning signs that he was irritated with my presence, I was just so wrapped up in the moment that I missed the signs.
@@jasondelgatty3583 everything is a matter of risk vs reward and which is most important in the moment. It is not as foolish as many of the things I see every week where the reward is even less and the risk greater than in this video.
He was pawing away the sod so he will be down to fresh dirt and then they pee in the dirt and work to get that mixture of urine and dirt on their bodies, it’s like moose cologne.
@tky2289 Bull moose will stomp and paw a hole in the ground then urinate in it then rub their antlers in it and even roll in it. Cows will also roll in the pits and get the sceny on them
Wow, really nice footage and so up close & personal. Keep these videos coming. Any discount codes for thecCammPark camera? Solar & lithium is the way to go.
This is the most amazing video of moose in the rut that I've ever seen! I'm surprised a moose that size still had such a large dewlap. Usually the dewlap gets worn down over time, so big bulls don't often have big dewlaps.
Beautiful animals your so lucky to see something like this truly amazing I’ve never seen a moose before in my travels hope you’re safe love 💕 you’re video awesome
I was charged by a young cow three times in succession in Anchorage. It was very nerve wracking. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be charged by a full grown bull with a rack that size.
I’ve hunted big deer in northern Minnesota and love the hunt. One fall our hunting party had a moose family in the area; found a ground scrape that was enormous, 15’ x 12’ and really smelled musky. One of our hunting party had a cow moose walk right up to him as he was in his tree stand. She raised her head up and he could almost pet her. HUGE animals, quite intimidating! You’ve got a lot of guts, buddy! Keep up with the good work - just try not to get eaten by a Griz.
@@CogentConsult Thank you for watching and I’ll hear your good advice. 🐻 It is amazing how large most are. I’m around them relatively frequently and whenever I get close, I’m shocked by their size.
I do not have any experience with Moose and Maine, but I would venture to guess the relatively the same. This guy gave me lots of warning signs, but I was so wrapped up and what I was doing I didn’t heed his warnings.
They are pretty amazing animals. I’ve been filming the same bull the last few days. He is probably close to the same width, but has more mass this year. He’s been fighting a lot and has some broken tines. Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comments.
@@RaisedinAlaska Yes Sir I am still on the southwest side of Anchorage and still working for Atlee Dodge and enjoying Alaska, just haven't got out much..Counting the days ( months) till I get my residency..lol
That bull has some amazing paddles indeed and quite the neck to carry them. Wow what a great looking bull. Stay safe out there, too. I dont have to tell you about the bears that can ruin your day too. 😅 Great video showcasing moose behavior, thanks.
@@metalmamasue3680 Thank you very much. Looking back at the film he gave me a lot of warning signs, but I was so wrapped up in filming I did not heed his warnings.
I was so wrapped up in the moment that I did not apply the proper amount of caution or watch for the signs. He gave me signals, but I did not heed his warnings.
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with how you think about audio. On most of my videos I try to not cover up nature with music unless it’s something where the audio is messed up or there was an audio recorded. That said, on my Alaska Trail Camera channel most of my shorts have music.
@@RaisedinAlaska yes!!! But some same that the bear spray will attract Bears as well. Also there are videos of bear spray that did not work to stop a bear and the man got killed! Park Ranger in yellowstone a few years back. Plus other videos too! I also would keep a good 500 sidearm with me if I were you!! Back up!
HOLY CRAP JR!!!! Great footage, but speaking for those of us that would like to have you around for a while longer, BACK UP!!!! Either that or bring a saddle. 🤣
You are correct. I use the words as synonyms: however, the words do not mean the same thing. When I was editing the video, I noticed that I used the wrong word in the field, but by then it was too late to correct. Thank you for watching.
Thank you very kindly. I had this one coming. He gave warning signs, but I was so wrapped up in filming. I miss them. Fortunately, he was just establishing dominance and very forgiving of my encroachment on his territory.
It's truly hard to appreciate just how large they really are. Moose are enormous and a bit intimidating just for sheer size alone. Then they have such hardware the bulls. Great footage. ❤
You do not want to be on the receiving end of a rack that big. We have lots of moose here in NL Canada and I have seen what happens when they charge a car. Yikes!
You are correct. When I was editing this video afterwards, I heard that and hoped nobody would notice. I frequently use the terms interchangeably, but they are not.
@@RaisedinAlaska know very little about moose behavior. Will this male mate with both these females? Or will the dominant female drive the other female away?
@ Great question. Generally the cows do not all come into estrus (heat) at the same time, so if were to remain the dominant bull in the area he would breed each cow when she comes into estrus.
Moose make a unique sound, the cows frequently make a whine sound and the bulls will grunt. There are examples of both these sounds in the video and the bull grunts can be heard clearly around 8:28.
@@RaisedinAlaska What an amazing opportunity to witness this in the wikd. I've never seen this so up vl8se abd personal before. What a unique introduction to your channel !!!! So hi there , from a Nan in Aussie, I follow a whole host of on and off grid Alaskan homesteaders/ cabin dwellers. Question about the moose, as I was born & raised one of 7 siblings of dairy farmers in New Zealand I'm used to herd animals. Does one bull service a whole herd of cows or just one, of a few ? And does the bull stay with the herd year round? Were you quite close to film all that or do you just have a high quality zoom in camera?? I'm really impressed with my first video watch of your channel.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 Great questions: Moose don’t herd up the most of the year. In the spring in through the summer to is common to find cows with their calves. The bulls, more often than not, are or alone. In late summer, the bulls may form small bachelor groups, but the cows are generally still alone or with their calves. Late summer and early fall the bulls will shed their velvet and begin to spar and establish a hierarchy of dominance. As the breeding season nears, the cows will gather up, in traditional breeding grounds, and bulls will hang out with the cows. The dominant bull will breed as many cows as he’s able or until another bull dethrone him. After the breeding season is done, it’s not uncommon for bulls to form back into bachelor. Cows are generally more on their own, unless there’s great feed in the area.
@@RaisedinAlaska Thankyou so much for such an in-depth, informative reply to my questions. So greatly appreciative of the information and your time.

I hunted moose on the upper Yukon with the Upiq Eskimos more tundra the terrain was treacherous to walk in they mostly hunt from boats for a reason very difficult hunt you can hear them hardly see them
You're my idea of a man! Gentle to a bull moose, even if it charges you. Wish there were more men like you.

Can I ask what the moose was digging for? Time stamp 1:40
He was pawing away the sod so he will be down to fresh dirt and then they pee in the dirt and work to get that mixture of urine and dirt on their bodies, it’s like moose cologne.
@@RaisedinAlaska Ha, ha…moose cologne. Thanks for the description.
@@tky2289 There is a better example at 6:35 in the video just before all the cows go crazy and things get nuts.

I do not have discount codes, but I will reach out to them to find out.
This is special.. I am not only surprised he is letting you stay so close.. But the cows themselves.. Why are they not moving away the entire time ???
The rut certainly has an effect on them.
???Do you ever find any Moose antler's after they've shed them???
I have found sheds, but far fewer than I think I should given the amount of ground I cover.
Boy you sure had a front row seat , I learned a lot about moose I didn't know before, like how the female's cort the males so much, amazing footage.
Thank you so much, it was an incredible experience.

Are Alaskan moose more aggressive than ones from Maine?
