Please help me understand, I dont understand how you can appreciate the beauty of an animal and then kill it? what is the thought process behind having respect for the animal and its life... then shooting it, just dont get it. you say it yourself its not about the kill, then why kill it?
First of all, thanks for asking the question respectfully and thanks for watching the video in its entirety! In regards to the moose, or any other animal, I think it is the greatest responsibility to only hunt the oldest most mature of any species. Because of hunters dollars states, like the state of Alaska are able to take annual census of hunt-able species and from that info determine the health of each individual species which in turn allows them to set a hunt-able quota that not only will sustain the species for generations to come, but hopefully also improve it. These particular studies not only in Alaska, but other parts of the US have been able to identify certain diseases and because detected early were able to be treated and in some cases prevented the entire herd from dying off. Organizations such as WSF are transplanting sheep back into areas that once had sheep, but for one reason or another(wolves, disease, etc) entire herds died off, and now are new, healthy, sustainable herds. You must remember that these studies/transplants are funded almost entirely off hunters dollars. There are a lot of places throughout the world that if not for hunters certain species would not exist, Lions, leopards and elephants, just to name a few. Hunting is so much more than killing, but understandably for someone that detests hunting thats all they can see. Emotions don't allow them to see the big picture. I also understand it is difficult to wrap your mind around the fact that killing an animal can actually help the species as a whole.
You are so right about that. Oddly enough, it often seems as though the people who hunt are the only ones who care about the health of the animals they hunt. The only ones who know first hand, from personal experience, how the animals live and what they need to survive. Happy hunting.
How can you appreciate the beauty of a salad and then eat it? What a dumb question asked by someone who has never killed and then eaten their own food.
I don't know why, but it's always so astonishing to me the amount of hate hunters get, especially here on youtube. They have no idea how life really works, or how much good hunters do for our wildlands. It was a great video, and a great shot. Keep on keepin on, my friends

Hunters to normal people: "hunting is natural, we put the materials to good use, this is how humans live" Hunters to other hunters: "it's not about the materials or harvesting the animal, it's about the experience". 7:20 for reference
Hi, I'm a Wildlife Biology major, so I'm just going to put my opinion right here: People speak about how the world did just fine without hunters. But it didn't. Many species have run THEMSELVES into extinction because they breed in large numbers, lose their natural predators, or a sufficient disease isn't there to properly control their numbers. Pople think about how the native Americans killed all the mammoths, but mammoths were notorious for eating all the available food in a proximity and moving on, then another separate herd would follow them to find no food and starve, because the overall population of the mammoth was too large for the ecosystem to handle, therefore it began causing problems for other species too, both herbivore and carnivore alike. The United States is going through this right now: The white tail deer, one of the most populous large mammals on the planet, the US has an over abundance of them. They're eating themselves into death essentially because there are way too many of them for the ecosystem to handle (and this isn't a particular state, this is the nation as a whole!!), hence why some hunting seasons will give 40 to 45 bag limits because they are unable to control the population sufficiently, what's worse, is human expansion into forests has almost eradicated their natural predators (wolves, things of that nature) so the deer are continuing to breed with no predator to control their numbers, and while CWD is definitely happening, it's not controlling deer population fast enough or in a broad enough range, therefore, it's just wiping out small communities and reducing the gene pool.
But isnt Allah all knowing? So he would know before you even think about hunting that you will hunt for trophy and not for meat. So whats the point? Also, talking animals LuL
The Native Americans lived for centuries hunting wildlife and respecting wildlife, helping and protecting their environment. Our world has become synthetic entirely, with man-made products replacing food, and artificial elements replacing natural ones. I encourage free range animal harvesting as well as hunting. Hunting to excess is the problem we need to be concerned about. Hunting on it's own is just what it is. Something quite primeval and natural.
Giant Scorpion of the Apocalypse you do understand humans are at the stage we are at because we learned how to use our brains and intelligence as an advantage. Now why in the hell would you strip yourself of that, you sound fucking stupid dude
@montanadoctor actually it was the white man that was responsible for the sharp decline of the big game, buffalo in particular were wiped out quite literally by the millions for their hides, the carcasses left to rot. For too long have the white people (I am a white man by the way, married to an indian woman) been blaming the native americans for the whites own atrocities. Now the " civilized" people are throwing blame on hunters when it's their own fault due to the lack of understanding as usual. The most common reason for prejudice (and it is a form of prejudice) is the fear of the unknown, non hunters face a huge unknown and therefore quite commonly get angry with the hunters. Please educate yourself before throwing out propaganda that is absolutely not true.
Havent commented on a youtube video ever if my mind serves me right, but I had to here. I stumbled upon you're channel/videos today and I gotta tell you they are so well made. Transitions, music, and quality. Good job you have a new subscriber for sure
As an Algoma of the Sioux Nation I would like to thank the Hunters for the meat you have given our reservations over the years, you are welcomed every season to hunt on our lands, you fed our children and elders, you are good people..Thank You.
I love how you get all the people that have obviously never hunted before and dont understand a single thing about then they come to videos like these and talk crap. Most of them probably dont even stop to think what most food they eat even is. This video is a perfect demostration of hunting and the thrill of it you survive by hunting. Without hunting we wouldnt have most of the stuff we have today so people should stop complaining and start reliezeing that there is much more to hunting than just killing the animal.
To all those people saying they left meat behind, there was no mention in the video about leaving meat behind. I rewatched the video several times and this conversation in the video never happened. Its illegal to waste the animal you harvest and to have it on video "if they wasted meat" would be a quick way to get find and charged. Read a little bit more about the North American Model of Conservation and educate yourselves before you make defamatory remarks on a subject you clearly know very little on. In the back country the rule is the last pack out are the antlers, culturally speaking for hunters you get all the meat to the pick up point first then at the very end you get the antlers. Bush planes will make multiple trips hauling meat out and then at the very end fly out the hunters. But its easy to sit behind a keyboard making comments on something you have never done before. Hunters and legal gun enthusiasts have done far more then any other group for conservation. They through the Pittman-Robertson act they have single handedly raised literally tens of billions of dollars. Any other contribution to wildlife is a mere drop in the bucket. So maybe instead of criticizing hunters you should thank them for all the work done to restore the wildlife in North America to what it is today. I'm sure some of you will have some silly rebuttal or insult that you'll inevitably hurl my way but its okay cause I'm confident in my knowledge to handle others ignorance. Lastly if you eat meat and have hate for hunters you are the greatest hypocrites of all. At least these people work for their food, know where it was sourced and don't have possible 100 different animal remains in one kilo of ground meat. I'm not saying you have to become a hunter to have a clear conscious or be right, I'm just saying that being a little more self aware and a little less judgemental will go along way. Lastly for hunters if someone is being critical but not rude or simple asking to understand don't be an overt jerk and insult them. Instead inform and educate. We are the image that we want to leave behind and the way to make people understand isn't being a bunch of pricks. Its good to have the questions cause it keeps us honest and self reflect on why and what we do and thats not a bad thing to do every now and then. That was long winded but in summation, can't we all just get along....
This moose was caught above my hometown. Russian Mission, Alaska. It is illegal to leave the meat behind. & they did 🙄 please don't comment anything if you don't know the facts. There are many pictures of them on Facebook leaving lots of other moose meat behind around other villages too. They just take the antlers.
"Hunters and legal gun enthusiasts have done far more then any other group for conservation." Hunters have become many species extinct, it is a mistake to belive that paying to be allowed to hunt it's the only way to "help" these species. There is a natural balance that should be respected. Hunters do not care animals, if hunting was for free, they wouldn't give any money to animal protection organizations. The only thing they want is to have horns or skins in their halls as trophies.
Jon Yapp hopefully you have helped Wazzzock understand why big game is hunted. I love the way he started out he said, help me understand. I love a person who wants to educate his or herself to things they may not understand. For people to just jump in there and talk about things they clearly know nothing about gets on my nerves. Thank you Jon for you knowledgeable post. You helped me out also.
Actually there were 5 in total. The 2 that were mentioned were on a hunting charter the other 3 were on a commercial flight. RIP Harry Wrase, Steven Andrew, Aaron Minock.
I doubt all the dislikes on this video and hate comments are from vegans so what’s better? Having an animal live a happy life or an animal live beside thousands of other animals with no freedom and just raised to be eaten?
I’m surprised that there are so many dislikes. It was a great video and a great shot. Very nice trophy moose. Must be all the anti hunters and vegans that disliked the video.
Its About a once in a lifetime experience, to be out in nature, to help Fund Wildlife conservation for species in the Alaskan wilderness. The vast majority of conservation efforts for Wildlife are funded and paid for by Hunters dollars and it goes towards vaccines, research, repopulation efforts and population control.
Well, I prefere to be killed by being shot while walking around, than being chased and eaten by wolves or bears... not to mention this activity helps to found the national parks and protect animals from pouching... BTW what a fantastic place!!!! Im not really into hunting, but man, i would love to wander those lands
I’m hurting with you. My emotions come out to you. Two great men lost there lives in something beyond their control. I know the pain will always be there, but may the hunt help ease that pain. God speed yall.
One Hell of a Fine Shot My Friend. The Moose never knew what Hit Him, that's as good as it gets. Going to have some mighty fine eating on this one. It's a Hell of a lot better than the Super Market where some of these Fairy Folks think Meat is MADE. Be Well from Alaska.
Thank you! We try to put out high quality content and experiences for you to enjoy! We have exciting things coming to keep the channel more active. Stay tuned :)
For all the anti-hunters, just remember these animals are regulated by the DNR you have to have a license to hunt they controle the numbers. And they do serve a purpose, I am a life long hunter. If I kill an animal it is for food or its a nuisance animal. (Varmint) I wonder all that are bitching about the kill, are you all vegetarians?
Lifes Abeach lol you’re right they know everything about life I completely forgot that also they know everything better and are overall just a more evolved form of humans. What i like most about them is the way they brag about being better humans but they still won’t realize that most plants can feel too
That’s kinda different tho they killed one of the biggest moose ever that’s a animal you don’t see every day processed meat is from a animal that isn’t very rare or something
@@darkdodo3789 Large animals are often old and on their last leg, it's a much more humane way to go in a flash than to suffer in nature. Paying others to slaughter poor animals in horrible conditions is way worse than hunting. You have no idea what goes in to everything, from the knowledge, experience, gear, planning the journey, getting the perfect shot from the gun to the ammo that someone probably made for that specific rifle. It's not about that shot it's about the thousands of hours it took to get there. I have a lot of respect for people that hunt their own food
For those nay sayer, get yourself in the outdoors and experience the nature and the realities of the world and not this illusion of life. Do some hiking (not a two mile hike in your local park but in the wild - one of the national parks with deer, bears, and all critters). You'll quickly realize you have to carry at least a large caliber pistol with you for defense against bears and such and all of a sudden you realize guns are just another tool and not this evil thing. Next, you find yourself walking in the river and feeling the cold water and pebbles under your feet and thru your toes, and sooner or later if you have any adventure in your heart, you will fish and release, and next you'd catch and eat and you'll see how much better the wild fish is from this junk you buy at the store and now you're hooked ... (pun intended) ! Get up from behind your desk and your computer or whatever you do, be brave, get your hands dirty, experience life they way it has always been and is meant to be (Although the pendulum has swung the other way and people are getting further and further away from the realities of the world and are becoming inept in every dimension of life) and you will see hunting and harvesting for meat or mature specimens for management of the herd, or even trophy hunting is part of its normalcy!
Get real people food chains exist in nature for a reason. At least by hunting we’re doing in by way of virtue rather than dragging the calf to the back and blasting its head off.
Our way of life doesn’t depend on killing moose, so it has nothing to do with food chains. This is just killing for sport, which is not at all common in the animal kingdom. Animals kill to eat, in order to survive. Hunters - these types of hunters, that is - kill animals for the fun of it, because they’re sadistic parasites. It’s pretty pathetic when even wild animals have better human morals than humans themselves.
Jake Jerrison do you think they just threw that perfectly good moose away without using the meat and eating it? No. They most likely ate it, kept the horns as a trophy. No one would waste a perfectly good moose, especially since you’re only allowed to kill one per year I believe.
Found your channel last week and I’ve watched several of your videos. Best stuff on RUclips and better than most stuff on tv. Keep it up and don’t change.
I can watch deer shots all day and enjoy hog shots more than i should, but the moose is such a majestic animal... it's almost a darn shame to shoot one. I hope they never go extinct.
ITS DISGUSTING AND NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE LIFE FOR ENTERTAINMENT. SMH ITS DISGUSTING! DOESNT MATTER WHETHER ITS A DEER A LION OR A HAWK. THIS IS THE EXACT BEHAVIOR THAT MADE ANIMALS GO EXTINCT.
@@tyronedixon2672 you're painfully unaware that hunters are the reason many animals have not gone extinct by examining the population and implementing laws and rules. Look it up. People of the past gave no Fs. That was wrong but they're doing things right now.
@@thomasjefferson6334 IM NOT IGNORANT TO NOTHING! HUNTING WITHOUT A CAUSE SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! THEY NEVER GAVE NO F$%@ AND THATS WHY MANY ANIMALS ARE EXTINCT! I SAID WHAT I SAID AND WHAT I SAID ARE IRREFUTABLE FACTS.
What an amazing hunt. I’ve always imagined going to Alaska, Western Canada, Montana or places like that and helping the conservation movements that save bison, moose and other animals like yhat
Because you only kill animals for its flesh and if it's cold in winter, you kill it for the fur. Killing for fun is not an option and you don't have the moral highground here.
Folks, Hunting is the first step in conservation. God's blessing provided the bounty! I do have one question; how much of the meat did you carry out?...back straps for sure, tenderloin, ....two hams might be too heavy to carry out on foot!!
How about leave the horns to rot and tell me its not about horns! You and i both know thats what its about..big rack and freezer burnt meat that gets fed to dogs or thrown away but the horns..nope!! Keeping them...i get to brag to my friends while i BQ pork ribs...haha
These are such beautiful majestic animals. Truly magnificent beasts. I am not entirely opposed to hunting, as long as the animal is used, and not just a trophy. I am not opposed to hunting, but only if it is done under the auspices of research-based ecological studies that result in legally oversighted licences where over-populations are culled, and not poaching. I have no qualms about poachers being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Poachers are a nemesis. Clearly, you guys are working within the law, and it must've been a tremendous experience, but I hope, now that you have gotten one, that future shots are footage, not ammo. JMHO. Great filming, btw, and so sorry for the loss of your two friends.
Thank you! We agree they are truly magnificent beasts and all of our hunts are not done for the intent of acquiring the trophy. We take ALL the meat, Alaska it is the LAW to take all the meat before taking the antlers. We work within the law on all of our hunts. Thank you for watching!
It is my opinion that There is a difference between hunting for sport and hunting for sustenance. Vid I watched prior to this one was of a moose hunt as well but by a man and wife living off the land and that I find admirable. Those seeking thrills and profit , not so much.
Nature isnt some utopia, animals kill other animals, and some animals die slowly from disease. Dont forget we are animals, and only a few thousand years removed from our hunter gatherer ancestors. Hunting is completely normal, and only big city people removed from nature cant understand that.
in many parts in america and in other continents too,because most natural predators are extinct(because of us of course,but thats antoher topic) theres way too many elk/deers because they have no natural enemys and hunting is neccessary therefore. Antoher option would be to let wolves breed more open again and they would take care of the overpopulation,but many people are scared of wolves and they kill alot of farm animals too,mostly sheep
It never really bothered me before seeing hunting vids or w.e ,but damn y'all travel all the way to a Moose territory to kill it? He was living it's best life man, not bothering nooobody SMH
Why would you be okay with any hunting, then? No animal in history has ever done anything to deserve being killed, but it's still just something that happens.
I find it strange how we've gone from grabbing our gun and going out to hunt for food, to camo gear, plane trips, days of waiting and watching just to kill one animal.
IT IS about the kill. IT IS about being able to harvest an animal like that. Why else would you hunt. With moose hunting IT IS about the points and the width. Always show the shot, always measure and tell your viewers how wide the rack is. If not, dont post a video. One Alaskans opinion.
@@drizzy1953 your not aiming at the whole thing the whole things is meat you have to aim behind the front leg so you get it in the heat or the lungs so it’s like any animal it’s just a real small target
I've always wanted to be a hunter, but I'm too much of a sap. I get sad watching the moose fall to the ground in this video. I've just never been fond of taking life from other things. It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but I'm not upset that people hunt
You would probably feel different about taking the life of the animal if you were walking miles and miles and miles just trying to find the animal than stocking the animal than maybe getting a shot. Hunting is very rewarding experience and there is nothing like it. walking and listening, looking, being quiet ,and most important be an ethical hunter will make you a good hunter. You seem like a nice person nice talking to you have a good day 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
To all those saying this is cruel and unnecessary and such, Conservation hunting is ABSOLUTELY necessary for the continued propagation of a given species. Not to mention a main source of protein since time immemorial. We humans have the responsibility for trying to keep the ecological balance. To let one species grow in population far more than another that is associated with it ecologically could eventually drive one or both species to extinction. Culling of invasive species and pest control is also very important to maintain the balance. These are all facts, not opinions
What's really unsettling here is those hunters seemed to enjoy taking that animal's life. There seemed to be no remorse or regret of any kind. The guy who pulled the trigger had to call his buddy and report on his murder with a smile.
It’s just natural. We’ve been doing it for thousands of years, nothing can live without depending on others for food or other things. Just accept that you can’t reasonably live without meat or death or suffering.
@@maxdragonfire4823 nah bro I’m serious like wtf does he expect? All the shit y’all went through to kill that moose of course y’all are gonna be happy shit I would’ve been happy also
Honesty this is like a guilty pleasure I hate watching such a beautiful animal go down and at the same time I think it's so right to hunt and kill our own food. Beautiful animal, but awesome hunt so torn lol
American often criticize other countries hunting other animals for food, yet when it comes to Americans hunting deer, moose it's sports. I don't get it.
Please help me understand, I dont understand how you can appreciate the beauty of an animal and then kill it? what is the thought process behind having respect for the animal and its life... then shooting it, just dont get it.

Comment section when a moose is killed: how dare you.
Cuz moose are epic and rare
That bad boy was massive! Great video and awesome job fellas! My prayers go out for the families of the men who passed.
Who passed?
Zach was a great guy I loved his artwork.
For Sure!
The Experience Which videos can I search to see Zach and Jeff? I'm new to the channel and what really happened to them?
Look at this beautiful creature, such majesty, listen to the emotional and heartfelt music as you watch it go about it's life.
Aaaaaaand it's gone...
Moose is majestic animal. I love seeing this giant creature.
To all those people saying they left meat behind, there was no mention in the video about leaving meat behind. I rewatched the video several times and this conversation in the video never happened. Its illegal to waste the animal you harvest and to have it on video "if they wasted meat" would be a quick way to get find and charged.
Read a little bit more about the North American Model of Conservation and educate yourselves before you make defamatory remarks on a subject you clearly know very little on. In the back country the rule is the last pack out are the antlers, culturally speaking for hunters you get all the meat to the pick up point first then at the very end you get the antlers. Bush planes will make multiple trips hauling meat out and then at the very end fly out the hunters.
But its easy to sit behind a keyboard making comments on something you have never done before. Hunters and legal gun enthusiasts have done far more then any other group for conservation. They through the Pittman-Robertson act they have single handedly raised literally tens of billions of dollars. Any other contribution to wildlife is a mere drop in the bucket. So maybe instead of criticizing hunters you should thank them for all the work done to restore the wildlife in North America to what it is today.
I'm sure some of you will have some silly rebuttal or insult that you'll inevitably hurl my way but its okay cause I'm confident in my knowledge to handle others ignorance. Lastly if you eat meat and have hate for hunters you are the greatest hypocrites of all. At least these people work for their food, know where it was sourced and don't have possible 100 different animal remains in one kilo of ground meat. I'm not saying you have to become a hunter to have a clear conscious or be right, I'm just saying that being a little more self aware and a little less judgemental will go along way.
Lastly for hunters if someone is being critical but not rude or simple asking to understand don't be an overt jerk and insult them. Instead inform and educate. We are the image that we want to leave behind and the way to make people understand isn't being a bunch of pricks. Its good to have the questions cause it keeps us honest and self reflect on why and what we do and thats not a bad thing to do every now and then.
That was long winded but in summation, can't we all just get along....
This moose was caught above my hometown. Russian Mission, Alaska. It is illegal to leave the meat behind. & they did 🙄 please don't comment anything if you don't know the facts. There are many pictures of them on Facebook leaving lots of other moose meat behind around other villages too. They just take the antlers.
"Hunters and legal gun enthusiasts have done far more then any other group for conservation." Hunters have become many species extinct, it is a mistake to belive that paying to be allowed to hunt it's the only way to "help" these species. There is a natural balance that should be respected.
Hunters do not care animals, if hunting was for free, they wouldn't give any money to animal protection organizations. The only thing they want is to have horns or skins in their halls as trophies.
Jon Yapp hopefully you have helped Wazzzock understand why big game is hunted. I love the way he started out he said, help me understand. I love a person who wants to educate his or herself to things they may not understand. For people to just jump in there and talk about things they clearly know nothing about gets on my nerves. Thank you Jon for you knowledgeable post. You helped me out also.

Bull of a lifetime , What an awesome experience thanks for the footage
That was AWESOME!!!
Great shot. Rest in peace the two men that were lost 🙏🏻
Actually there were 5 in total. The 2 that were mentioned were on a hunting charter the other 3 were on a commercial flight. RIP Harry Wrase, Steven Andrew, Aaron Minock.
Another year of organic meat in the freezer for his family. Great hunt man.
I am a pilot. How the hell do experienced pilots in an area like that have mid-air collision? That is almost unheard of.
4:43 when you stub your toe
I doubt all the dislikes on this video and hate comments are from vegans so what’s better? Having an animal live a happy life or an animal live beside thousands of other animals with no freedom and just raised to be eaten?
I’m surprised that there are so many dislikes. It was a great video and a great shot. Very nice trophy moose. Must be all the anti hunters and vegans that disliked the video.
Must be anti hunters that disliked the hunting video. Astute observation bro.
Anyone else a hunter
I love that quote at the beginning
What’s the point in this?
Its About a once in a lifetime experience, to be out in nature, to help Fund Wildlife conservation for species in the Alaskan wilderness. The vast majority of conservation efforts for Wildlife are funded and paid for by Hunters dollars and it goes towards vaccines, research, repopulation efforts and population control.
Music Archives for food like what you on about it’s a hunting video
It’s a 26 point moose
Rahadian S get out of the video if you can’t handle it
Why kill something so rare? Pretty disgusting if u ask me
That’s a great moose congrats…making awesome memories 🤠🇨🇦👍👍👍
Well, I prefere to be killed by being shot while walking around, than being chased and eaten by wolves or bears... not to mention this activity helps to found the national parks and protect animals from pouching... BTW what a fantastic place!!!! Im not really into hunting, but man, i would love to wander those lands
Great video!!! I just subbed!! Sorry for your loss, respectively!
👊⛰️🏹🦌
Jorge Kalkman thanks👊
RIP Harry Wrase and all who were on the commercial flight along with your buddies. Living in Alaska can be harsh
I’m hurting with you. My emotions come out to you. Two great men lost there lives in something beyond their control. I know the pain will always be there, but may the hunt help ease that pain. God speed yall.
Damn either those trees are small or that moose is huge
perfect shot.
went down quick.
Amazing vid guys,a real beast right there
One Hell of a Fine Shot My Friend. The Moose never knew what Hit Him, that's as good as it gets. Going to have some mighty fine eating on this one. It's a Hell of a lot better than the Super Market where some of these Fairy Folks think Meat is MADE. Be Well from Alaska.
I just came across your channel and its amazing

xPriscilla Madriles yes the moose was beautiful however you are really beautiful. I hope that you don't mind me saying.
Hunting believe it or not has shaped our great country. Such a beautiful video, very much appreciated guys!
are you talking about america? then that is very true. hunting indeed shaped america. by hunting native indians.
For all the anti-hunters, just remember these animals are regulated by the DNR you have to have a license to hunt they controle the numbers. And they do serve a purpose, I am a life long hunter. If I kill an animal it is for food or its a nuisance animal. (Varmint) I wonder all that are bitching about the kill, are you all vegetarians?
blah blah blah...killers
Hmmm vegetarian?
pacmanzita quiere robux v: v: blah blah blah you fucking idiot you have canine teeth you dumbass what purpose do you think those have
Lifes Abeach lol you’re right they know everything about life I completely forgot that also they know everything better and are overall just a more evolved form of humans. What i like most about them is the way they brag about being better humans but they still won’t realize that most plants can feel too
Wow! What a video! Damn!
People who are crying about hunting probably eat processed meat from grocery stores
That’s kinda different tho they killed one of the biggest moose ever that’s a animal you don’t see every day processed meat is from a animal that isn’t very rare or something
I'm vegetarian
@@darkdodo3789 Large animals are often old and on their last leg, it's a much more humane way to go in a flash than to suffer in nature. Paying others to slaughter poor animals in horrible conditions is way worse than hunting. You have no idea what goes in to everything, from the knowledge, experience, gear, planning the journey, getting the perfect shot from the gun to the ammo that someone probably made for that specific rifle. It's not about that shot it's about the thousands of hours it took to get there. I have a lot of respect for people that hunt their own food
Have you ever ate moose meat?
@@bobhughson2202 no one asked
For those nay sayer, get yourself in the outdoors and experience the nature and the realities of the world and not this illusion of life. Do some hiking (not a two mile hike in your local park but in the wild - one of the national parks with deer, bears, and all critters). You'll quickly realize you have to carry at least a large caliber pistol with you for defense against bears and such and all of a sudden you realize guns are just another tool and not this evil thing. Next, you find yourself walking in the river and feeling the cold water and pebbles under your feet and thru your toes, and sooner or later if you have any adventure in your heart, you will fish and release, and next you'd catch and eat and you'll see how much better the wild fish is from this junk you buy at the store and now you're hooked ... (pun intended) ! Get up from behind your desk and your computer or whatever you do, be brave, get your hands dirty, experience life they way it has always been and is meant to be (Although the pendulum has swung the other way and people are getting further and further away from the realities of the world and are becoming inept in every dimension of life) and you will see hunting and harvesting for meat or mature specimens for management of the herd, or even trophy hunting is part of its normalcy!
Fue una cacería excelente😎👏
Now come and spend some time with them without guns. Just awe. They're everywhere here.
That was a great shot.
Get real people food chains exist in nature for a reason. At least by hunting we’re doing in by way of virtue rather than dragging the calf to the back and blasting its head off.
Our way of life doesn’t depend on killing moose, so it has nothing to do with food chains. This is just killing for sport, which is not at all common in the animal kingdom. Animals kill to eat, in order to survive. Hunters - these types of hunters, that is - kill animals for the fun of it, because they’re sadistic parasites. It’s pretty pathetic when even wild animals have better human morals than humans themselves.
Jake Jerrison do you think they just threw that perfectly good moose away without using the meat and eating it? No. They most likely ate it, kept the horns as a trophy. No one would waste a perfectly good moose, especially since you’re only allowed to kill one per year I believe.
Found your channel last week and I’ve watched several of your videos. Best stuff on RUclips and better than most stuff on tv. Keep it up and don’t change.
I love MooseCraft
6:35 when you see the moose
I can watch deer shots all day and enjoy hog shots more than i should, but the moose is such a majestic animal... it's almost a darn shame to shoot one. I hope they never go extinct.
ALMOST a shame? It is a shame you bellend.
ITS DISGUSTING AND NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE LIFE FOR ENTERTAINMENT. SMH ITS DISGUSTING! DOESNT MATTER WHETHER ITS A DEER A LION OR A HAWK. THIS IS THE EXACT BEHAVIOR THAT MADE ANIMALS GO EXTINCT.

Butchering moose that size looks challenging- great vid
My grandpa used to be able to butcher a whole moose in less then 10 minutes. And one time he did it using a leatherman
Thank you for sharing “the experience” with us! Great video keep up the good work!
The song in this video reminds me of graduating high school
What an amazing hunt. I’ve always imagined going to Alaska, Western Canada, Montana or places like that and helping the conservation movements that save bison, moose and other animals like yhat
why do you kill them??thats sooo heartbreaking let them live man
These the guys that gonna start the zombie apocalypse
I dont get how people can get offended by this but still eat burgers lolll
Ya beef burgers as the hunter brags about shooting that moose and it freezer burnt and was fed to dogs or thrown away...perhaps BQing pork ribs!
I just think If you buy meat on mall that meat IS dead too
Burgers are from cows that are raised and culled for exactly that purpose, numbnuts
Because you only kill animals for its flesh and if it's cold in winter, you kill it for the fur. Killing for fun is not an option and you don't have the moral highground here.
Ikr they do to the grocery store not realizing the process how they got that beef or whatever type of meat it is
Folks, Hunting is the first step in conservation. God's blessing provided the bounty! I do have one question; how much of the meat did you carry out?...back straps for sure, tenderloin, ....two hams might be too heavy to carry out on foot!!
All meat has to be taken out. In fact, the horns must to come out last. IT IS THE LAW!
How about leave the horns to rot and tell me its not about horns! You and i both know thats what its about..big rack and freezer burnt meat that gets fed to dogs or thrown away but the horns..nope!! Keeping them...i get to brag to my friends while i BQ pork ribs...haha
How did he go down so fast? Why did he just fall over? Can someone please explain this shot to me?
These are such beautiful majestic animals. Truly magnificent beasts. I am not entirely opposed to hunting, as long as the animal is used, and not just a trophy. I am not opposed to hunting, but only if it is done under the auspices of research-based ecological studies that result in legally oversighted licences where over-populations are culled, and not poaching. I have no qualms about poachers being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Poachers are a nemesis. Clearly, you guys are working within the law, and it must've been a tremendous experience, but I hope, now that you have gotten one, that future shots are footage, not ammo. JMHO. Great filming, btw, and so sorry for the loss of your two friends.
Thank you! We agree they are truly magnificent beasts and all of our hunts are not done for the intent of acquiring the trophy. We take ALL the meat, Alaska it is the LAW to take all the meat before taking the antlers. We work within the law on all of our hunts. Thank you for watching!
nobody asked you
Stop trying to sound smarter than you actually are
Got so lucky a grizzly didn’t run up on you when you were dressing that moose
Very true
wish that happened
@@Marianobass Why lmao
Those .556 would shred the bear to pieces
Ayyylien007 who hunts moose with .556 🤣
It is my opinion that There is a difference between hunting for sport and hunting for sustenance.
Vid I watched prior to this one was of a moose hunt as well but by a man and wife living off the land and that I find admirable.
Those seeking thrills and profit , not so much.
Such an old majestic animal and the next moment his life was taken away. And for what? For a trophy.
EuroVideo And for dinner too
Nature isnt some utopia, animals kill other animals, and some animals die slowly from disease. Dont forget we are animals, and only a few thousand years removed from our hunter gatherer ancestors. Hunting is completely normal, and only big city people removed from nature cant understand that.
Better than slowly getting torn apart my a grizzly.
in many parts in america and in other continents too,because most natural predators are extinct(because of us of course,but thats antoher topic) theres way too many elk/deers because they have no natural enemys and hunting is neccessary therefore. Antoher option would be to let wolves breed more open again and they would take care of the overpopulation,but many people are scared of wolves and they kill alot of farm animals too,mostly sheep
It never really bothered me before seeing hunting vids or w.e ,but damn y'all travel all the way to a Moose territory to kill it? He was living it's best life man, not bothering nooobody SMH
Why would you be okay with any hunting, then? No animal in history has ever done anything to deserve being killed, but it's still just something that happens.
Nice shot, man!
I find it strange how we've gone from grabbing our gun and going out to hunt for food,
to camo gear, plane trips, days of waiting and watching just to kill one animal.
IT IS about the kill. IT IS about being able to harvest an animal like that. Why else would you hunt.
With moose hunting IT IS about the points and the width. Always show the shot, always measure and tell your viewers how wide the rack is. If not, dont post a video.
One Alaskans opinion.
But by the Grace of God, that first plane could have been you! Great bull...congrats!
6:36 I can’t even make that shot in a video game.
Me neither
the moose is such a big target tho
@@drizzy1953 your not aiming at the whole thing the whole things is meat you have to aim behind the front leg so you get it in the heat or the lungs so it’s like any animal it’s just a real small target
I've always wanted to be a hunter, but I'm too much of a sap. I get sad watching the moose fall to the ground in this video. I've just never been fond of taking life from other things. It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but I'm not upset that people hunt
You would probably feel different about taking the life of the animal if you were walking miles and miles and miles just trying to find the animal than stocking the animal than maybe getting a shot. Hunting is very rewarding experience and there is nothing like it. walking and listening, looking, being quiet ,and most important be an ethical hunter will make you a good hunter. You seem like a nice person nice talking to you have a good day 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
that quote at the first video is fascinating
Such a beautiful animal .. kinda sucks to see the savagery
Zach Jones got it. As long as it’s ethical👍🏾🤔
How do you carry that head when I was ten I shoot my first elk I couldn’t pick it’s head up even then it was a cow
To all those saying this is cruel and unnecessary and such, Conservation hunting is ABSOLUTELY necessary for the continued propagation of a given species. Not to mention a main source of protein since time immemorial. We humans have the responsibility for trying to keep the ecological balance. To let one species grow in population far more than another that is associated with it ecologically could eventually drive one or both species to extinction. Culling of invasive species and pest control is also very important to maintain the balance. These are all facts, not opinions
6:38
What's really unsettling here is those hunters seemed to enjoy taking that animal's life. There seemed to be no remorse or regret of any kind. The guy who pulled the trigger had to call his buddy and report on his murder with a smile.
It’s just natural. We’ve been doing it for thousands of years, nothing can live without depending on others for food or other things. Just accept that you can’t reasonably live without meat or death or suffering.
Wtf you want them to cry? He called his son quit being such a sensitive little bitch
@@unknowndesconocido8325 damn bro.
@@maxdragonfire4823 nah bro I’m serious like wtf does he expect? All the shit y’all went through to kill that moose of course y’all are gonna be happy shit I would’ve been happy also

Nice shot. Dropping it is always the best option.
Poor guy, he was just minding his own business and then gets shot😢
Honesty this is like a guilty pleasure I hate watching such a beautiful animal go down and at the same time I think it's so right to hunt and kill our own food. Beautiful animal, but awesome hunt so torn lol
Great shot man
American often criticize other countries hunting other animals for food, yet when it comes to Americans hunting deer, moose it's sports. I don't get it.
It's not sport,,You have some idea that it's a sport,, well it's not.
Not all Americans are against hunting
What Americans have you ever talked to that held those views? No one who hunts is going to give you shit for hunting yourself.
That music ruined the whole thing. Aweful
So talented shooting such a big non moving target with a high powered rifle
It's not about the kill. (Kills Moose)
R.I.P MOOSE
Great shot !
