Giant Bull Moose Fight!
A mature Giant Bull Moose Fight keeps his two cows close when a younger bull sees them and approaches from a distance. The bigger bull will not tolerate his presence, and they start their head wag/size each other up move across the field. Despite the one being smaller, he suddenly makes his move, and for the next several minutes, they battle with ferocity, pushing each other up and down the hillside, antlers clacking, hair and hooves flying.
At one point they get locked and while they catch their breath and try to pull apart, I had to run with the camera on to get closer. When I got to a better vantage, they had slammed/crashed into a stand of alders. The audio was on, so you can hear it. No video for that part. Then after a minute of utter silence, wondering if they were both alive in there, the loser, bigger bull, comes out first. After he moves off, the winner/underdog emerges and walks off the victor, heading to the cows. The loser then stands downhill gasping for breath, a royal tine snapped and hanging, scuffed with antler scrapes all over. (But he is fine.)
It's tough to film in such high winds, and getting a fight recorded is not easy either. This lasted a while, we were very happy to be able to get this. Enjoy!

Some great video work , muscle , antlers with a lot of heavy breathing . Two really nice looking bulls . Thanks for the video
Appreciate that, it was work getting this one filmed, the high wind and tripod unable to cope, having to get through the tall grass as they moved...yeah, some pretty intense moments in this one. Thank you for the kind words!
It's amazing the amount of stamina they both displayed in this fight. I've seen quite a few bull fights in my day but this one lasted quite some time. cool.
Yeah, same here. Usually we hardly have time to set up and film but these guys actually let us move around. Pity that they ended up in the alders where we couldn't see them. I went in later to check out the damage to the trees. Yikes, what two powerful bull moose can do. Amazing. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I never get tired of watching these amazing animals in their natural habitats. The rut is a very serious part of the season for the moose. We can always adore these absolutely incredible creatures, and how much they amaze us. These two bulls simply just demonstrate the courtship of the available cows to the winner of the battle. That would also mean, to breed for the fourth coming off-spring. One bull will be usually chased away after he loses the fight. It's in ongoing chain of events that we see with this animal through each year.
It has really been educational for us, always is, watching/observing wildlife, and moose especially have been teaching us SO much! We have only witnessed a bull chasing another bull off when the cows are being pursued. When another bull comes around and intends on assuming the other bull's cows, he makes his intention clear by not slinking around the periphery, rather boldly come strutting in with that John Wayne strut, the head wag. When that action starts, we have to be extra sure we have a secure spot near a solid tree, and steady our nerves. Many times these head wag entrances end in one bull deciding not today, and simply whining and wheeling off. They aren't chased that we have ever seen at that point. Interesting, there seems to be a code of ethics. we have also never seen a bull chase the loser of a fight off. I think it's because he's made his point and he's exhausted. Thanks for commenting as always! Gotta love the moose!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos as always. I always enjoy all kinds of wildlife as well, but the moose gives me that extra special excitement. You always make my day with my favorite animal, the moose. Thank you🙏🙏
Awesome footage,very majestic animals
The slowly walk to the battlefield for the ultimate clash 😂😂
That's how they do it. They certainly don't rush in. You can get a cup of coffee waiting for them to decide if they're going for it!
Clash of the Titans!!
Stay out of the way!!
Great being able to see this. Thanks much!
Yes, Rule Number One: Have a sturdy tree nearby to hide behind if need be. Not usually necessary, but there have been times... Thanks for watching!
These are great videos. Thanks for making them for us.
Thank you for watching. More action coming.
Thanks
Thank you!
Wowww...outstanding!
Thanks!! And thanks for watching.
Great video thanks. ✌️👊
Glad you enjoyed!
That's the best of all videos about all out raw power in the wild I ever watched THANK YOU
You're welcome. Appreciate that!
EPIC 😊
Thank you, Joe!
"Hey Rocky, watch me beat up that other moose."
"WHOA, wrong moose."
Ha! So true
Incredible footage and you have steady hands! Thank you
Thanks, not always the steadiest of hands but we try!
They are so magnificent! Nature is so awesome and I appreciate your fantastic footage allowing me to learn more and more. Thank you!
You're oh so welcome, happy to have you here! Thanks for that!
You did a fantastic job getting this video. I love watching the moose and also elk battling and bugling.
Awesome video thanks
Super long fight, really cool!
Yeah, thanks. We were having a tough time keeping up with them!
Wow, they must be workout, even battle, but in think the younger one came out on top, we age so quickly, all the earth's animals, including us.
Yes, that was a workout to be sure, and for us too, to try to keep up with them in that slop and wind. And indeed, the younger animal came out ahead on this one, which shocked us all, including the losing bull. And they seem to age rather quickly, don't they. The rut is a very stressful time and then on the heels of that drama is the hunt, then comes a nasty winter. It's a tough life. (Yes, we are not exempt from the aging part.)
Your video is amazing!!
I've never seen a fight that close before. Makes me feel badly for the loser, but that's nature...
Thanks for all of your hard work of videoing and preparing for view. It's much appreciated!
Thank you for your kind words! And thanks for "getting it!", this does take time, energy, effort, and a LOT of hiking!! Really appreciate it!
I have a cousin named karen Daugherty in Terrace BC. could this be you? Jody Daugherty
Awesome 👍
Thank you!
Amazing video very good job! Can not imagine how much time it takes to film these few minutes???
Thank you! So as far as how long it takes? We spend day after day hiking in to film the moose for two months. Sometimes we're at the right place, right time, set up, and ready to catch the action. Kind of a needle in the haystack moments these fights. Thanks for watching.
First-rate video MooseMan and team. This has to be my second go-around with this video. Without your videography and audio skills along with your intertwined harmony with nature, I would have not ever been able to witness such a battle of the titans. As you well know they are both winners, because of the experience they both gained; on another given day, the outcome could have been different for both bulls.
First off, thank you so much! And yes, as for the bulls, the fight could have gone the other way very easily. As it happened, the winner of this fight had the sand to go challenge another big bull immediately after, like he had time to catch his breath barely, within five minutes! He got his butt chased away in about 3 seconds of actual antler to antler conflict. It's amazing to watch these guys. Thanks for being here.
The winner and still champ...
Except he got his butt kicked within 5 minutes of this fight after he picked on the wrong bull!
Awesome video. I'm not against responsible controlled hunting, but I'd rather watch and take photos and videos of these magnificent animals than shoot them. For those of us who can't access the wilderness like yourself, this is a real great opportunity to witness one of nature's greatest spectacles.
Thanks, I agree. We like to shoot our animals over and over and come back the next day to do it again. Plus we get to see unique behavior that even a lot of hunters don't get to witness (given that they call the bulls in and therefore don't get to watch the whole rut thing unfold.) Just a different dynamic. Glad you're enjoying it.

Awesome videos!!!
Thank you!!!
Amazing footage! Thanks
Thank you! It was a tough shoot for sure trying to keep up with it all in that tall grass and wind. Thanks for being here!
When they start rock'in them racks.
That's when the adrenaline really gets going for us. Love those moments leading up to a fight. Or not, as is often the case. Thanks for watching.
It's funny, I thought from the beginning that the smaller moose was smarter, more tactical, and would win.
It's usually all about the uphill advantage, ultimately. Pity that he lost his smarts at that point; not two minutes later he was so full of himself he went over to take on a VERY dominant bull in that area and spun out of the bushes after maybe 6 seconds of a round with him. But he did so on his own power, so... We have not seen him lately. (We have seen a couple of instances where youth won out over the larger, older bull.) Thanks for the comment!
I watched this video about a year ago to witness this intense fight. I'm sure both animals were tired and spent from the head & neck breaking antler locks. Enjoyed the video again. 👍🏽🤠 12/4/22
Sorry I missed this comment, HO. Glad you enjoyed it a second time as well! And thank you for commenting! (I'm usually right on top of answering so I apologize!)
Enjoyed the video. 👍🏽🙂
Thanks! Glad you did!
That was two heavy weights getting it in 💯💯💯good stuff thanks for the vid 👌👌👌PHILLY ALEEK 😎😎😎😎✌✌✌✌
Thanks a lot! Appreciate it!
The smaller bull seemed more aggressive, the bigger bull was pushing him around easily but aggression wins the day
Yes, attitude is altitude. The smaller bull went to pick a fight right after he won this one, I mean like 3 minutes later! He lost that one. Quickly. I think it lasted 10 seconds. He was fine. Still kept active during the rest of the rut.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Really? So he didn't get to keep all of those cows for himself after all!
@@tonalharmony9266 Them's the breaks!
Maybe the smaller one was younger and the older bull was the bigger one big daddy
@@marilyncole3560 Not likely; not old enough to be the sire/father.
I like the Moose looking at the camera man thinking, You're next pal.😲👍
Amazing the rack can handle that pressure then just fall off a few months later
It is a wonder of nature, for sure.
Agreed I can't imagine the leverage on the horns during some of those clashes, it's amazing they don't get ripped off.
Moose fight like Gentle Men compared to other horned animals... the way they start the fight and end a fight...
That's so true. Elk are nothing like moose, or rams, those guys fight dirty! Thanks for watching.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Moose fight more like Heavy Weight BOXING... the others just fight cheap shots etc
Great stuff, must of made your day to film that.
Absolutely! Getting on a fight isn't easy. Hard to get it and be safe.
Amazing I love the video keep up the great work Thank You
Thank you very much!
Crazy man, must be intense asf
It is. We live for this stuff.
IBooks like they are both ready to drop dead of exhaustion. Seen it before.
Except the winner went off and got in another fight within five minutes. (That lasted a matter of seconds and he came flying out of the alders and walked off the loser. All in a day's work. Thanks for watching.
I'm not surprised small man won. He had better technique. He was square with his opponent at all time while his opponent sometimes turned sideways. I knew it was over when tbe big guy tried some spin moves.
Yes, he was quicker. And the uphill generally has the advantage. Not always. The inside of those alders was THRASHED. Thanks for watching.
Great share
Thanks! And thanks for watching.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Very Welcome. Seen lots in,Canada. I Subscribed. Thanks
@@carmendawnallan8871 thanks for subscribing.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Very Welcome. Thanks for,all your Content.
This isn't theirs first rodeo and we hope it is not the last. Go on strong forever!
Amen to that! Fingers crossed!
I've come across areas where moose have been fighting only to find one dead from exhaustion. Once we found them both withen a mile of the fight area.
Wow that is brutal. We thankfully haven't seen that but there are those occasional bulls who get locked and both die from the stress and exhaustion. Rarely hunger. It's a tough time for them for sure. (damn hormones!)
Looks a lot like one of the Campbell Creek drainiges. My guess would S Fork.
Oh that Bullwinkle.
That smaller bull was able to use his quickness to get in better positions. Time to go collect the women
It's just what he did and secured the uphill advantage. Pity that he was SO full of himself that he went over and challenged the other BIG bull in the area not 5 minutes later and got shown the door. That fight lasted maybe 3 seconds. Youth. Shoulda known when to quit. The big bull got all the girls.
Very well shot the video brother Iwhole heartedly appreciate your dedication and your hard work with topmost care
From the beginning to end.
Thank you very much for the kind comments. We really appreciate it. It’s tough work at times with weather, animal, and physical challenges but your comments make that all melt away. Thank you again.
That small bull was very aggressive and got the victory, pretty neat battle.
Not only that? but right after this fight he walked over to another bull's cows and fought THAT bigger bull! (He lost, it was a quick fight, but still...he has our respect!
And thanks for watching!
Bravo! Bravo! Brilliant footage! To come upon such an epic battle of 2 huge animals like this and get it all on camera.....awesome!.......totally freaking awesome. Are these Yukon moose, Alaskan moose, I must know lol Newfoundland maybe judging by the wind. Epic battle!
Thank you for the awesome comments. Yukon, yes, this is in AK. We never thought we'd see any action on such a howlingly windy day; they usually bed down, but that day those positive ions had the bulls gunning for a fight. About got blown away filming it. But glad to have caught it from our two different vantages. Thanks again!
Amazing camera work.
Thank you so much.
Superb filming. What was the side by side stroll about...assessing each other? Do they ever inflict fatal wounds on each other? And what sort of force would you say they are exerting as the push and shove each other up and down slope? Thrilling fight anyway... 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the questions. The head wag is indeed assessing each other's strengths while also acting as an invitation to rumble. They certainly can inflict fatal wounds. But usually it's lameness issues or eye/head injuries that are survivable...if the bears don't take them. Good question re: what force; they don't come at each other like rams, with a running start, it's usually a pretty flat-footed start, so you figure two 1K -1,200# + pushing and shoving, it's pretty impressive. The uphill side bull generally wins. Thanks for watching.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos thank you very much for your info. It's fascinating. And they are very formidable yet beautiful animals. I just love that initial side by side eyeballing each other... I was actually holding my breath waiting for the exact moment they made their decision. Pretty exhausted boys at the end though. 👍
@@onlyhuman1954 We have yet to determine, after studying many videos of fights and "not today" turn aways, what it is exactly that sets the fight into motion. It's so subtle we've yet to figure it out. Thanks again.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos again. Thanks for replying. Maybe the moose are more like human males by which I mean the 'not today' withdraw from battle can often be observed in men of a certain calibre. Sometimes they just bluster and pose a bit then move away... but then two meet and some hormonal trigger initiates violence. If you ever do conclusively determine why some fight and some don't I would love to know. The natural world is full of wonders. 🌍
PS... Subscribed.
I recognize one of the moose.
It was the same one that was in a pub i was at. I remember because the bartender said to the moose, "Why the long face?"
Ha ha said the cowboy to his horse. Yeah. We get that a lot.
@kkdnk1 I should say the moose get that a lot...
Great footage, has to be cold.
It was. We use hand and feet warmers and bundle up for the hike and also for when we stand still...then the wind really blasts us. Thanks for watching.
This old country girl enjoyed this fight. That moose in town was as tall as the car. I would love to see one but they aren’t in Arkansas.
Country girls rule! But it's definitely not moose country in Arkansas. Gotta git north for that. Thanks for watching.
One doing turn around a couple times trying to get the advantage never seen that before so thanks for something new
It's really something to watch how they spar and then apply those moves to a real fight. It's always about uphill advantage and the threat of a broadside hit. Which we have never yet seen despite getting on several fights now. Thanks for watching and commenting, sorry it got past me somehow!
Thanks for the great story and video. Where were you?
This video was shot in Alaska. Thanks!
Where was this recorded? I'm from northern NH. Lived most of my life in the White Mtns and have witnessed this maybe a half dozen times. But each time the battle only lasted a minute or two. Great footage!
Thanks so much. We live in the lakes region, but this was Alaska. Long way from home but well worth the trip!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos do you photograph only? I admire Moose and always have. To hunt one (with a bow preferably) would be a bucket list event for me.
Suggestions appreciated.
@@mulvey0731 We do not hunt, and where we photograph there is no hunting. And as for suggestions, really have none. Good luck. Stay ethical and grateful for any animal that walks in front of your bow. (:>)
I love how the lower half of their body has like a blueish sheen too it
They often appear two toned from the sun bleaching their backs, while their lower bodies are the sleek, dark almost blue/blackish shade. Healthy looking, isn't it?
@@MooseManNaturePhotos its so pretty
OMG with the adds
The ads? We have no control over that. Only that they are skip-able. It's how we pay our bills these days. We can't work due to covid, so...this is it.
First 2 minutes are moose discussing who's going to win
Seems that way, doesn't it? They take their time getting down to business.
In a few weeks. Neither one will remember what they were fighting about.
Brutal battle. They must be exhausted 😮😮
For sure, this was a long fight. Most only last seconds
Listening to the wind is making me cold! Daughter lives in Alaska and I am in Hawaii.
The bull that you showed at the very end - - is he the victor? Thanks!
Actually he was the loser. He has a broken (nearly off) royal tine on the right and several scuffs on his body. What happens in fights that we've seen, is that the loser emerges first, then the victor. Here, the younger bull had somehow managed to get the upper hand/high ground advantage. They ended up crashing into the alders and both came out with broken tines and scuffs. It was pretty epic! Thanks for the question David.
Looks like they both broke off a little bit of antler.
Good eye; they sure did.
FluorescentLightBeauty, I was expecting more than a few broken pieces. Hard to imagine those antlers still in one piece after that fight
That was incredible! Whoa!
I love moose and wish I could see then in the wild or even better I would love to pet one ........ impossible though.
The scenery is also spectacular ..... where are the videos filmed? Just out of curiosity.
Probably in Alaska?
@@MsEliteMember Thank you.
Just get over the wish to pet wild animals.
Thanks so much. Sorry, missed this post somehow. Yes, it's so tempting to want to reach out and touch these moose but that would be a very stupid thing.
Alaska, yes.
After that fight boys,
go get a cold drink now …!
You don't recognize these two and have no names for them? I figured you would. I enjoy the names you give them.
I like that they just walk and talk .. big Jake to little John .. so Jake should we put on a show for humannnns ?
Yah why not ! We don’t have anything else to do ..
psst …. John don’t let them video the double tag with Helen .. you know we have to keep it on the lowdown .. so let’s fight” on guard “
Funny. We got some of that double tag on video too. HA. Keepin' it G here. Thanks for watching.
What a shoot by this wild photographer Hats off to this dare devil may have faced many hardships in shooting and setting the cameras brutal brutal combat of the moose bulls to prove the supremacy and hold their territory.
Don't you mean "seven" minutes? This is also an HD video, 1080p.
Two shooters; we combined a couple of the angles for better appreciation of some of the key moves. Thanks for watching!
One moose said something about the other ones mama.
That's all it takes...
Moose actually can be tamed and domesticated. Some have them as sort of a pet. Once tamed, they will follow you around. Seriously.
I would love that! I saw something once, where was it, Sweden? where there is a moose sanctuary type farm. They're giant pets. I'd ride one! They move so gracefully through that impossible thick tundra willow scrub. Better than a dressage horse!
Sweden actually had a moose calvery. Experimental.
@@cedarhatt5991 Omg how'd THAT work out? Myself I'd love to ride a moose!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos according to the article the first artillery round that blew up the moose scattered to the 4 winds with and without their their riders. They had excerpts from the moose calvery Manuel about raising, training, and riding the moose, would love to get my hands on that.
@@cedarhatt5991 Oh HA they hadn't thought to bomb proof them. Wow that's a great story, indeed we would also love to see that manual! Thanks for sharing!
Hey guys, I hate to tell you, but the cow just ate your Eggo Waffle.
HAHAHAHA
The bigger, heavier bull loses..The lighter bull has much better endurance..Endurance + smarts always wins.
Endurance is what it takes for sure.
If (or when) these two cross paths again do/would they do a rematch, or is it now agreed that the winner of this fight
has higher 'status' in the moose world (regarding the cows)?
Good question, the answer is all bets are off when two bulls get all hyper hormonal around the cows. The only bulls we know who avoid fights are those who are damaged/injured, or in one case, just young and lacking in confidence despite having a better set of antlers than any rival in the area. Thanks for watching/asking.
Great footage, thank you! I’ll never forget when I first saw a moose....how amazingly huge they were. Being from Los Angeles they made quite an impression on me. I should have been born in that kind of country, always felt that maybe God had sent me to the wrong place. 😂
I'm sure you're just where you need to be. But they are incredible animals. So stay tuned to this channel and you'll get your moose fix every week. (:>) Thanks for watching!
I don't know how i missed this video but i did. This was a brutal fight. Very intense. The strength these guys have is amazing. Who is fighting? Amazing video ❤🫎
The winner is Darth Raider, a small, scrappy bull that we only saw that year (2020), Tricia. The loser, who should have won, by all accounts, was a bigger bull named Tom Thumb. The wind was howling and it was really hard to keep the camera steady on the pod. It was a long and intense battle for sure!🥰
I have seen them in your book, I believe? The wind was crazy!!! Great beautiful video. It was perfect despite the weather.❤❤🎄🎄
@@patriciawilson6373 We figured that in that wind all the moose would be bedded and hunkered down, Tricia. Nope! They were up and at it and ready to rumble! Amazing! 🥰
Hey moose man...Do you think a yukon moose would lose the mountains,Valleys,hills if it were to be transported to northern Ontario? Lol maybe who knows for sure.
Good question. We'd be happy to document that if anyone's willing to truck a yukon moose up there!
At this point, i wonder if either bull remembers what the fight was about?
HAHA right! First off, what just happened, and secondly, WHY? Good one.
They definitely remember, she’s standing off a short distance waiting for her hero.
@@georgiamule So true. They know what they like in a bull...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
TAIL....is there any other reason?

You need a stabilizer for your camera bud.
Great shots nonetheless 👌
Moose 1: Hey, lamebrain! I saw that girl first
Moose 2: You talking to me?
Moose 1: What, am I here to amuse you? Do you see any other lamebrain moose around here?
Moose 2: Yeah, I'm looking at one
HA! Well the big boy got his butt whipped. Not where our money would have been! But less than 4 minutes after this fight, the winner got his handed to him when he challenged another bull. Hubris = lamebrain.
i have some hides from moose where you can see the scars from their opponents racks scraping the hide . Very violent clashes .
Yes, there are a lot of scuffed hides walking around after the rut. And many broken antlers. Thanks for watching.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos bullet holes too
@@MooseManNaturePhotos this is off topic sorta , but i remember trudging up this remote logging road and as i topped the crest of the road i seen a coyote chasing something in my direction a rabbit or a squirrel and when he saw me he slammed on the brakes like something in Wiley coyote the cartoon and spun around and was gone . The things you see when your hunting are just amazing .
@@razorramoang5947 So true, when out there in the wilds, being quite, one is likely to see most anything. Nature is amazing. Funny that the coyote slammed brakes like that.
Smaller but younger?
Indeed, an up and comer bull. We'll keep an eye out for him next year.
Yup, you could have planted potatoes in a few locations where moose were fighting... Luke a demolition derby tour up the ground... Wish I had it on film...
So if he won the cows why did he take off and go fight another bull. Where were the cows he was fighting for. You mention he went to them after he won. But then he took off for another fight right away? Did the old bull just really leave them alone and go away. And not try to step back in when young stud took off for another fight. I didn't even really get who won at first had to read the comments. Very interesting video. :-)
The winner was marching off to some cows not visible in this video. Another bull was busy in the bushes with those cows and he is the bull who took on this fight's winner. That fight lasted maybe 5 seconds and he'd had enough; the other bull took over those cows. They were hanging with the winner of this fight at first, see. That's how loyal cows are ha! Thanks for watching/commenting.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos ok yes it is really interesting thank you for this!
Ooooo
Then the winning bull walks over to his two cows and said "Not now ladies, I have a headache".
HA! what he really did was walk past the cows and right over to start a fight with another big bull. But that time he got his butt handed to him. It was a very short fight. He should have just taken his cows and run.
So if one of the bulls get their horns ripped off they grow back, right?
That old bull looked like his left horn ( our vantage point) nearly ripped off.
They grow an entire set of antlers every spring, they shed their antlers every year after the rut. Spares them from having to lug them around all winter, the hardest season for a moose.
When they loose or break an antler they will grow back the next year.
They do carry them for most of the winter. The rutt is in the fall, they loose their antlers in early spring. March ish
All this for a woman (cow)??...LOL 🤣
Not only 1 woman (cows) but many LOL 😂...so ya it's worth it!! 🤣.... great footage Team MooseMan!! 🙂...now that the rut is done, may they find peace & prepare for winter!! ❤️
Yeah the rut takes a lot out of them. The bulls stop eating altogether and once the bothersome mating thing is done? They get right back to it. And they bed a lot too, cuz the browse is pretty much empty calories. They need to conserve energy for the rough winter ahead. As always, glad to see you!
All this effort for the winner and just to find out Mrs moose has a headache.
HA! Yeah, or that she went off in the bushes with the geeky bull!
How can you tell which one is the winner? These look pretty evenly matched.
The one exiting the bushes is the winner (almost always anyway.) The loser went off to sulk and recover. The winner went off to challenge another bull within 5 minutes. But he got his butt handed to him. This loser bull should have won; he's bigger, older, wiser. Just not his day I guess. Thanks for watching.
Looks like smaller bill won due to being on the upside of the hill most of the fight
You're so right; It is 99% about uphill advantage for sure. It's all about the push. It was a wild fight to film though! Fun stuff. Thanks for watching.
Вот нет в природе голубых, нету просто....везде битва за самок. За сильное потомство....
Very true!
a lot of married guys wished someone would show up and take over payments.
Sometimes their antlers get locked together awful death.
Yeah, that's got to be the worst way to die, huh?
@@MooseManNaturePhotos the big fella looked exhausted, do any of your films show physical injury?
and thats why we should only have one wife. imagine going through that ten times for ten wives.
They go through that like 25 times. No wonder they're exhausted after the rut!
