It's so exciting to be there, for sure. Sometimes when they go at it the ground rumbles. And when a bull backs out at the last second, we also sometimes are a little thankful because they knew better. We don't want to video an injury but the fights that end with an "uncle" are great. Thanks for being here!
The fight between Left Hook and 22 was interesting, I hope to see the rest of that match. I suspected LH will dominate the whole valley next season. I look forward to seeing his offspring in years to come.
The LH/22 fight in its entirety is here as "Two Big Alaska Bull Moose Fighting -Start to Finish!" As for LH dominating this year we doubt it; toward the rut end he nearly lost his eye in a fight we suspect was with Grumpy, who were both in the same area and who both disappeared for a couple of days, and both returned damaged. (Grumpy's right royal tine was sheared off.) LH shortly headed out and was last seen many miles away. We are hopeful to see him again. At last report his injury was healing nicely. They are amazingly strong and resilient beasts!
Sim, os touros vão lutar, mas depois eles se deixam sozinhos quando um foge. Eles parecem ter um código de ética de qualquer maneira, e não atropelar o outro e matá-lo. Pelo menos tem isso! Obrigado novamente por seu comentário e por assistir!
Fantastic video! Next best thing being there. Oh how I would love to be there and see this for real Question: Why is there a difference between the left and right antlers? I can't recall whether you spoke of this in a prior video.
Antlers are unique, and bulls don't grow a totally symmetrical set. They can be very similar, but it's all about genetics. Here's one for you; some cows actually have enough male hormones in them that they grow antlers! Stunted and odd but they have calves and are otherwise complete cows!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos I did not know that. How unusual. Are they wanting to be mated more because of the males hormones? Are they mated more because of the make hormones? Are any offspring stronger in any way? Do the male Moose reject them or do they even see the stunted antlers? Do you know? This is all so very interesting?
@@Rottimail Not enough is known about the cows with antlers but they sure do somehow get a mate and can have perfectly normal calves. There's an article I'd read on moose hunting in Alaska about how hunters better be sure they have a bull because of this anomaly. Weird, huh?
@@MooseManNaturePhotos I think that Moose hunting should not be allowed any longer. It's my opinion on the matter. You don't have to comment. There shouldn't be any hunting of wild animals because when I hear of all the reasons given by hunters it just seems that nature would cover all of them. Hot topic huh?
@@Rottimail Yeah, hot topic is right. I especially agree about moose hunting in New England being taken off the map because we are losing our moose to winter tick and brain worm. Hunters aren't going to take the sickly, ghost moose who are suffering from tick infestation, no, they take the healthy animals who are the only future for the species up here. Talk about a hot topic; Maine is adding (ADDING!) another 550 cow moose tags this year!! In theory because this eliminates the host for the ticks? What? We don't hunt. It's not that we don't believe in it but we do our hunting with cameras. That way we can go back to the same animal time and time again. That's how we like it. 🙂
I really like your channel. I grew up in Montana and miss seeing these beautiful animals in the wild. I couldn’t tell which bulls any of these are. I don’t remember all their names. Live in Washington state (southeast corner) east side of the state and like flat desert.
Thank you so much, cden! Appreciate that. Yes, I can imaging you miss seeing moose in eastern WA state. And no need to memorize the bulls; there aren't any quizzes after. Just enjoy! And welcome aboard!
Hey Moose man gotta question. Would you shoot and eat a rutting bull? Only Moose I've taken have been early before the rut. Would these rutting bulls be good eating? Season's over I suppose. I lived in St Michaels and Unalakleet during the 80s and we would shoot massive Moose like this but during a subsistence hunt in the month of December. The December bulls were excellent eating but they were long done rutting. Please give us your thoughts on eating big bulls taken during a rut. Great video or videos 👍👍
Not my wheelhouse BUT I would imagine it is best after the rut (where legal.) (Down here in the lower 48 most hunts are held during the rut due to calling the bulls in.) But I would think all those hormonal/chemical goings on in their bodies must affect the muscles. Not to mention the fact that they stop eating and tend to waste away to some degree. It would make sense. Appreciate your comment and question!
Movements like Samurai fighters! Thanks, guys.
So true! And thank YOU!
I just love the moose. It's my favorite animal. Quite wonderful creatures they really are!!
I'm just dumbfounded every time I watch your videos. Such a magnificent creature, never gets old! Thank you once again.
Appreciate the kind words, and it's our pleasure to deliver!
All that strutting and wagging is something to behold. Wonderful visuals and audio, I am with you again right there! Thank you!

Fantastic footage! Monarchs of the North!
Thanks you! It was a little shaky but we had no time for tripod setup. Appreciate the comment and thanks for being here!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Shaky means u r up close and personal, not to mention having your head in a swivel for your own safety! Great video!
@@WDFJR16345 actually not as close as it appears but thanks and always have a solid tree -or nine- 😁nearby. Thanks again!!
AWSOME ! Just AWSOME !! Thank You. 👍👍👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it Sue, thanks so much!😃🙏

@@MooseManNaturePhotos Thank you for the info. I just love LH’s genes.😁
@@RaisedinAlaska You're welcome, and ditto here!
Love Grumpy's augmentation
He did know how to accessorize!
The Best. Thank you guys.
Much appreciated!
This is an amazing video. Thank you for all of your hard work❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! We thank you for watching
Briga...briga...briga...eles aparecem assim como estivessem dançando de repente se enfrentam e é um barulhão...animais belíssimos...
