The Top Five Moose: Part Three. This is it folks! Good morning, you’ve watched the first two parts of Libby’s Top Five Bulls. Numbers five through two were featured in the first two parts. Now it’s time for her favorite. Drum roll please.
Once again we’ll let Libby’s narration tell her story and as you will see, this video is very special to her and maybe to some of you as well.
I am quite far behind in my own top five video, it’s been super busy since we got home from Alaska, but I will get to it soon and share it with pride once I finish it.
It’d be great if some of you would really take these clips in, maybe watch them a couple times. Every post is meaningful to us, but these past three videos have been quite a bit more special to share.
Thanks for watching our channel, we are the husband/wife team of Rick and Libby Libbey, (Libby squared), New Hampshire wildlife photographers (and part time Alaska.) It is our passion to document wildlife of any kind, but moose are definitely at the top. In New Hampshire we spend a lot of our spring/summer hours in kayaks photographing loons and moose in the waters of New Hampshire. And hike many miles in Alaska seeking all manner of wildlife in the fall.

That is so good and insightful!! You guys really work at it!!! wonderful!
Thanks so much, OC77. Really appreciate this comment. We love sharing what these animals teach us, and they have a lot to say!
Yes , Thank You Grumpy. ❤️ Your offspring will live on for you. Sweet Dreams Big Guy.
We sure hope to find and document his young bull offspring this year coming up. Fingers crossed!
I feel so fortunate to see your videos and learn about these animals. Thank you!
Thank you for this lovely comment, Beth! And thank you for being here with us on this journey! And...you're most welcome!
Merci ! pour ces belles images !!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate that
Grumpy is my favorite and can’t wait to see his offsprings …. He’ll be missed very much !!!!!
We would think we'd see his male offspring this year, they'd be old enough to recognize as his get. Fingers crossed, but we know he lives on in them. Still, you're right, he's very much missed.
Me love you long time! Best moose show I've ever seen or herd... tee hee
🤭Thanks catherine!
Good mini documentary
Thank you SP!
Fantastic video! Grumpy was certainly one of a kin:d: A cross between Don Juan and Mike Tyson with a little more tolerance, patience and charisma added. The valley certainly changed in his absence.
Thanks, R! You nailed it with the Grumpster! He was all that and a bag of chips, wasn't he? Swagger sure threw a spanner in the works this year, coming in guns blazing and sending the others out of their established territories. We shall see what happens next year!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos I’m pulling for Left Hook. 💪🏽
@@RaisedinAlaska I'm with you! I t may seem that I dissed him in my top 5, but I didn't want to forget some very memorable (to me) characters in Shred and Hook. But Left Hook sure has a vote from me too. I hope he rules next year!

Thank You so very much for sharing this..I haven't been fortunate enough yet to see a Moose in the wild. I went looking in Maine last Fall. They are on my BUCKET LIST.
Thank you for watching! It is our pleasure to bring these moose to you. We know it's disappointing going to Maine and coming back without seeing a moose. That's the way it is of late, sadly. (And why we go to Alaska every year now in the fall.) Good luck, you WILL see a moose! Just have to look in the right place at the right time, yes?
Moosehead Lake- I saw 7 moose in 3 days here. Stay at Black Bear Cabins in Rockwood (cheap and great!) and head toward a small unincorporated town called Taunton and Raynham Academy Grant then stay put by the bogs for a while. You can also check out Rangeley Lakes region. Also, Jackman Maine, 100 Mile Woods and Kojadko region. Be careful with a regular car here though- too many dirt roads to count. The pavement ends in Kojadko. Sorry to be nosy but I love Maine and moose so just wanted to help :)
@@TheINFJChannel Thanks very much for all the great intel here. Appreciate it. We've gone all over, Baxter and beyond. And I know better than to drive a car on many of those roads...we have a truck. Gotta have more clearance than a car offers. Moose love bogs, and if you can get a kayak into an area they frequent, you've got a good chance of hanging with one as it eats. Thanks again for all the great info!
Libby, wasn’t surprised in the least that Grumpy was your favorite. Glad he was though! I almost started crying, crazy! Never got to see him personally, but there was just something about him! He has been the only bull that I knew instantly that it was him when I saw a photo of him! Guess it’s time for me to start really looking closely at the tale telling markings to make out a few of the others now!
Хх
Grumpy was quite the Casanova ❤️
He was indeed.
Definitely, a moose magnet!
He was The Man for sure!
Loved your video! Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks so much Carol! Appreciate that!
I grew up in Anchorage. By the time l was in Jr High we figured out that we could spread salt around to bait the moose to our doorstep. Mom already
Went to work...They were soooo big!
Yes, there's a reason they don't salt the roads there for ice treatment; because it would bring the moose in, inviting car strikes. They tend to hang out in the salt barns here in the northeast for their sodium fix. Or lick it off the cars. Parked! that is!! Cool story, thanks for the share!
سبحان الله سبحان المبدع الخالق
Very educational video. I have always been facinated by Moose ever since I realized how gigantic they are.
Glad you enjoyed it. We love sharing what the moose have taught us (as well as biologists and others who know them well). It fascinates us. They are such unique animals. Thank you for being here.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos did someone kill him? So sad!
@@karynpappel1318 We have a video here explaining it: ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
Grumpy was the MAN!💪
Stud muffin for sure
Drive’n the Ladies wild 😜
His specialty!
I'm so glad this video fell into my recommended page. Awesome footage! And an all around great story line, that was one cool a$$ moose.
Thanks for joining along with us, glad we were recommended. Appreciate the compliment. More to come with other kick a$$ moose!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Yeah I had to watch several of your other videos while I was at it, cool stuff.
I've seen one moose in the wild in my life, I live in Washington State, and that was 50+ years ago, but I remember it well.
I had to scroll through the comments of the Grumpy video to find the demise of ol' Grumpy, now the broken neck is just a theory right?
@@tonyr.3435 It's what Fish and Game and a ranger thought had happened after surveying the site but of course no necropsies due to bears.
@@tonyr.3435 Could have sworn I answered this already but maybe I didn't commit to replying? Anyway, yes it was the theory by all who surveyed the site (including AKF&G and park rangers in the first day or so. No way to tell, no necropsies due to bears in the area. They closed the trails at that end of the parks.
very interesting WOW !!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Grumpy was amazing😢😢😢
HI there, we love this comment and yes he was. Such a remarkable bull
سبحان الخالق العظيم
I had to giggle when they ran into the scrub to "do it"
We have it on video! But didn't post it because THAT OTHER format we use doesn't LIKE that type of thing!
He is so handsome my goodness
Sorry I missed this comment! And yes, he is very handsome!
great footage
Thanks very much! Appreciate that!
This is great stuff! With domestic dairy goats, the eau de bouc plays a critical role in bringing the does into estrus. Since most goatkeepers do not own a buck, we use a "buck jar"(a rag rubbed on the head and neck of a rutting buck, kept in a jar) for an anestrous doe to smell; this will bring her into heat! Like deer, goats have a seasonal rut. It is a matriarchal society. I LOVED your moose cows vying for the heavenly peed-in pit! (I`ve smelled them!)
Willi B. in Canada.
How very interesting, Willi B! I never knew that about goats. But it sure makes everything in that world make sense, literally, in that it's the sense of smell that triggers estrus. The cow moose will kick a bull away from his pit and drench themselves in the perfume (nothing like the smell of burnt rubber with Pine Sol in the morning!) and I have always suspected that not only keeps the cows close to the source (bull) but also must bring them into estrus. Thanks for that, I've asked biologists and they kind of shrug, not sure. It sure is a fun thing to watch though! Thanks so much for the comment and for joining us!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Dear Libby, My pleasure! I am a lifelong farmer and naturalist, also a student of deer. That`s funny, I never thought moose wallows smelled like burnt rubber and "Pine sol", but then, our noses are all wired somewhat differently. I can hunt using my nose. You know how women who live together will synchronise their cycles? Smell is far too underrated in our society. To my mind, good natural smells are part of what makes for quality of life. WHEEEEEEEEE! (Ms.) Willi B. in Canada
@@ackphui5813 Pleased to meet you Ms Willi B! Yes, I know of the women's cycle syndrome. So cool, nature. My sense of smell is skewed for sure, not as keen as it should be, but I do know that a walk through a rut pit isn't as bad as getting skunked!
Awesome 👍
Many thanks!
Beautiful work.
Thank you very much. And Happy New Year!
I didn’t expect to watch this and have a mental break down 😭
Sorry about that. Yeah, it was tough, losing Grumpy this year. Very very tough. 😟 And...(breakdown aside), thanks for watching!
Fantastic video, they are beautiful creatures. 👍🏻
They are magnificent for sure. Thanks so much. Happy New Year!
It's fascinating. In Québec, we're studying their comportement in rut pit with trail cam. Most of the Quebec, it's closed area, we have alot of forest, so the comportement may change from what you can observe on your side. In Quebec with a moderate density of moose, we can observe 2 primes bull sharing cow with each other, it's very rare that we see a harem with 5-6 cows and with 1 prime bull, like Grumpy in your video. We explain that by the large number of cow, so they tolerate each other because they're not able to mate all of them. Keep up the good work, because there is alot of sexual behavior similar to Quebec.
Thank you and your observations are spot on. Mostly moose don't harem. We only know them to do that in AK due to their numbers, animals seem to cluster in small satellite groups during the rut. here, in the Northeast, the bulls have to travel to find a mate and once they do, they stick by her but they don't have the population for such harems. We have never seen dominant bulls share a cow, but the cows will move between bull territories (studies done by Vic Van Ballenburghe in Denali range, AK prove this out. Thanks very much for the comment. We learn something every rut season, that's for sure!
On se retrouve ici Pierre-Alexandre!
Grumpy was a lover, not a fighter.
It's true. He seemed to not really have to fight much. And wow did the girls love him!
It's entertaining to watch this isn't it? I've seen 3-4 but not 6. Grumpy must be a real stud muffin. He has a good blood line. The offspring will be fun to watch.
So true, Neil. We can't wait to ID some of his get. We hope to get a lens on another big belled youngster roaming the valleys this year!
Grumpy and mismatch are gone now as i understand it. Were they taken by hunters? Grumpy would be a prize for sure.
Not hunters but I think you saw how it went down. Bull moose fight, tangled in tight spot in trees, stumbled/fell one on top of and pinning the other. Both died of broken necks.
So what happened to grumpy anyway did he get shot? Did he die of old age? Thanks!
Here's our RUclips video about it: ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
Just think of how much stronger the human race would be if only the strongest people were allowed to breed instead of the morons that are procreating.
@@Mike-qk9ys Indeed. Now strength is decided by who draws first.
Great video!!
Thank you very much!
I can't tell u how much I enjoyed this Video, ❤️...I had a feeling Grumpy was your #1🥇🤗...Grumpy was a, Smooth Operator, 😂...that's why he had all the Cows, 😂...ladies, ladies, your going to have to pick a number, 😂...but on a serious note, the Footage is Incredible!

Hey MP!!! Ontario!!🐂🧆🧆🧆/🇨🇦 🇨🇦!! Yes, I had to make Grumpy my number one.👑🏆 👑He deserved it. Not just because we lost him, not at all; he would have been my number one anyway. Cuz he taught us SO much. And was SO tolerant and let us in. His eye 👁was unlike any other. It would get so soft and almost inquisitive. Made you wanna run up and hug him.🤗🤗 (Uh...no!)
And you know it's our passion to document 🎥📷🎬 and be among these amazing creatures, all of them, but especially moose🐂(really? you don't say!) (🤣😂) And even better'n that? is sharing it with people like YOU (no, WRONG, you're one of a kind! lemme rephrase) --with people who like. love, 😍appreciate, and wanna learn more about moose. (YOU are on the same level we are!) 🤣😂🥰🤩🥰🤩 Anyway, as always and ever and ever, thank you for your wonderful, colorful, fun, poignant, lovely, thoughtful, and kind comments.

Thank you!
Wow !! This is a wonderfully beautiful video. I see why you held Grumpy in such high regard. He is the king of the forest, lord over all he surveys LOL That being said, when I am reincarnated I want to come back as Grumpy .
Thank you for the very kind comment, Sheldon. And HAHAHA yes, Grumpy was a BIG hit with the ladies!!! They were at a loss this year with him gone. They didn't want any of the other bulls! It was an upside down rut this year for sure. All because Swagger came in and pushed the other dominant bulls out. Including our dear Grumpy. RIP big guy. We miss you!
🙂👍
🙏☺
Any idea when he passed? Was he An older moose? Thank you for sharing his life with us
Here's the story and video I did of it: Nothing graphic, I did not post any images or video from it. ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
I gotta admit. 5:00 she was askin' for it.
And so it was!
Grumpy's secret was to eat lots of asparagus.
There's an awesome lesson, Popeye, move over, it's not about spinach any more! haha love it.
rip grumpy
I am sorry about Grumpy's passing. Was it old age that took him?
Here, this is easier than typing: ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
is that where the moose died where it lied down at end of video ?
Not at all. He was fine there. Just tired. That was last year. This is the story: ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
Nhiều con Nai cái đến thời kỳ đã vây quanh gạ gẫm Nai đực.
Có, và anh ấy sẽ tận dụng điều đó một khi họ cho thấy rằng họ dễ tiếp thu anh ấy. Chúng tôi mong đợi để nhìn thấy một số trẻ của mình!
From now on just call me Grumpy.
Yeah, he had it going on!
Wait! How did Grumpy die anyways?
Watch the video I made of it: ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
So what happened to grumpy ? How did he die ?
Here is our post: ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
Sorry, I'm new to this channel. What happened to Grumpy?
ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
With all that action how could you possibly name him Grumpy?
Ha! I KNOW! He was the stud! But i named him based on a Bad Day he was having, a first impression and omg he was a GRUMP!!! Since then? An absolute happy moose (no kidding, he was a babe magnet!)
@@MooseManNaturePhotos
My best friend from High School use to go on and on about how great his grandmother's pot roast was. One day we decided to call him Pot Roast, 40 years later we still call him Pot Roast. Funny how nicknames are born 🤣
@@MisfitsFiendClub138 So true. Pot Roast. I like it! 😁
Got to know what happen to Grumpy?? Anyone.
Grumpy and another equally large bull were both killed in a fight. Not a lock up, they were killed when their battle occurred in a very dense and tightly treed area where they got tripped up and wedged in the trees, the one bull falling on top of Grumpy. Both broke their necks, it is believed. Sad and tragic and very unusual.
Thank you, that's so sad, and a surprisingly rare event. That type of tragedy usually involves man's damn barbed wire fencing entanglements of some sort.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Very Fitting !! Went out doing what he Loved. F/F. !!
@@dadscavaliers642 Yeah, not this time. Still a freaky thing. Sad.
@@markboeckner2491 Nah, he was a lover not a fighter!
I couldn’t get what happened to him . Did he died..?.
Here's our video on that ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
You can call him Grimpy but, he seem to be a real gentleman.
at 4:00 this is pretty much my life
Lucky you!
So where did Grumpy go? What happened?
This explains it Candy: ruclips.net/video/Pwz_HkzlQTg/видео.html
Such beautiful animals, why would someone want to kill them.
I know! We just want to "shoot" them with Nikon and Sony!!
attach this to the sex education class that is ok'd by the "justice" dept.
HA yes, because it doesn't show any mating! That happens days later. We're safe. (aren't we worried...HA!)
How he died?🤔
Killed in a fight with another bull who also died. Tragic and freak accident.
Boring has nuthin to do with an interaction between a bear and a moose
I have no idea where this comment comes from... ???
It's probably just a conspiricy a cover up of his real death a broken neck by falling over or getting killed by a massive grizzly. This woman would clearly want to cover up the truth. A death by a ferocious bear.
@@1222-u5r This is an absurd comment. You weren't there. You didn't see what happened. Read the article in Outdoor Life if you don't believe us. I really don't appreciate you basically calling me/us a liar here. If there had been death by a bear I would have SAID SO!!! I strongly suggest that next time, before you comment like this, check the FACTS.
Lovely, amazing shots!
I sit here, at 4am with my artistic nature leading me to your videos of beautiful moose to compositionally create accurate and majestic portrayals of some of my favorite animals... I hope you don't mind if I use them as references in some of my art!!! 💖💖💖
Grumpy is simply gorgeous! Thank you for sharing him with us!
I have only seen moose once in my life... In the Jemez in NM a few years agony (I live just outside). It was apparently a very rare sighting this far south and ever since, I've been obsessed with moose! Your videos are beautiful, thank you so much for sharing! 💖
Thank you for your lovely comment, Re. We are honored to have our photos used as reference to your artistic talents. If it is ever appropriate to do so, all we ask is credit for the reference photo in name. Now, go create! We would love to see what you come up with! And...wow! That's a VERY unusual sighting down there in NM!!! I would have said it would be more likely to see a unicorn than a moose there. How cool that you got to see it! And thank you for the kind words. We are happy to share what we learn from and with these amazing animals. It's all about resecting their space. Bears, wolves, moose, loons, matters not. They all just want to be left alone. Grumpy was the one who really let us in and showed us the ropes of the rut. Thank you for being here with us!
Какие красивые .
Спасибо за просмотр!
Grumpy animal
That was his name but he was anything but Grumpy!
Just thought I would let hunters berry pickers trappers know but an older trapper close to our family believes he saw a grizzly polar bear hybread way up north in Ontario Canada closer to James bay low lands in ring of fire area and we don't have grizzly bears in Ontario as far as THE MNR says but they say polar bears are coming more South every year and I've heard that there has been some mateing between the two anyways he knows his bears animals it was not a black bear it was bigger and had more white and brown plus the claws were long said it looked scary he is always armed but swears it was this past fall he doesn't believe in cell phones so taking his word and has no reason to lie but they said it was happening and said it would be the scariest bear alive with grizzly and polar bear just a scary thought I mean a big black bear could do same thing with polar bear anyways be safe just shows ice is later and later every year now and starts pushing things that should be way up north coming closer South for food there was already a documentary and it showed grizzly bears and polar bears feeding together on a dead whale crazy people that don't believe in global warming if it isn't that it's something causing weather all over the world to change but if there is one hybread bear has to be more ok just want anyone going into Bush to whatch there back and be prepared he had said he noticed a few black bears in December that were still not dened up and said means winter bear with one thing on mind food whatch your dogs kids be safe by for now
We heard this also. And it's very true that warming is pushing animals beyond their usual bounds and ranges. Moose are seeking northern territories because they can't handle heat. The winter ticks are killing them here in new England because the winters aren't harsh enough to kill the ticks that don't find a host. It is always wise to watch one's back in the bush. There are hungry apex predators about and cover is an issue in the thick growth. Good luck out there, all. Stay safe!
