There's two people one of them obviously has a pistol with bullets specifically for big game like brown bears and moose. They didn't just bring a bow also if it got hit it would have took off running the other way.
@@bruderschweigen6889 I don't think that moose had any intentions of running. Even with a pistol. That's a moving target in a high stress situation. Bullets aren't death rays, and usually take time to kill. Even a headshot isn't guaranteed. The hunters made the right call here.
@@JohnDoe-x1s4d I was once challenged by a 9-pointer at 18' out in the front yard. I stand by my view he wasn't challenging the archer. He was saying it's wrong to challenge him, which is the message that bull got from me, so we became friends for three weeks before he moved on to his winter ground. I go by my experience in the woods. 14 black bears too, etc ... Luck had nothing to do with it.
It was swaying his head to show off his antlers….Very much a threat display. Animals don’t just wiggle their sharp adornments around while staring at you out of curiously
I remember the day I saw a moose in person. I was playing in the woods near my grandparents around the time I was 7-8, and heard my parents gasp, they sounded terrified and told me to slowly walk towards them. I looked behind and saw a gigantic animal just… watching me. It felt like all the pines froze in a winter chill at that exact moment. (That was fear) It just stood there. Despite perfectly blending, its antlers were a dead giveaway to what I was observing. As a child I learned real quick that nature is beautiful, and a force one should not play with. I slowly backed away, facing it… I held eye contact with the big guy for what felt like forever but was probably just a couple seconds. I kept glancing back to my parents; seeing them equally horrified was not comforting, and assured me this animal meant business. Eventually, it made a low huffing sound and walked back into the woods; its peaceful saunter crushing the environment like a living steam roller. And then I gained a fear of moose for 5 years. Awesome animals! I think I’d pass out if I ever saw one again though!
I still remember nearly walking straight into a moose during the summer up on the Gunflint Trail, and I’m still unsure about its age or gender (albeit I suspect that it was either a female, or a younger one because it didn’t have any antlers) but I didn’t feel much fear, if any, I was more in awe than anything tbh as that was the first moose I’ve ever seen irl, especially up In those northern beautiful forested areas there, I’ve heard one before at night though, and it was making loud sounds that echoed throughout the forest from across the lake that sounded exactly like the noises that this one was making…. Terrifying to hear at night though, especially since I didn’t know what was making those sounds Until I mentioned it to the group (family was staying in a cabin at a cute little hidden campground and lodge that I had been going to every summer at the same time since I was a kid, along with the usual returning families) as I had never heard the sound before, and I was told that it was likely a moose, and that was a good few years before the first moose sighting had happened, even got a blurry picture of it, but that sound being heard out when you’re alone on a beach at night…. Its absolutely NERVE-RACKING considering how far and well that sound can travel…..!
no need to be that afraid of them unless it has a child, and if ur with a dog, they’re afraid of dogs because hunters use them to hunt them sadly, moose’s would be nicer to humans if we didn’t kill them for money:/
@@Uchiha.Itachiinobody is killing moose for money. Clearly you don’t have a concept of hunting and what it does for conservation. Moose just charge regardless cause that’s how it survives deer run away even if hunting got banned people would still get charged by moose
@@Chamomile.Tea31 when i was a kid i was walking through the forest with my friend and saw something behind the bush. At first i thought it was a human because animals usually run away before we see them but we saw that it's getting up similarly to roe (i think that's how it's called in English), then it was still getting up and getting taller so i thought it was a deer and finally it got taller than any animal I've seen. It started walking in our direction but looked at us and just slowly crossed the path before us. We were standing still not knowing what we're supposed to so i could observe it and figure out that it's a moose. It was kinda scary because it was a big animal and we were alone but i really realized how scary it was when i came home, told my parents, started reading about moose and learned that they are really dangerous when they want
Sometimes the best shot is no shot. That was a handsome fella. Glad you both just said "hey" and went your separate ways. No meat but an incredible story.
A true hunters story. I read once about how certain tribes couldn't kill an animal that approached them. It would not bring honor and would disrespect the animals spirit.
Sometimes you just have sit back and enjoy the scenery. How sporting would it be to take one at point blank range? Bravo to you sir for holding you peace!
There's a greater feeling of power than to take a life. And that is to spare one~ A wise man. Two things i feel i must correct. First: I don't have anything against hunting. I like hunting. Second: Some people(🥴) say things like; the moose could easily kill the hunter. To that i say read the quote again. Does the quote say that the hunter spared the moose? In this case maybe the moose spared the hunter. But the conclusion is the same. A life was spared. Have nice day🦌

@@zanechristiansen I'm sure he was... a few seconds too late! I've been in the same situation with a cow moose with a yearling. Luckily for me, she was wore out & it was raining & she was at her witts end but was too wore out to do anything about it. I didn't want to push her or her yearling out of the only cover they had, towards a highway so I backed off. I could see the stress in her eyes. She was beat down & wore out.
Looked him up and down and said "Look. I admire your courage. I'll give you a single shot. But if you take it, you had better pray to your God that it kills me. For if not, my life will not be the one lost in this glade."
Never shoot an animal that trusts you, words i heard growing up, still a memory of a lifetime for a true outdoorsman. Much respect 🤙 Also, to all the people that have been mocking, or TRYING to troll me and others on the internet. Sorry your lives are so miserable you feel the need to do so. Hope things get better for you and god bless from ole Carolina.
@@tylertapp131 never heard that before but that’s such a good culture to cultivate within hunters. Pocahontas was right about some things, we are all connected in a circle, in a hoop that never ends.
He wasn't backing down. He was avoiding bad shot placement. He moved to readjust his shooting position. Shooting straight on increases the risk of wounding the moose. I'm sure as soon as it turned broadside it was killed.
What a magical creature and experience. By focusing on a camera "shot" instead of a kill, you showed thousands of people the absolute glory of nature. Amazing.
Pamela Rottman .... Beautiful comment. I wish everyone would think this way, and would make something like photography be there hobby rather than killing. ❤
And I have never understood the urge of some people to kill these or other animals in the wild. In my opinion hunting is pure vandalism, nothing else. Senseless! Cruel!
@@platinaatje6134 They taste so yummy tho!!! Honestly though, its hard for people to understand it if they have never done it, but once you go and have a magical interaction with the animal you are hunting it really sparks something in us.
I live out in the country in the Pacific Northwest and I understand hunting but if you aren't hungry you don't always have to end a life for the sake of it. A true Hunter knows when to stand down and show respect.
That's a monster bull! I'm guessing Alaska? He seems like he's never had any interaction with people before. Wasn't spooked at all and came in with a lot of curiosity.
@@xxxthe_poop_banditxxx4374last time I checked they don’t sell moose at restaurants genius plus my cow isn’t walking in the wild and shot by someone with a bow genius
This is legitimately an evolved survival strategy. The only bulls that survive are the ones who walk up to the hunter and just stare at them until they start crying and mumbling something about their father before leaving.
man, people don't realize just how majestic these creatures are. Not even this video does justice to the scale of this creature and how intimidating it really is.
@@TallicaMan1986 when we do moose majesty appreciation, I have to use 2 king size brown blankets to throw over me. Then I start waddling around the house howling “ooodle-oodle-oodle!!”. Then they start to get the rough idea.
@@TallicaMan1986 They certainly are majestic...but very dangerous if provoked...and also when they wander onto the roads and highways, causing some very serious accidents. I live in Maine and it happens frequently.
@@Uchiha.Itachii Where do you think meat in the store comes from? It doesn't just spawn there. Besides, hunters can control populations from getting too big. Plus hunters usually love in a cabin and such, they usually prefer a solitary life away from civilization, that, or they use that meat and give it to the stores for use.
In complete awe of this amazing creature. I can see you were. His eyes are haunting and so beautiful. He's in his home. Thank you for choosing not to end his life. ❤
@BonShula You have quite clearly. Desplayed your ignorance. Examples, mothers of one species of animal. Letting a baby of a truly different animal feed off of her. One species of animal. Protecting a truly different species of animal. Animals asking human beings. To save its young. Animal asking human beings for personal help. Etc, atc, and so fourth.
@@ariesmight6978 Exactly so, animals are sentient beings. Humans don't want to admit it, but animals have proven themselves time and again to have complex thought processes, at least more complex than initially thought.
How do u know he wasn't hunting for food? Actually sometimes it's kind of a "chore" to have to hunt something because you want meat in the freezer. Especially how expensive meat is right now.
@WinnerRust moose attacks occur just slightly more often than "rarely". We lived in Maine for 3 years, 4 people were attacked. Alaska had at least 10, and Colorado had about 5 in 2023. For comparison, California just had it first fatal black bear attack in its history and actaul attacks on humans are exceptionally rare. Dont even get me started on how dangerous cows are... more dangerous than a great white
You did the right thing here. I am a hunter as well, but there are moments when you must step back and admire the animal for what it is, and allow it to live.
Yeah, you actually NEVER have to kill another living thing. Eating out of necessity is one thing, but a vast majority of hunters in western countries aren't doing that.
@@markoniksic3630 there's almost no way one of them doesn't have a pistol or similar semi automatic firearm for situations like this, or bears and big cats
@@ps-ic8pm antlers are not for show except for us humans showing them off in our homes. All animals that have antlers or horns, have them for a reason and it's not merely for show. Infact the biggest reasons a buck has antlers is to find a mate and procreate. You obviously have never been sitting in a tree stand during the rut. I've seen the bucks sparring with each other over a doe so many times. Their antlers have a physical purpose. Fighting off predators is another one and they do this all the time. Yes they also will stomp the hell outta whatever is bothering them but not for show buddy.
@@ps-ic8pm Not for show XD A grown Bull Moose is more dangerous then a grown Grizzly. They will use those antlers too send you too god with same day shipping.

Hello how are you? I want to share you This is a message from your loving God. God is a loving God and want to save us all. God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment. He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus. There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings) Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black. Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that. They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something. But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean. They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now. Thats a lie because: The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea. Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing. A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work. I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God you Will find True love. Read the Bible too please because its a perfect book. Thats how you know God Is real💕🙏. Read what Jesus told because its perfect talk💕🙏

Who ever you are, thank you for sparing the life of that majestic animal. That gesture means more to countless others than the gratification of what a single hunter would have received. Be wise, stay well 👍
@josephusvonmilet3002 Apparently, they are also quite fast, too. They can match the average speed of a car, even while in snow that is waist-deep for humans.
I'm so glad you stood down and let him live. Now he can continue to father many more moose beasts like himself! Thank you for protecting him so his genes can strengthen the moose population! ❤ Also I love how understated his vocalizations are compared to his massive, imposing stature. It's as if he knows he doesn't need to say much bc his presence speaks for itself.😅 What a specimen!
@@shawmiserix404 That's what I was thinking, even if you got a once in a lifetime miracle shot right in one of it's eye balls it would probably just go batshit insane and come kill you still.
I’ll never understand how you can even think of killing such an innocent beautiful animal just wandering his woods. The time it took to build those horns, how many years he has walked those woods and you can just end it in a second. I’ll never understand how you can do that
I'm Alaskan. Seeing a bull moose brings back great memories. I can tell you stories. Like the albino moose who hated VW bugs. If you wanna hear 'em, let me know. All true
@@greg77389 If the hunter shook just a little, and the shot missed its mark by even a small margin, if it didn't scare the bull off, it would win 3 or 4 times before the effects of the shot would matter.
People keep saying that. This guy is a smart hunter. You Don think he has an emergency side arm?? You don't think the camera man is armed also? Look at what they're hunting and encountering out there, they'd be ignorant not to have fail safes in play
@@AjFrancisshomeboySteve I'm sure they're prepared, but an animal that size is still so dangerous. I did think about it. Moose are every bit as dangerous, and territorial as bears. "Fail safes" are fine, until you have a beast like that charging you. My family's cabin is in northern MN, and we've dealt with both. An angry moose is like a freight train in the woods.
There was actually a story recently about someone here in Colorado that tried to bow hunt a huge bull moose. He got mauled. Moose's have thick skin. Sometimes you just gotta say 'mmmm nope'
Almost all wild animals have thick skin, even something like a groundhog or raccoon. No skin on a north American snimal is stopping a cleanly shot arrow.
@@chrishayes5755 I do agree that if you have good aim, and a well prepared arrow you can down anything from a moose to a small ground squirrel. However, moose are objectively harder to down than a ground squirrel. Obviously. I was mostly referring to size and... determination when I said 'thick skin'. Not even mentioning the fact that if you do miss, bull moose especially, are much more likely to become aggressive compared to something more skittish like a mule or white tail. tl:dr, moose big, must have experience, and you're right.
@@VauxBat while I agree that there are better/more effective methods of hunting, when it's done well it can 100% be fun and safe. I prefer when people bowhunt smaller game (for efficiency), though. There are way too many stray arrows found in wildlife. It's a valuable skill and hobby once mastered.
Get real not everyone can do this and this is just the Internet the world isn't beautiful and life isn't beautiful it's a POS! stop letting these videos lie to you about the reality of the world
@@mazklassa9338 says someone who likely doesn't understand what those animals do to the ecosystem when they're overpopulated. You thought humans were bad? fauna can turn the countryside into a desert when their numbers get out of hand.
I'm not one to think humans are above other animals. But I can't ignore the tick-infested reality of how dirty wild animals are. I am also beholden to the knowledge that whatever knowledge a moose possesses, it doesn't have the biological ability to derive wisdom from any of it. So... majestic? Knowledgeable? Certainly a living being to be respected, but not so idyllic as you believe.
it wasnt respect, lol. it was the hunter realising that if he missed he was dead and wouldnt be able to escape the stampede and the mouse knowing he wasnt in danger.
There is definitely something in those eyes man. I've had many close ups with moose being a Mainer/ Maniack and all but those eyes!! They're starng into your soul friend. There is a spirit in there for sure😮
That would of taken at Least 2to 3 Perfect Shots 2 take that Beautiful 😍 Creature Down,.. Good for YOU BACKING UP AND JUST HAVING A CONNECTION WITH THAT FINE ANIMAL THAT DAYYYYY!?

@@terrywatson1644 and you killed it i assume? Or did those eyes say we are both part of this wonderful world and let's just be happy. I won't kill you if you don't do the same?
People seem to think animals are mindless creatures. But they are intelligent. They each have their own personalities, funny behavior, and quirks. They also have emotions just as we do. Thank you for sparing his life! I wish that was always the case so these magnificent creatures can be enjoyed and live their lives peacefully.
Animals are even more intelligent than humans in some fields (when not in all) They are able to see through your soul. They know how you feel. The can see what you experienced in your life in the past and what bothers you still. To anyone who is interested watch videos on “animals communicator”
Respect 💯❣️ I live in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and every once in a while, you just recognize the majesty and dominance of certain animals. Whether they’re bears, cougars, moose, or elk, a true hunter can and must recognize the alpha male of the pack, and respect the honour their due! *edited a typo only.
I suppose you view yourself as an equal? But, you would turn down the fight out of "respect". The truth is, you are a coward. You only want to kill animals (and maybe people) who are "weaker" than you.
Sometimes they just decide to run you over and get to stomping anyways. Quite a dangerous situation. I wouldn't want to end it. Seems like a waste to do so.
I’m Canadian, from rural Ontario. Every fall my dad would spend a week “deer hunting” with his buddies - mostly an excuse to get drunk and away from the hum-drum small town life. They were pretty far into Ontario’s enormous Algonquin Park. My dad’s big Citroën could take five of them anywhere a Jeep could. All was well until their departure from their hunt, whereupon they needed to back the Citroën down half a mile of single track. What should appear before (behind?) them as they reversed was an enormous bull moose, evidently disturbed at being woken from his afternoon nap. My dad stopped the car. Not a good idea. The moose started champing at the forest floor with his huge front hoofs. This is the universal signal for an imminent charge. Back into reverse went the Citroën. Snorting and shaking his antlers went the moose. My dad figured he’d set a speed record for driving one of those French cars in reverse. But male no mistake, he told me. That animal was not bluffing. So when you encounter something the bears run away from, you’d best not dilly-dally.
He wasn't gonna kill it anyway, unless he managed to hit it straight between the eyes. And even then, moose are absolute tanks, there's a good chance it woudlnt have done anything to it
Bow hunter here. He didn’t shoot that moose because he never have a good shot in first place. He was probably waiting for the bull to turn broadside and expose his heart and vital organs and he never did. Kudos to the hunter for having the discipline to wait for an ethical shot.
That was my first thought, he didn't have a kill shot, only a nick it in the face and really piss it off shot. So your theory has traction about the hunter had discipline and ethics, but I also saw he had awe and terror in the way he backed away, which ruins any shot.
A bull moose that large has probably already mated several times and therefore harvesting him would increase the diversity of the herd for the younger generations. It’s part of resource management set by the DNR for his state.
Bro it seemed like the hunter wouldn’t be able to do shit with that bow to that beast💀 hunter chose wisely or he would have been speared against a tree and turned into mush
Mose kill more hunters than bears. This was a dangerously close encounter and that little cross bow would not have done enough damage to keep him out of danger. Likely would have angered the moose causing it to attack the man and both would have been injured… or hunter likely dead

@@eddiesneeh4266 we should be thanking the bull for sparing the man’s life buddy not the other way around. That arrow would have done virtually nothing to the moose
That is a really really big guy!!!! 😮 I held my breath when he got really close to that gentleman!!! How AWESOME that is to have such a creature come out to say HI!!!😊
He didn't just say "hi". He gave a very clear message to the hunter who's in power there. Most people are so denaturalized, they are no longer able to sense it, but even the video radiates a small glimpse of it.
you cannot shoot an animal this large and powerful with a bow when they know you are there. You will probably die before they do. You would have to sever this things spinal cord with the arrow to have any hope of surviving shooting this animal once he knows you are there. A moose is the most dangerous animal in north america. It's the hippo of the canadian shield. Seeing a large bull in person is a truly disorienting, staggering experience. It's like being face to face with a T-rex or something.
I was getting ready to cry..I thought he was going to kill him.😢 What a beautiful animal just beautiful! I hope nobody hurts him. They should just leave him alone. Just look at him he is gorgeous! Thank you sir for not hurting him.

@@oliviastar3812 You can literally see how unbalance the moose is, and young mooses that reach that height. That thing is old dude. Only reason the hunter didn't kill it was because he didn't have a good angle, that's a compound bow. Those things can kill a moose.
What you just witnessed was someone who was overcome by the magnificence of the moment. It was more important to live in that moment than ruin it by taking the shot. I agree with him. That moment was more important.
Overcome by the magnificence of the moment, or the instinct of self-preservation? Would a moose that huge drop instantly if he took the shot you reckon?
You can just feel the majesty of this Moose. I think the hunter was awed as well because he dropped his bow and just let him be. Hunters are not bad people. The good ones respect and honor the animals they hunt. They can be awed in the moment. Thank you for posting.
Umm... I'm also pretty sure that hunter just didn't want to die. He'd have to get damn lucky to take that thing out with one shot, and wouldn't have gotten a second. Not taking the shot was smart.

I looked behind and saw a gigantic animal just… watching me. It felt like all the pines froze in a winter chill at that exact moment. (That was fear)
It just stood there. Despite perfectly blending, its antlers were a dead giveaway to what I was observing.
As a child I learned real quick that nature is beautiful, and a force one should not play with. I slowly backed away, facing it… I held eye contact with the big guy for what felt like forever but was probably just a couple seconds.
I kept glancing back to my parents; seeing them equally horrified was not comforting, and assured me this animal meant business.
Eventually, it made a low huffing sound and walked back into the woods; its peaceful saunter crushing the environment like a living steam roller.
And then I gained a fear of moose for 5 years. Awesome animals!
I think I’d pass out if I ever saw one again though!
I still remember nearly walking straight into a moose during the summer up on the Gunflint Trail, and I’m still unsure about its age or gender (albeit I suspect that it was either a female, or a younger one because it didn’t have any antlers) but I didn’t feel much fear, if any, I was more in awe than anything tbh as that was the first moose I’ve ever seen irl, especially up In those northern beautiful forested areas there, I’ve heard one before at night though, and it was making loud sounds that echoed throughout the forest from across the lake that sounded exactly like the noises that this one was making…. Terrifying to hear at night though, especially since I didn’t know what was making those sounds Until I mentioned it to the group (family was staying in a cabin at a cute little hidden campground and lodge that I had been going to every summer at the same time since I was a kid, along with the usual returning families) as I had never heard the sound before, and I was told that it was likely a moose, and that was a good few years before the first moose sighting had happened, even got a blurry picture of it, but that sound being heard out when you’re alone on a beach at night…. Its absolutely NERVE-RACKING considering how far and well that sound can travel…..!
no need to be that afraid of them unless it has a child, and if ur with a dog, they’re afraid of dogs because hunters use them to hunt them sadly, moose’s would be nicer to humans if we didn’t kill them for money:/

@@Chamomile.Tea31 when i was a kid i was walking through the forest with my friend and saw something behind the bush. At first i thought it was a human because animals usually run away before we see them but we saw that it's getting up similarly to roe (i think that's how it's called in English), then it was still getting up and getting taller so i thought it was a deer and finally it got taller than any animal I've seen. It started walking in our direction but looked at us and just slowly crossed the path before us. We were standing still not knowing what we're supposed to so i could observe it and figure out that it's a moose. It was kinda scary because it was a big animal and we were alone but i really realized how scary it was when i came home, told my parents, started reading about moose and learned that they are really dangerous when they want
Sometimes the best shot is no shot. That was a handsome fella. Glad you both just said "hey" and went your separate ways. No meat but an incredible story.

I read once about how certain tribes couldn't kill an animal that approached them. It would not bring honor and would disrespect the animals spirit.

Hello how are you? I want to share you
This is a message from your loving God.
God is a loving God and want to save us all.
God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment.
He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus.
There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings)
Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black.
Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that.
They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something.
But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean.
They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now.
Thats a lie because:
The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea.
Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing.

When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much.

@@seancollins3106 Generally, people have NO idea the importance of what you speak of!
What a blessing to witness♥️
People keep saying that. This guy is a smart hunter. You Don think he has an emergency side arm?? You don't think the camera man is armed also? Look at what they're hunting and encountering out there, they'd be ignorant not to have fail safes in play
@@AjFrancisshomeboySteve I'm sure they're prepared, but an animal that size is still so dangerous. I did think about it. Moose are every bit as dangerous, and territorial as bears. "Fail safes" are fine, until you have a beast like that charging you. My family's cabin is in northern MN, and we've dealt with both. An angry moose is like a freight train in the woods.
There was actually a story recently about someone here in Colorado that tried to bow hunt a huge bull moose. He got mauled. Moose's have thick skin. Sometimes you just gotta say 'mmmm nope'
Almost all wild animals have thick skin, even something like a groundhog or raccoon. No skin on a north American snimal is stopping a cleanly shot arrow.
@@chrishayes5755 I do agree that if you have good aim, and a well prepared arrow you can down anything from a moose to a small ground squirrel. However, moose are objectively harder to down than a ground squirrel. Obviously. I was mostly referring to size and... determination when I said 'thick skin'.
Not even mentioning the fact that if you do miss, bull moose especially, are much more likely to become aggressive compared to something more skittish like a mule or white tail.
tl:dr, moose big, must have experience, and you're right.
bow hunting is stupid
@@VauxBat while I agree that there are better/more effective methods of hunting, when it's done well it can 100% be fun and safe. I prefer when people bowhunt smaller game (for efficiency), though. There are way too many stray arrows found in wildlife. It's a valuable skill and hobby once mastered.
It fed enough people to eventually allow someone to spawn your ass. I guess i agree...

You thought humans were bad? fauna can turn the countryside into a desert when their numbers get out of hand.
I'm pretty sure he didn't do it cause he probably wouldn't live long enough to enjoy it. An animal that big doesn't go down easy
I'm not one to think humans are above other animals. But I can't ignore the tick-infested reality of how dirty wild animals are. I am also beholden to the knowledge that whatever knowledge a moose possesses, it doesn't have the biological ability to derive wisdom from any of it.
So... majestic? Knowledgeable? Certainly a living being to be respected, but not so idyllic as you believe.
Appreciate you sharing this. really encapsulates how strong this animal is.
THAT is a beautiful and majestic Beast! What an experience. I love that it ended with such a respectful acknowledgement of each other.
The Man Don't Deserve Respect , a sport hunter is different then a subsistence one
it wasnt respect, lol. it was the hunter realising that if he missed he was dead and wouldnt be able to escape the stampede and the mouse knowing he wasnt in danger.

People seem to think animals are mindless creatures. But they are intelligent. They
each have their own personalities, funny behavior, and quirks. They also have emotions just as we do. Thank you for sparing his life! I wish that was always the case so these magnificent creatures can be enjoyed and live their lives peacefully.
so i guess youll never eat a steak or a hamburger right? bc cows have emotions?

Animals are even more intelligent than humans in some fields (when not in all)
They are able to see through your soul. They know how you feel. The can see what you experienced in your life in the past and what bothers you still.

Respect 💯❣️
I live in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and every once in a while, you just recognize the majesty and dominance of certain animals. Whether they’re bears, cougars, moose, or elk, a true hunter can and must recognize the alpha male of the pack, and respect the honour their due!
*edited a typo only.
💯 % agree
I suppose you view yourself as an equal? But, you would turn down the fight out of "respect". The truth is, you are a coward. You only want to kill animals (and maybe people) who are "weaker" than you.
@MsK-xm7vw that's the thing, most hunters seen to want to kill the alpha male. The largest and more majestic creature then they off it.

@@andrewgates8158nah, sometimes they get to get away xd
Sometimes they just decide to run you over and get to stomping anyways. Quite a dangerous situation. I wouldn't want to end it. Seems like a waste to do so.
I’m Canadian, from rural Ontario. Every fall my dad would spend a week “deer hunting” with his buddies - mostly an excuse to get drunk and away from the hum-drum small town life.
They were pretty far into Ontario’s enormous Algonquin Park. My dad’s big Citroën could take five of them anywhere a Jeep could.
All was well until their departure from their hunt, whereupon they needed to back the Citroën down half a mile of single track. What should appear before (behind?) them as they reversed was an enormous bull moose, evidently disturbed at being woken from his afternoon nap.
My dad stopped the car. Not a good idea. The moose started champing at the forest floor with his huge front hoofs. This is the universal signal for an imminent charge.
Back into reverse went the Citroën. Snorting and shaking his antlers went the moose. My dad figured he’d set a speed record for driving one of those French cars in reverse.
But male no mistake, he told me. That animal was not bluffing. So when you encounter something the bears run away from, you’d best not dilly-dally.
Lol
That voice in your head that says
"No, you lose"
When faced against a Moose.
He listened to that one.
This has got to be the best film footage I have ever seen of a moose. And I have seen several. Brilliant camera work!!
Thank you for giving another day. He deserves this. ❤
He wasn't gonna kill it anyway, unless he managed to hit it straight between the eyes. And even then, moose are absolute tanks, there's a good chance it woudlnt have done anything to it
@@morganpowell94 Yes that man was given another day to live. Lol
@@morganpowell94 that moose deserves to live in peace for all his days.
Bow hunter here. He didn’t shoot that moose because he never have a good shot in first place. He was probably waiting for the bull to turn broadside and expose his heart and vital organs and he never did. Kudos to the hunter for having the discipline to wait for an ethical shot.
I image that the animal could also be "too close to shoot", especially with bow and arrow, right? Safety and all that
Nah, he could have placed it easily in the kill zone at that range.
That was my first thought, he didn't have a kill shot, only a nick it in the face and really piss it off shot. So your theory has traction about the hunter had discipline and ethics, but I also saw he had awe and terror in the way he backed away, which ruins any shot.
I dont hunt or anything, but i assummed he didnt shoot because if he couldnt get a kill shot the moose may have attacked (?)
@@brutallyhonestmf5578 "Ethical shot" is an oxymoron. It's not ethical to kill something that doesn't want to die.
You ain’t killing no Moose with that bow unless you’re Genghis Khan.
I am so glad that you did not kill that beautiful bull moose. He deserves to live, and mate.❤🫎
If he was further away the guy would’ve taken the shot. He only didn’t because the moose was dangerously close to
A bull moose that large has probably already mated several times and therefore harvesting him would increase the diversity of the herd for the younger generations. It’s part of resource management set by the DNR for his state.
It’s an animal it doesn’t deserve anything
Bro it seemed like the hunter wouldn’t be able to do shit with that bow to that beast💀 hunter chose wisely or he would have been speared against a tree and turned into mush
Mose kill more hunters than bears. This was a dangerously close encounter and that little cross bow would not have done enough damage to keep him out of danger. Likely would have angered the moose causing it to attack the man and both would have been injured… or hunter likely dead
Mutual respect in nature. Both could have killed one another.
I watched it several times and the moose has the kindest eyes. Thank you for not killing him and I wish him and you a long life. He is beautiful.

He didn't just say "hi". He gave a very clear message to the hunter who's in power there.
Most people are so denaturalized, they are no longer able to sense it, but even the video radiates a small glimpse of it.
Sorry.. he wasn't stupid enough to get "that close".. simply zoomed in closer with the camera!

@@jantjarks7946 Absolutely, force to be reckoned with!
@@jantjarks7946 the hunter would have been toast they can take 15 shots in them and still run 100 yards
you cannot shoot an animal this large and powerful with a bow when they know you are there. You will probably die before they do. You would have to sever this things spinal cord with the arrow to have any hope of surviving shooting this animal once he knows you are there. A moose is the most dangerous animal in north america. It's the hippo of the canadian shield. Seeing a large bull in person is a truly disorienting, staggering experience. It's like being face to face with a T-rex or something.
