- The moose rut can get crazy. This huge bull dethroned the dominate bull in the area the night prior and he was making sure everyone knew who was now in charge. Did I say charge? Oh, there was some of that too. Come and check out the craziness.

Terrific footage!! And nerves😳
Great video Ray, thank you for sharing.
Thank you, it was a fabulous day to be outside.
The speed in which a creature that size can gather is absolutely Amazing!! Great video and captures as always!!
Thank you so kindly Aaron.

She hangs around him, rubs against him, and when he's ready she plays hard to get by walking away, LOL. They really have a language all their own. Great video, thanks!!
Thank you, moose are certainly interesting critters.
Incredible footage and resolution Ray!!!!
Thank you very much, it was a fantastic day to be outside and not get stopped.
That last bit of footage will get the heart racing! Incredible footage...thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for watching, it was certainly a day to be remembered.
I was charged by a young cow three times in succession in Anchorage. It was very nerve wracking. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be charged by a full grown bull with a rack that size.
It was a little unnerving.
This is the best footage by far of elk I have ever seen.. thks
😁
Wow that’s some great footage. Thanks for sharing
Thank you.
OMG RAY!!!! HAHAHAHA that was a blast! Now I have to drink some coffee to CALM my pulse!!
Thanks, hope to see you today.😁
Old Banjo Nose is formidable and not to be trifled with. That they can move so gracefully and with such speed and silence always amazes me. Great video, thanks.
Thank you for watching and commenting. He is an amazing animal.
I think you were being foolish for being so close to active rutting moose. I have had a number of hair raising encounters with rutting moose, Not to mention losing a friend from getting a moose horn through the eye. But hey....it was some really great video....
You are correct.
This is the best moose rut behavior footage, I've ever seen.
Thank you, they did put on a great show.
awesome footage...scenery , absolutely out of this world ; what a place to be able to go their and experience all that...10/10
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Pretty awesome video! Nice job and thanks for sharing!
Thank you, it was a bit crazy.
Beautiful animals your so lucky to see something like this truly amazing I’ve never seen a moose before in my travels hope you’re safe love 💕 you’re video awesome
Thank you.
So beautiful! So majestic! Thank you.
Thank you for watching.
Boy you sure had a front row seat , I learned a lot about moose I didn't know before, like how the female's cort the males so much, amazing footage.
Thank you so much, it was an incredible experience.
Great Photography thank you
You're my idea of a man! Gentle to a bull moose, even if it charges you. Wish there were more men like you.
Thank you, he is a real dandy bull. 🫎
This is special.. I am not only surprised he is letting you stay so close.. But the cows themselves.. Why are they not moving away the entire time ???
The rut certainly has an effect on them.
Amazing video of the bull moose and.the behavior of the females as well. Great footage and such clear taping. Liked the interesting show. Stay safe! What part of Alaska? We visited there 4 years ago.
thank you for watching, it was in the Anchorage area.
Thank you for sharing, that was awesome
Thank you for watching.
This is the most amazing video of moose in the rut that I've ever seen! I'm surprised a moose that size still had such a large dewlap. Usually the dewlap gets worn down over time, so big bulls don't often have big dewlaps.
Thank you. He is on the young side of a dominate bull, I’d like to estimate he has 3 more years as the lead bull in the area.
Awesome video man! Very informative behavior to watch.
Thank you for the kind words, and for watching.
A little too close there Jasper! They are all huge. Lol. Blessings.
Yes, I got a charge of adrenaline out of that one.
Never guessed that being hung like a moose would be an insult.
😂
Excellent video! where in Alaska? I can see what looks like power lines in the background.
Thank you. This video was taken near Anchorage. I don’t recall seeing power lines in the video, but there are power lines in the area.
Wow, really nice footage and so up close & personal. Keep these videos coming. Any discount codes for thecCammPark camera? Solar & lithium is the way to go.
I do not have discount codes, but I will reach out to them to find out.
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing these beautiful animals. I think he was telling you this is family friendly. :) be safe
Thank you very much. I think he and I are still friends.😁
Your video capability is outstanding 🙏 Is the moose population that crazy , thank you for sharing🙏🧙♂️
Thank you. Our moose population is down, we’ve had two really rough winters
National Geographic quality there. What a thrill!
Thank you, I think the Nat Geo people are probably a little smarter than me though.🤔
Great video! Dang that was close.
I’ll be trying to avoid repeating that event.
Hi Mr marshal it is me Soren hi I didn’t know you had a TH-cam channel and I will see you at Willow crest
Awesome footage.
Amazing footage, I've never seen this!
Thank you, he is a pretty amazing animal.
Amazing footage!
Thank you.
Fun watch, thanks for posting.
Thank you.
Amazing footage glad your ok
Thank you very kindly.
Raymond that was some Awesome footage!! But please be careful.
Thank you John. It’s been a minute, are you still in the Anchorage area? I’ve been so busy these last few months that I’ve lost track of everything.
@@RaisedinAlaska Yes Sir I am still on the southwest side of Anchorage and still working for Atlee Dodge and enjoying Alaska, just haven't got out much..Counting the days ( months) till I get my residency..lol
Wow so huge and dangerous but still majestic to see😊
Thank you for watching, they are amazing animals.
Great footage Ray…stay safe, the bear now the moose!!!
I know, but I don’t think that I’m cursed. 🤞🏽
Awesome! Great footage.
Thank you, it was a great day to be in the way back.
Bravo! Great footage. Looks like the place "Left Hook" would hang out in.
I haven’t seen Left Hook all season, but some friends of mine saw him a couple weeks ago.
HOLY CRAP JR!!!! Great footage, but speaking for those of us that would like to have you around for a while longer, BACK UP!!!! Either that or bring a saddle. 🤣
Yeah, that was a wild one.
Very interesting. I've never seen cow behavior like that. Good stuff!!
Thank you, they go bonkers over a fresh rut pit.
Cool video; enjoyed every bit of it! Amazing footage, guess you have a few nerves upended there eh? thanks!
Thank you, it was a little bit nerve-racking.
Wicked look at full on rutting/mating behaviour!Pretty cool..thanks!
Thank you for watching.
Great footage Brother, but damn be careful.
Thank you. As it turned out, it was more adventure than I was looking for, but it was a great day to be outside.
Awesome video thank you for sharing God bless
Thank you for watching, it was wild day.
That’ll get the heart rate going😜Such beautiful animals!
Yes, if that doesn’t get your heart rate up, nothing will.
It's a great awesome video.
I am glad you were carrying Udap bear spray
Thank you for the very kind words.
Incredible video! Wow
Thank you, it was an exhilarating day to be outside.
That old Bull was around his cow,that's why he charged him!😅
I suspect you are correct.
4:19 he did warned you licking lips head going side to side but you probably now all that already
I was so wrapped up in the moment that I did not apply the proper amount of caution or watch for the signs. He gave me signals, but I did not heed his warnings.
Wheres that located at.
I took this video in Alaska.
Were you able to get out of the way?
He didn’t come after me too far. Once I turn and started running, he gave up. I think it was just a dominance thing.
WOW WOW WOW
That was close great great video 🇩🇰
Certainly closer than i like. Thank you for watching.
Great … kinda ‘How Moose Are.’
Thank are tough.
Yikes 😮 Fantastic video but just be safe 🫎🫎🫎🫎❤️❤️
Thank you.
Amazing
Thank you Shane.
Great video. Just don't laugh into your sleeve!
Thank you. It was a fabulous outing with one minor set back.
The rut is on…. You were incredibly lucky to come out on the other end from as bull and the cow he is sniffing and peeing for!
I felt lucky after the encounter.
Can I ask what the moose was digging for? Time stamp 1:40
He was pawing away the sod so he will be down to fresh dirt and then they pee in the dirt and work to get that mixture of urine and dirt on their bodies, it’s like moose cologne.
@@RaisedinAlaska Ha, ha…moose cologne. Thanks for the description.
@@tky2289 There is a better example at 6:35 in the video just before all the cows go crazy and things get nuts.
Fantastic footage as always. I imagine it is always a risk to be as close as you have to be to get footage this good
I have better glass/lens since I filmed this video. That said, frequently there’s so much brush in the way that you have to close to get good footage.
@@RaisedinAlaska stay safe and keep up the good work
Thank you.
Really enjoyed this video. Thx
@@GVH1305 Thank you very much.
The cows want some action
They were crazy.🥰
You do not want to be on the receiving end of a rack that big. We have lots of moose here in NL Canada and I have seen what happens when they charge a car. Yikes!
Yes, that would be a very bad day.
Hope you guys in NL get govt money to trim forest near the highways. Too many good people dying from moose collisions.
6:28 He is a monster!
Yes he is, the kind of monster dreams are made of. 😁
That is a big boy !!
He is a dandy.
Now, will Bear spray work on a bull mouse???
I suspect that it probably would. Last fall I was charged in close quarters by a huge grizzly bear and thankfully it works for that.
@@RaisedinAlaska yes!!! But some same that the bear spray will attract Bears as well. Also there are videos of bear spray that did not work to stop a bear and the man got killed! Park Ranger in yellowstone a few years back. Plus other videos too! I also would keep a good 500 sidearm with me if I were you!! Back up!
Great shots!! Btw antlers not horns, antlers fall off :)
You are correct. I use the words as synonyms: however, the words do not mean the same thing. When I was editing the video, I noticed that I used the wrong word in the field, but by then it was too late to correct. Thank you for watching.
ran into 2 bull bison yesterday
Bison are on my bucket list, although there’s not very many around here.
your damn lucky great vid talk to ya on X
Thank you for watching.
He was Huge
He is a real stud. 💪🏽
Omg he's big as hell
He is a real dandy.
Please say you didn't kill him
@@adachilders7798 He will be in several upcoming videos that are in production. 🎉
Whoa I was born in Alaska at the only moose I've killed is with my Kawasaki 1000 it was a cow
That are big animals, glad you survived that one.
Thats a big bull is this on a refuge
He is a real dandy. I filmed this in an area that currently does not allow bulls to be hunted, but there is a cow season.
moose have antlers not horns.
You are correct. When I was editing this video afterwards, I heard that and hoped nobody would notice. I frequently use the terms interchangeably, but they are not.
I could never Kill that Beast
He is an amazing animal.
I hunted moose on the upper Yukon with the Upiq Eskimos more tundra the terrain was treacherous to walk in they mostly hunt from boats for a reason very difficult hunt you can hear them hardly see them
Yes, the tundra is horrible to walk on and certainly worst to pack out meat.
Your lucky
I’d call it dumb luck (I really had no business there, I was dumb).
You should have never gotten that close if you were hunting you no better.
You are correct.
It would be great to hear them bugle. Totally awesome what an amazing day
Moose make a unique sound, the cows frequently make a whine sound and the bulls will grunt. There are examples of both these sounds in the video and the bull grunts can be heard clearly around 8:28.
@@RaisedinAlaska
What an amazing opportunity to witness this in the wikd. I've never seen this so up vl8se abd personal before. What a unique introduction to your channel !!!! So hi there , from a Nan in Aussie, I follow a whole host of on and off grid Alaskan homesteaders/ cabin dwellers. Question about the moose, as I was born & raised one of 7 siblings of dairy farmers in New Zealand I'm used to herd animals. Does one bull service a whole herd of cows or just one, of a few ? And does the bull stay with the herd year round? Were you quite close to film all that or do you just have a high quality zoom in camera?? I'm really impressed with my first video watch of your channel.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 Great questions: Moose don’t herd up the most of the year. In the spring in through the summer to is common to find cows with their calves. The bulls, more often than not, are or alone. In late summer, the bulls may form small bachelor groups, but the cows are generally still alone or with their calves. Late summer and early fall the bulls will shed their velvet and begin to spar and establish a hierarchy of dominance. As the breeding season nears, the cows will gather up, in traditional breeding grounds, and bulls will hang out with the cows. The dominant bull will breed as many cows as he’s able or until another bull dethrone him. After the breeding season is done, it’s not uncommon for bulls to form back into bachelor. Cows are generally more on their own, unless there’s great feed in the area.
@@RaisedinAlaska Thankyou so much for such an in-depth, informative reply to my questions.
So greatly appreciative of the information and your time. I shall be watching more of your channel now I'm subscribed. May your channel grow even more and you and your loved ones be greatly blessed by the Creator of this enthralling country in which you reside & thrive in. Again, I thankyou. Until your next video, it's over & out from this Aussie Nan🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👌👍✌️👏🇺🇸
@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 thank you very much for your kind words.
I really want to shoot an Alaskan moose so me and my dad are doing it a bit after I graduate
Good luck, it will be a trip of a lifetime.
awesome video!!!!!
Thank you very much.
What a great video too bad it ended there do you think after all that sniffing and licking and rubbing and scraping and sniffing and licking it would’ve been some sex too bad the video ended
I don’t think he bred any cows that day, but shortly there after he did.
