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!!
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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, 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.
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with how you think about audio. On most of my videos I try to not cover up nature with music unless it’s something where the audio is messed up or there was an audio recorded. That said, on my Alaska Trail Camera channel most of my shorts have music.
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 bring up an excellent point about safety. This bull certainly gave me warning signs that he was irritated with my presence, I was just so wrapped up in the moment that I missed the signs.
@@jasondelgatty3583 everything is a matter of risk vs reward and which is most important in the moment. It is not as foolish as many of the things I see every week where the reward is even less and the risk greater than in this video.
That bull has some amazing paddles indeed and quite the neck to carry them. Wow what a great looking bull. Stay safe out there, too. I dont have to tell you about the bears that can ruin your day too. 😅 Great video showcasing moose behavior, thanks.
@@metalmamasue3680 Thank you very much. Looking back at the film he gave me a lot of warning signs, but I was so wrapped up in filming I did not heed his warnings.
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.
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. 🤣
I do not have any experience with Moose and Maine, but I would venture to guess the relatively the same. This guy gave me lots of warning signs, but I was so wrapped up and what I was doing I didn’t heed his warnings.
They are pretty amazing animals. I’ve been filming the same bull the last few days. He is probably close to the same width, but has more mass this year. He’s been fighting a lot and has some broken tines. Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comments.
Thank you very kindly. I had this one coming. He gave warning signs, but I was so wrapped up in filming. I miss them. Fortunately, he was just establishing dominance and very forgiving of my encroachment on his territory.
It's truly hard to appreciate just how large they really are. Moose are enormous and a bit intimidating just for sheer size alone. Then they have such hardware the bulls. Great footage. ❤
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.
@tky2289 Bull moose will stomp and paw a hole in the ground then urinate in it then rub their antlers in it and even roll in it. Cows will also roll in the pits and get the sceny on them
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.
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.
@@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!
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!
@@RaisedinAlaska know very little about moose behavior. Will this male mate with both these females? Or will the dominant female drive the other female away?
@ Great question. Generally the cows do not all come into estrus (heat) at the same time, so if were to remain the dominant bull in the area he would breed each cow when she comes into estrus.
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.
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.

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. 🫎
Terrific footage!! And nerves😳
Great video Ray, thank you for sharing.
Thank you, it was a fabulous day to be outside.
So beautiful! So majestic! Thank you.

Thank you, moose are certainly interesting critters.
Wow that’s some great footage. Thanks for sharing
Thank you.
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.
Pretty awesome video! Nice job and thanks for sharing!
Thank you, it was a bit crazy.
The speed in which a creature that size can gather is absolutely Amazing!! Great video and captures as always!!
Thank you so kindly Aaron.
Incredible footage and resolution Ray!!!!
Thank you very much, it was a fantastic day to be outside and not get stopped.
Great Photography thank you
This is the best footage by far of elk I have ever seen.. thks
😁
Such beautiful scenery... looks like a painting with such magestic animals...
Amazing footage. Well edited
Thanks for moose behavior education.
Thank you very much.
National Geographic quality there. What a thrill!
Thank you, I think the Nat Geo people are probably a little smarter than me though.🤔
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.
This is the best moose rut behavior footage, I've ever seen.
Thank you, they did put on a great show.
Thank you for sharing, that was awesome
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.
What you learn from Mooses. Always carry your umbrella.with pride..And don't.forget it during the week.
Great advice. 🫎 ☂️
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.
OMG RAY!!!! HAHAHAHA that was a blast! Now I have to drink some coffee to CALM my pulse!!
Thanks, hope to see you today.😁
Awesome video man! Very informative behavior to watch.
Thank you for the kind words, and for watching.
Awesome footage.
Thank you for risking your well being for this killer footage!
It was poor judgment on my part. He gave me signs, but I was so wrapped up in the moment that I missed them.
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.
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.
The horns are unbelievable.
He is a real dandy.
Amazing footage!
Thank you.
Great video! Dang that was close.
I’ll be trying to avoid repeating that event.
Fun watch, thanks for posting.

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.
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.
Raymond that was some Awesome footage!! But please be careful.

Are Alaskan moose more aggressive than ones from Maine?

Great … kinda ‘How Moose Are.’
Thank are tough.
That old Bull was around his cow,that's why he charged him!😅
I suspect you are correct.
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.
beautiful animals
I would agree with you, absolutely amazing animals.
It's truly hard to appreciate just how large they really are. Moose are enormous and a bit intimidating just for sheer size alone. Then they have such hardware the bulls. Great footage. ❤
@ Every time I get in close proximity, I am surprised by the enormous size. They are amazing animals.
That was close great great video 🇩🇰
Certainly closer than i like. Thank you for watching.
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.

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.
That is a big boy !!

I took this video in Alaska.
ran into 2 bull bison yesterday
Bison are on my bucket list, although there’s not very many around here.
Hunters leave them alone.
Amazing

6:28 He is a monster!
Yes he is, the kind of monster dreams are made of. 😁
