Amazing, Giant Bull Moose Fighting
We have been fortunate enough to film a few moose fights, but this one is the longest yet. There are three angles working here; the two of us (Team MooseMan,) Rick and I, aa well as a beautiful sequence courtesy of Michael Mauro of Wild and Exposed podcasts. (Also Truth and Legend Productions).He and Rick were filming from one location, I was farther away (filming another bull as he crossed the creek. That video later.)
Standing on the other side of a babbling creek, (the prevalent audio) we caught this amazing fight from three different angles, sewn together here as one cohesive video. As you can see these bulls covered a lot of territory in their five minute struggle. They really get pushing each other around and you can see them gouge at each other; the fur really flies here
Other bulls nearby are somewhat curious about the action, but lose interest quickly. Same with the cows. And that's who this is all about/for!
We hope you enjoy and please subscribe for more moose (and other wildlife) videos.
Thanks for watching our channel, the husband/wife team of Rick and Libby Libbey, (Libby squared), New Hampshire wildlife photographers (and part time Alaska.)

Such amazing creatures... Thank you for doing all this work, and for collaborating with others to give us this great video!
Thank you for appreciating what it takes!
I'm sure I have very little understanding of what it really takes to get out there in all weather, avoid being seen as an enemy, and getting all this amazing footage, then editing it all down and all the rest... But I can guess. :)
@@randomvielleuse527 You seem to have a grasp; the weather, the terrain, the physical work to hike in and find these animals, read their temperament, work around them and get the shots, is a lot of work. But since we're passionate about wildlife, we see it almost as play! Thanks again!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Everything is easier when you're doing what you love.
@@randomvielleuse527 (:>) Absolutely!!
Was working on a Northern Alberta pipeline in the early 90's. My day started earlier than most, as I drove our technician to the job site, he was from Alabama. Never in my life have I ever seen someone so excited, we were 200 feet away and watched it eat for 10 minutes. I'll never forget what he said, "they's so ugly, they's beautiful" !
What’s cool as hell is all the other Moose watching including another bull standing closer to one of the 🎥 !
Yeah, he's no idiot! Steers clear and gets the girls anyway!
It is amazing to see these huge animals swivel around so fast when needed.
They are very agile, aren't they? They have some moves!
Such amazing Creatures I’m so blessed to live in Alaska
You are indeed, and we feel the same way for being able to visit this beautiful place every year. Alaska is rich with wildlife. Can’t get enough of it!
THanks again . Magnificent.
Thank you!!
The best vedeo ever seen
Very kind of you! Thank you!
Wow!
Cool!
What majestic animals they are. I would like to see some close-ups of the interlocking antlers and the faces of the moose while they are engaged in their combat.
We have a couple of stills like you describe. And it's the eyes that are impressive. Here's an example: the-mooseman.photodeck.com/-/galleries/alaskan-moose/-/medias/607fd6c8-d243-4e77-8b40-cc7a07035f79-grumpy-swagger-sparring-2019
Now here's another stunning videos, Wow!!...I can't imagine watching this live, extraordinary!!!.. Bravo Team MooseMan!! 😜
As always, thank you!!!!
@@MooseManNaturePhotos
As always, Yw!! 🙃
What a fight!
Spectacular! ..we really enjoyed this. Thank You for Sharing and Congrats.
Thanks so much as usual. Getting a fight is a rare thing and this one was really long and tough. Thanks again!
These are amazing fights. Pretty intimidating 😮❤
thanks Tricia, although bulls fight often, being there to film one is rare.
Amazing videography!
Would the name 'Left Hook' mean something to you? Just wondering.
What many may not realize, is how difficult 'getting around' in that kind of terrain is for humans. That makes this footage all the more impressive. That takes some dedication.
Yes, the name does mean something to us. (:>) Rick named him. You are so right, and obviously familiar with trekking through the woody willows and spongy tundra with pockets of deeper recesses that are boggy/wet. Not easy keeping up with the moose. Thanks for your comments. Have we met out and about?
Majestic animals...I'd be thrilled just to watch it
We hope to offer you the next best thing. We are absolutely thrilled to watch it in person. It's amazing to be around such huge, impressive animals.
Great video!
Big like!
Thank you!
You're awesome! Truly, invest in a zoom and you're in business, not that you're not, not - but you have so many moose in one shot and a fight - get yourself a good zoom lens. You'll probably like it better than us.
Great vids, man 👍🏻
👏👏👏
Thanks. We have up to 600mm, with TC's capable of another 1.4 reach. We like to use the lesser lenses for the broader shots. I used the bigger lens on a pod, Rick goes for the wide angle shots. Appreciate the comments.
MooseMen fighting for a MooseWoman.
It's one of the only times when the girl can say..."did you see the rack on him"?
HA indeed! Deer, Elk, Moose. That's about it!
Awesome! I wonder if the fight ends in one being killed...it doesn't appear so...
We have never seen a fight where a bull was injured beyond a lameness that healed. Or an eye injury. Of course it happens, it did this year with Grumpy and another bull (lots of videos here about that) but that was a freak thing. They don't aim to kill each other, it's a matter of one crying Uncle and spinning away. We have never seen a loser being chased off, either. There seems to be a code of ethics. In many ways they are better behaved than humans. Especially given this happens just once a year for them! Ours is a bloodthirsty society. Theirs is not.
@@MooseManNaturePhotos Great as well as a factual response. They seem to be gentle even in the duel-- perhaps sensing that they could destroy each other with a well-placed poke! Thank you.
@@fekade1 Thanks for that. And yes, I agree; they all want to live to see dinner!
Quick question are they fighting over a mate or what's the deal here?
I also was wondering why they fight so hard with each other and they Go as long as they possibly can.
What is the punishment for losing the fight?
Are they kicked out of the herd or do they have to lose territory or Is it just for a mate?
Great questions, VDC. They are fighting over mating rights. They are not herd animals and so the bulls must seek out cows. When two of them find each other in the company of a cow, they tend to fight for dominance. We have several fight videos here. They fight until one simply calls it quits. It's not a fight to the death by any means. So the fights are as long as they are stubborn, basically. When they do spin out of the fight, they are not chased. They have lost, and that's just understood. BUT, since it's ultimately up to the cows who they mate with, even a loser can get lucky. (If you'll pardon the pun.) Thanks for watching, and for the questions!
The boys fighting to the death while the girls eat or walk away in boredom.
Hej det var häftigt verkligen VH.ROLAND
Thank you! Appreciate that.
The smaller one was doing all the pushing in the beginning but tuckered out in the end. Nice try but no cigar.
He's striking with age; he is the older bull, with a wider rack. He loses a lot of weight during the rut usually and this year went in looking thin. We hope he's around next year.
Where abouts are all your videos recorded ?
l’amour c’est l’amour
Do they ever break off a antler. Pounds per square inch must b crazy
I shot a deer that had an antler broken off near the base. He also had what looked like wounds from recent fighting. Not sure if that also happens with moose ?
All the time. They break tines, paddles, and entire antlers off at times. I'm working on that video now.
Maybe someone should get between these two boys before someone gets hurt.
They both were back chasing girls an hour later!
Interesting to see what is going on in the wild life.
It's fun to share what people don't normally get to witness. Thanks for watching/commenting.
I can hear water running someone go jiggle the handle...
Damn brook! It won't stop running for our video!
i would like to see a slo-motion eye-poking avoidance , and how heated of a fight will cause the "rules" to change----if they battled to permanently maim their own species , they would not fare well?
Bulls rarely fight to the death; the point is to back down and live to see another day, more cows are out there somewhere, right? There are those who didn't read the manual, and then of course accidents (slips/falls/lockups) happen and can run from minor injury to death. Boys will be boys after all.. And the strong survive, or so the saying goes. Thanks for watching. .
@@MooseManNaturePhotos i am most interested in their etiquette of not poking eyes out, and the slo-motion precision
Why this animal affecting cruel wound on this head whereas others don't experience such pethatic situation? Sometimes they dies also. Very pity.
Nature is harsh. Nobody was injured during this fight. All good this time.
The running water is very annoying takes away from the video
Sorry. Turn the volume down. We were both standing right at a creek. Can't be helped.
Can’t watch it any more
They are both fine, nobody was injured believe it or not. Amazing after that.
Ya know... if humans had to fight like this for the opportunity to breed... Trump would never have been born.
You make a very good point.
