I saw the same bull while kayaking Helldiver in August of 2014. Love the new re-done campsites out there. Can't forget telling a waitress the following morning near Indian Lake and she seemed not at all surprised, Harold is a local celebrity!
that is a beautifully shot video, not intrusive at all allowing the animal to be calm. that lil spot you got there looks so peaceful...sunrise there is gorgeous i bet
There are few things in this world we can accurately describe with one term. This is one of those things. And that term is "beautiful". Thank you for this upload. I haven't felt this at peace in a long while.
Finding this video was like finding a gem in a mountain stream. You have captured the spirit of that animal and all I can hope is that he can continue to live in that pristine environment.
Вот красота, вот силища, такое увидишь и душа радуется. Это природа, а мы часть её. Любая мать защитит свое потомство. А мы люди не можем постоять за свою свободу.
❤❤❤Wow, such a magnificent creature!!! What an AWESOME video. 😄This must have been such an honor & humbling experience for you to be able to just sit there in your kayak & watch him at such a close distance but yet not to upset or disturb him. He knew you were there yet he wasn't bothered by you at all. He was calmly settled & happily pottering about munching away!! You are so lucky to have been able to have experienced this & Thank you so very much for sharing your video. I was in awe whilst watching it. Again, just AWESOME!!! ❤❤❤ P. s. Is this the same moose Harry that was in your video in 2011? As I noticed both of the moose have white markings in the same area on their back legs/hocks or do most moose have these markings or similar there??
Wow! beautiful video!! could I use it to show it to kids at school? they are learning about the moose, and I'm trying to find a nice video for them. :)
Josh Bukoski Camping at helldiver is not a for the inexperienced! And chances of seeing a moose is remote at best! Kind of like winning the n.y.s lottery!
We've been camping in the Moose River Recreation Area since it first opened in 1963 and Helldiver was one of our favorite spots to camp having a fireplace, privy and picnic table as did all of the original 140 + sites and Helldiver Pond was but a short walk from the campsite itself. Sadly, as happened to others out of disrespect - the site needed continuous work by state employees to keep it repaired and usable and finally the site was abandoned and made into a large parking area for those that came to enjoy Helldiver Pond itself. This is not to say that there aren't other great campsites not far from Helldiver which makes it still possible to camp nearby and enjoy the entire area. We have been seeing this Bull Moose off and on for over 10 years - as it's antlers continue to grow. One year we had this bull come right into our camp a quarter of a mile down the road.We had seen him enough times to be able to identify him. Other years we saw him on the Plains, an area that was called the Indian Clearing by the old timers as the Indians use to burn it off to produce a Blueberry crop each year that it's still famous for though not as numerous as they one were. As with all wild animals there is no certainty in seeing them - but if you look for them early in the mornings and just before dark in the evenings- your chances are increased. If you enjoy remoteness in camping and realize you should have everything with you that you will need - as that the nearest facilities are nearly an hour away due to the distances and primitive roads - than you will certainly enjoy camping in the Moose River recreation area - it's a special place for sure.
Thanks for the long response. I just went camping there 2 weeks ago. The MRP gate was closed so I had to hike in. I saw many miles of moose tracks and some were almost a foot long. I saw no moose but it was a great trip. When there is no people, helldiver is my favorite pond.
When you think of the thousands and thousands of years ol' Harold and his ancestors have been in that spot doing what they do so beautifully, how could anyone shoot them?
The poor guy is struggling hard to survive. Ticks seen on both hind legs have dug in deep into the major arteries and they are sucking the life out of him in spite of his eating healthy and trying to put on some weight. His hind quarters show the signs of atrophy caused by this condition. The widespread discontinued use of insecticides is having a very negative impact on wild animals as the infestations of insects has taken an unprecedented rise in the last decade. Beauty at its best slowly dying due to man's neglect.
Beautiful video/stills, but no need for the music. I like to hear the sound of nature, not guitars. But you're not alone...seems everyone with a camera in the wild feels the need to add music.I just have no idea why...
I bet the moose would like some clean water if he knew the difference. It's God's view that we take care of His animals, but man's view that God's animals take care of themselves. Survival of the fittest and the dog eat dog world isn't God's best for us or what He wants for us. It's time we heed the call to be God's stewards of God's creation because God has given us dominion over all of it.
+gravityking, Do you think people who hunt Moose have any less appreciation for them? There is no need for the argumentative comment. North America's Moose population, while it has some issues, is fairly robust and healthy. Hunting-related taxes and fees are the primary reason we've been able to manage and study them so effectively.
Sportsmen are the reason we still have these animals in the lower 48. If it weren't for regulated hunting public land would be sold off and market hunters would have cleared these animals a hundred years ago.
Such serenity and beauty. Harold is very graceful for such a large creature. It amazes me how easily he carries those huge antlers. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely video.
Wow, I thought this would have been in Canada. To see that it was filmed in New York, wow. I was not expecting that! It's good to know that there is still some amazing, untouched wilderness, even in New York. Thank you for sharing this footage of what I consider to be one of North America's most majestic animals.
Yeah, as a resident of New York I can tell you that we aren’t just a big city. We actually happen to have the largest state park in the lower 48. It’s protected under the NY constitution and can’t be altered and must remain forever wild. That’s why there are many rare creatures remaining in the Adirondack mountains. Love to have all of that in my backyard. It really does look like Canada though. 😅
For this size rack in mid-July, yes, about 1600 pounds, perhaps a bit more....I'd found shed antlers in Maine, my home, easily double what's on this moose, his early growth. in July.... hard to understand they grow back every year. Sometimes I miss Maine
A few years ago my girlfriend and I were riding my motorcycle on woods roads in northern Maine, { the Jackman region } we counted about 50 different moose that we saw in our six hour trip that day. Magnificent animals.
Wow... We have also seen a moose near Barkerville (British Columbia, Canada). Elch-Kuh in der Nähe von Barkerville (Kanada) | Moose Cow near Barkerville (Canada) Greetings from Germany Juergen

So peaceful! I love the music, and the sound of the water and birds. That is beautiful!
Such a majestic beast...Excellent cinematography
WOW - he's a big fella! I have nothing but LOVE in my heart for these magnificent creatures in the wild. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Surreal and majestic! How fortunate you are. Thank you very much for sharing. ♥️👍♥️
Finding this video was like finding a gem in a mountain stream. You have captured the spirit of that animal and all I can hope is that he can continue to live in that pristine environment.
Beautiful creature, beautiful peacful setting...thank you for sharing!
Great video. Looking forward to attempting my first Adirondack moose sighting next summer. Truly a majestic animal.
Me too! Ive lived in Paul Smiths for 3 years now and am outside almost everyday out on the trails and have never seen one in the northern adks!
So serene..what a beautiful video. Thank you..
1 of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Thank you :-) I'm going to Norway on a Moose-seeing tour soon :-) Much love and respect to all :-)
gentle giant except when rutting or afraid for it’s own, tremendous animal! tremendous video! thanks for sharing...
I would never have the chance to see such remarkable beauty if not for you sharing this video. Beautiful. I truly thank you and God bless ☺✌
Nice video, we have a lot of moose where I live in Montana and it never gets old seeing them . Thanks for sharing
Too beautiful for words...
Moose are so graceful and slow. They have an interesting personality.

Breathtaking beauty and tranquility
Incredibly beautiful... ALL the music, and I don't just mean Dan Gibson.
Harry is looking really good!

It was indeed the same moose at the same pond. It was truly a humbling experience and to have it twice was beyond belief.
Thank you for your comments.
Thank you....
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
Great video !
wow he was a big lad! off to Norway this summer, really hope to see one, any ideas how much he would weigh? beautiful vid by the way
Harold is a big boy!
Wow! beautiful video!! could I use it to show it to kids at school? they are learning about the moose, and I'm trying to find a nice video for them. :)
Old Harold, now in moose Valhalla, rest well, old boy.
I've been up here on and off my entire life, and I've never seen a moose. What time does he normally show up to eat?
beautiful!! Thanks
Majestic, noble animal.
Beautiful.
Great shots! What is he eating?
What is the camping like at helldiver pond and what are my chances of seeing the moose?

Wow from the size i would guess 1200 to 1400 lbs that was a big moose !
Beautiful!
When you think of the thousands and thousands of years ol' Harold and his ancestors have been in that spot doing what they do so beautifully, how could anyone shoot them?
I love Moose!
It's so majestic, I would tell everyone about my special encounter..golden opportunity!
I enjoyed watching the video but I would have preferred the raw sounds of nature.
Just a big WOW.
nice video :p
My stomach has love for the moose
Beautiful
where was squirrel???
Красота!
That's a pretty massive animal
That is awesome. A cow Moose crash into the windshield and roof of my car, sure glad it wasn't a bull moose. So beautiful.
Must be the hunters giving thumbs down to a very beautiful,serene moment in time.
yes. because hunters hate moose unless they're being shot. sound logic you have there.
The moose miss my little family
that's a giant moose
Fantastic
I know that moose. He graduated from Wassamatta U

Wow, where's a .338 Win mag when you need one!
I like meese....mooses....moose-plural?....whatever, they didn't teach us that one in school!
Plural of Moose is also Moose. :)
Happy you enjoyed it.
Beautiful video/stills, but no need for the music. I like to hear the sound of nature, not guitars. But you're not alone...seems everyone with a camera in the wild feels the need to add music.I just have no idea why...
O
shoot it and eat it ...i have 6 hungry kids ...alalalaahhh
why does everyone have to take a perfect video and ruin it with music?
I bet the moose would like some clean water if he knew the difference. It's God's view that we take care of His animals, but man's view that God's animals take care of themselves. Survival of the fittest and the dog eat dog world isn't God's best for us or what He wants for us.

This was so calming & beautiful. I felt like I was in the boat too ♥️
Beautiful.
He has the sweetest eyes I've ever seen. He truly is a beautiful animal.
Desiree Beck until they stomp on your head as they sometimes do... moose attack more people than all other animals combined
Absolutely breathtaking !!! I would so love to experience that ! Thank you for the video!
What a magnificent creature...thanks for posting that. Wonderful
Serene, peaceful, an award winner to this viewer. Thank you for this... .
whalesong999 Thank you, just an amateur enjoying nature.
Thanks for shooting it with a video camera instead of a gun.
+gravityking Best comment EVER!!!

Are you a vegetarian
Most beautiful moose....

@@bruhmagic1323 Well, Canada and NY state do share a frontier. It's pretty much the same in some parts. Except, the roads in Canada suck.
@@hugolafhugolaf yeah, northern Adirondacks are boreal forest which is the primary environmental biome in southern Canada.
@@bruhmagic1323 yup
Great vid. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing have camped in Moose River great place
What an experience! Thanks for sharing it.
One huge and beautiful moose buck) Really cool photage,relaxes me a lot. Thanks)))
wow that thing is huge....awesomeness in gods country...
Nothing as great as nature!! The beauty touches the soul!!! Very nicely done!!
The Creator is Greater than His Creation
I'd love to see one sometime but I'm actually glad they don't show up too often. There's always some clown around somewhere waiting to shoot one.
There is still a little heaven in this world. Praise our Great Redeemer for these majestic creatures. Halleli-Yah.
Amen.
I was close to heaven watching this!
Sharon Peters It's a wonderful thing seeing these beautiful creatures in person. You just have to keep some distance.
AMEN brother!
this is the only heaven were ever ganna get (":

He has name? Harold? That's pretty funny. As an animal lover and a photographer, I'd love to see Harold
Bel video. Grazie
awestruck awesome
Luv'd watching this..well done. The still pics are magnificent. Thanks for sharing.
Wow... We have also seen a moose near Barkerville (British Columbia, Canada). Elch-Kuh in der Nähe von Barkerville (Kanada) | Moose Cow near Barkerville (Canada)

Believe it or not this is near where I live in NY. People forget we have moose in our state. It’s very cool to see so up close!
