RECORD BULL MOOSE Encounters GRIZZLY, enormous alaska trophy moose brown bears

www.alaskabearsandwolves.com/a... Several coastal grizzlies eye a giant bull moose in full rut while looking for salmon. Katmai Coast, Alaska. Seen on bear viewing expedition: details visit

images and film by Naturalist Guide Brad Josephs
Brown bears, or coastal grizzlies, converge on streams during summer to feed on spawning salmon in Coastal Alaska. September is moose mating season, and bull moose grow huge antlers, and have elevated testosterone levels. Bull moose in rut are fearless as they search out female mates. Sometimes the shortest distance to a female moose is close to the bears, but bears rarely try to kill giant moose. A bear attacking a moose is risky, and they have plenty of salmon to eat. This moose is an exceptionally large bull, with flattened antlers, a huge spread, and massive bulk. This moose would be a trophy bull, but Hunting is outlawed in Katmai National Park, about 30 miles across the water from Kodiak, Alaska.
all bears in this video are alaska coastal brown bears, which is the smae species as a grizzly, but grow large on salmon and rich vegetation.

What's more amazing is even adult GRIZZLIES want to keep their distance from that big boy. I spent my formative years on a 90-acre farm in southern Maine, and I can tell you, when asking locals and/or hunters what animal they hope they never encounter (especially during rutting season) in relative close proximity is a male moose. Period. Occasionally some will say a bear, but unlike many bears who are typically skittish of humans, many moose aren't much scared of anything, which makes encountering a large male F-CKING SCARY. Some years ago my sister's mother-in-law and her husband were in one of those large (as in largest-ever model year) Dodge Durango SUVs, and were broadsided by an adult moose up in the White Mountains of NH. Thankfully both occupants escaped with minor injuries, but sadly the moose (and the SUV) didn't make it. SUV was totaled.

I remember the first full grown bull moose I ever saw. It was 1972 and we were coming off Mount McKinley (the name was changed to Denali in 2015) when we came upon the moose knee deep in a pond. We were a good distance away and the moose looked up at us and stared for a long minute. Natural instinct was to freeze. Might have even held my breath. The moose finally turned it's attention back to eating. We had heard stories how they can step over a six foot fence and that they have even derailed trains. I didn't really understand there immense size until actually seeing one. These animals are huge.

[@richardjacobson1735]

Adult bull Moose about 1,200 pounds, I saw one in Northern Minnesota in 1972 about that size.

Had moose go through my backyard in western Canada near Edmonton . They walked up to the back six foot fence and just popped over like a slinky ! They would come to the house every year and some times with caves as there was a couple of apple trees in my front yard.

[@SM-McKraken]

The bears were like "Just act natural, and try not to look it in the eyes, and it hopefully will leave us alone." 😲 You know that bull's well massive, in the way it was almost daring the bears to have a go, and then walked off with it's back to them, with not one glance to check it's six lol. Total stud.

[@MensaGiraffe]

There are a few factors at play here. Yes, the moose is large and most bears would avoid a confrontation if the threat of being hurt is high. Also, this was salmon running season, so all of the bears were full and didn't have a need to hunt. Lastly, this particular bear had cubs, so it would be dangerous for the cubs if their mother picked a fight with a Bull Moose.

Beautiful. Lucky you to have seen this. What a spectacular area.

[@XMIR10C]

I've seen a lot of Moose, that one is a tank, must be close to 2000 pounds and huge. Look at the fn rack on it. Looks more like a Stegasaurus than a Moose at certain angles.

[@tpatton6773]

Knowing boundaries, this is extremely WONDERFUL 🤗

[@reksceasar6764]

The bears are probably thinking "Don't look that way. That's a big moose. You don't want it to come this way."

[@edgy14yearold66]

I don't know why y'all complaint about the title it represents exactly what happened. An apex predator and a big ass moose had an encounter. Nothing happened, but this is still an encounter because you know damn well both of those animals were sizing each other up.

[@ericprieto4348]

facts !!

[@appa609]

Title is fine. They encountered each other. It didn't say there was a fight.

[@singingwindrider9881]

Thankyou for sharing 💕 (& not talking in it). 😊 Great vid, man the neck on that moose! 😳 They look like a cross between a buffalo & a deer. Nice little touch when that bear waved its claw 😆. Yikes 😬.

[@Joseph-le5zk]

Grizzly would have to be crazed by hunger to even consider going up against that Monster.

[@kinachahue]

That is some serious respect given by those bears. Perhaps they are not hungry and taking down a moose that big can't be all that easy or painless.

Bear: My look at that size, better not mass with it!

[@leomarkaable1]

I was cycling on the Gunflint Trail in Minnesota and a bull moose hopped out of the brush alongside a lake. Luckily I was 150 feet or so down the road. The moose was black as night and didn't notice me, I guess. I rode pretty hard afterwards.

[@robertrosicki9290]

Just stumbled over this video . I'm up in northeastern Ontario Canada and I've seen some big bulls but nothing like that . That's a lotta moose .

[@da-king3314]

Amazing footage - 2 powerful animals captured in 1 frame. At 2:44 it’s almost both are telling each other “Not today” knowing very well it could go either way - Just a matter of time

[@musa8693]

The cameraman sure has balls of steel man

[@bradjosephs]

Thank u! U should see my other videos!

[@theonlypinky]

Oh.....and did they look like claw mark scars on the side (upper back) of the moose? (around the 2:33 time frames)

[@hermit6208]

They do indeed. However I would guess they are more likely from the antlers of another moose that he was sparring with. It looks like Autumn time, near mating season. And if it was a run-in with a bear , he doesn't look like he was traumatized by it. He is fearless.

[@jimbodjango8900]

A moose that size doesnt have much to worry about

[@philhardwick100]

Didn’t know moose even got that big. Amazing animal. Great vid

[@mikedickison5003]

And not just big. There was bulk on top of bulk under that moose's hide. The bear fairly ripples when she walks. She's hunted big before, but her cubs aren't quite ready for the big time.

[@shaunaeddy4560]

wow that was intense

[@oddgeir2330]

Even large grizzlies would think twice about attacking a giant bull moose.

[@bradjosephs]

Yes, occasionally if given opportunity they can, but especially not when the rivers are full of salmon!

[@Pappa052]

Bears are like moose what moose i don't see a moose 🤣🤣🤣 moose is like WHATS YOUR NAME???

[@jamesmiller4077]

The Bear had two cubs , even if she won the contest she would have been injured and would not been able care for the cubs or hunt for herself . Animals are smart. Both the Bear and the Moose realized this . Besides this Moose was very large and capable.

[@johnskipper432]

This bear has enough since to leave the moose alone. He didn’t want to risk a confrontation because he had other readily available food sources. Smart bear!!

It always amazes me when trophy hunters (NOT THIS PERSON) claims that they only do what nature already does. NOOO, nature does not kill the Bulls or the top Male animals. Nature stays clear, man doesn't!

Ya but they all die eventually so yes, they do “as nature does”

Agreed. Humans just intercept.

I do not think a grizzly can take this moose down unless he was injured or sick, that bull moose means business.

[@tmacmi9095]

That Grizzly saw the battle scars on the side of that big ol’ bull moose and thought “ R-E-S-P-E-C-T” .
