Watch these 2 bull moose brawl in the Chugach - Alaska Dispatch News
Awsome now that was cool.
Bit too close for my shoes! Awesome footage though
And they are bloody big animals as well. Bigger than a horse. The adrenalin would have been coursing though his veins filming that.
Excellent.....I'm off to Fiordland fuk it......:thumbsup:
Take a bottle of scotch with you Scouser. It is cold down there at the moment.Quote:

Very good footage but a bit close when they are in that mood. Both not bad sized Bulls. When I went on my moose hunt my outfitter had two bulls antlers locked together on his porch. On eof the bulls had drove a tyne through the palm of the other. The Bulls had died locked together.
Not bad sized??? How about f ing enormous.Quote:

Not saying either of the bulls on the video aren't worth shooting but they do grow bigger. If I ever have the chance to hunt Alaska Moose again I would look for the improvements on what I already have if I don't get back I am more than happy with what I have already.Quote:

They are big animals alright good vid he appeared to be to close to that action though;)
I would be thinking around the 60 inch mark maybe a little bigger The body size makes the antlers look smaller than they are. Both those bulls have nice long points coming off the palms which looks great, old bulls quite often have broomed points.
Shearer did a bit of a look around at some old copied pictures of some big Alaskan Moose, these a just photos of photocopies I have kept as they are of Bloody Monster Bulls ( these are not my Pictures) The one of the guy holding the antlers bythe plane is 80 inch and as you can see the palms have a warped/ ripple effect on them. The other is 75 ich and like a tree on it's head truly impressive animals those moos are.Attachment 56796Attachment 56797
These here are the first photos I saw on this forum and its what lured me in. Goggling Mooses

Actually have I seen those axes on the wall before?
That's and impressive bull, Nice points, wide palms good brow points and looks to be wider than the pick up truck. Those American trucks are pretty wide so he is a goodie.
