GIANT ALASKAN YUKON MOOSE -Grand Slam Club Ovis North American Big Game 

Please help me understand, I dont understand how you can appreciate the beauty of an animal and then kill it? what is the thought process behind having respect for the animal and its life... then shooting it, just dont get it. you say it yourself its not about the kill, then why kill it?

It seems a bit extravagant to take a piano into the woods with you when you go hunting.

The way the moose fell down made me sad.

6:39 -click if you have no patience.

That region must be a photographer's paradise

"Ah nice, a video of nature photographers finding a moos-- *BANG!*"

it will never cease to amaze me how incredibly huge some of the animals in Alaska are

Hi, I'm a Wildlife Biology major, so I'm just going to put my opinion right here: People speak about how the world did just fine without hunters. But it didn't. Many species have run THEMSELVES into extinction because they breed in large numbers, lose their natural predators, or a sufficient disease isn't there to properly control their numbers. Pople think about how the native Americans killed all the mammoths, but mammoths were notorious for eating all the available food in a proximity and moving on, then another separate herd would follow them to find no food and starve, because the overall population of the mammoth was too large for the ecosystem to handle, therefore it began causing problems for other species too, both herbivore and carnivore alike. The United States is going through this right now: The white tail deer, one of the most populous large mammals on the planet, the US has an over abundance of them. They're eating themselves into death essentially because there are way too many of them for the ecosystem to handle (and this isn't a particular state, this is the nation as a whole!!), hence why some hunting seasons will give 40 to 45 bag limits because they are unable to control the population sufficiently, what's worse, is human expansion into forests has almost eradicated their natural predators (wolves, things of that nature) so the deer are continuing to breed with no predator to control their numbers, and while CWD is definitely happening, it's not controlling deer population fast enough or in a broad enough range, therefore, it's just wiping out small communities and reducing the gene pool.

Hunters to normal people: "hunting is natural, we put the materials to good use, this is how humans live" Hunters to other hunters: "it's not about the materials or harvesting the animal, it's about the experience". 7:20 for reference

The Native Americans lived for centuries hunting wildlife and respecting wildlife, helping and protecting their environment. Our world has become synthetic entirely, with man-made products replacing food, and artificial elements replacing natural ones. I encourage free range animal harvesting as well as hunting. Hunting to excess is the problem we need to be concerned about. Hunting on it's own is just what it is. Something quite primeval and natural.

Damn that's a huge moose :o

4:43 sounds like the meme cry

I don't know why, but it's always so astonishing to me the amount of hate hunters get, especially here on youtube. They have no idea how life really works, or how much good hunters do for our wildlands. It was a great video, and a great shot. Keep on keepin on, my friends

That moose looks like a giant in the trees!

Havent commented on a youtube video ever if my mind serves me right, but I had to here. I stumbled upon you're channel/videos today and I gotta tell you they are so well made. Transitions, music, and quality. Good job you have a new subscriber for sure

Look, look, I'm a huge animal lover in all aspects, but I also come from a family of hunters. If you watch, they took meat from the moose before tagging & leaving. They're actually eating the animal. It's not killsport or trophy hunting. How the hell do you think humankind has survived for thousands of years? They sure as hell didn't have Whole Foods back in the Bronze Age.

Awesome! Really huge moose.

>go on a hunting channel >be shocked that they hunt

I am a pilot. How the hell do experienced pilots in an area like that have mid-air collision? That is almost unheard of.

These are the ways a moose will finish its days scenario 1 : The moose spends all its energy mating and then slowly freezes and starves through the winter and just as its about to die a pack of wolves comes along and disembowels it leading to a horrible painful drawn out death. scenario 2 : The Moose gets covered in 100+ pounds of ticks that slowly drink its blood and make it weak, it can not put on enough weight for the winter and slowly freezes and starves to death before getting disemboweled by a pack of wolves scenario 3 : Moose gets chased for twenty plus miles by a Grizzly bear until it falls over from exhaustion, Grizzly rips its esophagus out while it is lying there trying to catch its breath. scenario 4 : Moose manages to avoid all previous scenarios and lives to a ripe old age until one year its teeth are so worn and painful that it is unable to eat and put on weight for the winter, ( has bowels ripped out by pack of wolves) scenario 5 : munching happily away on some willow branches in its prime , having a great day, all of a sudden it hears a loud bang, has some chest pain and shortness of breath and 30 seconds later blacks out. Which scenario would you choose? ( you only get one)

Fue una cacería excelente😎👏

I love that quote at the beginning

4:43 when you stub your toe

why are there only vegans in this comment section lol like u clicked on a video called "giant alaskan yukon moose" did u expect him to travel with a rifle and then look at the moose?

Well, I prefere to be killed by being shot while walking around, than being chased and eaten by wolves or bears... not to mention this activity helps to found the national parks and protect animals from pouching... BTW what a fantastic place!!!! Im not really into hunting, but man, i would love to wander those lands

The main character? Neither man nor the animal, but Death. The man and the animal: little pawns in her hands.

I need a hunter like you for the Redjacks!

A lot of people in this comment section dosen't know why hunting benefits the herd and it shows

That was AWESOME!!!

Amazing vid guys,a real beast right there

EXCELLENT markmanship!

I'm so sorry for your loss.. Rest in paradise~ also.. what was the background music played during the video, very beautiful..

Great video!!! I just subbed!! Sorry for your loss, respectively! 👊⛰️🏹🦌

I love how you get all the people that have obviously never hunted before and dont understand a single thing about then they come to videos like these and talk crap. Most of them probably dont even stop to think what most food they eat even is. This video is a perfect demostration of hunting and the thrill of it you survive by hunting. Without hunting we wouldnt have most of the stuff we have today so people should stop complaining and start reliezeing that there is much more to hunting than just killing the animal.

Look at this beautiful creature, such majesty, listen to the emotional and heartfelt music as you watch it go about it's life. Aaaaaaand it's gone...

Damn either those trees are small or that moose is huge

What’s the point in this?

GJ DUDE! I would like to get his trophy!

AWESOME !

Now come and spend some time with them without guns. Just awe. They're everywhere here.

name of the background music?

It is my opinion that There is a difference between hunting for sport and hunting for sustenance. Vid I watched prior to this one was of a moose hunt as well but by a man and wife living off the land and that I find admirable. Those seeking thrills and profit , not so much.

that quote at the first video is fascinating

All the anti-hunting people commenting here are ignorant and hypocritical. Most of them probably wear and use products made from animals and eat meat. And this moose lived a way better life than cattle or pigs that are stuffed in feed lots in order to produce your fast food. And hunters are the best conservationists, because all the money they pay for licenses and permits goes towards wildlife biologists conducting studies and the preservation of wildlife and wild lands through Fish and Game departments and other agencies. A bunch of uneducated, uninformed, blind city people who don't even appreciate or comprehend how they even get their food.

why do you kill them??thats sooo heartbreaking let them live man

I’m hurting with you. My emotions come out to you. Two great men lost there lives in something beyond their control. I know the pain will always be there, but may the hunt help ease that pain. God speed yall.

This was around Russian Mission, Alaska. My hometown.. Renfos have been banned from the community after the mid air collision. My brother died in that collision. They caught this 80" moose few days after that collision. These guys don't even take care of their meat right. I've been so mad at the renfos for so long because if it wasn't for them, my brother would still be here today. But I've learned to accept it, & pray for the other guys that were in the renfo plane when they collided ❤ r.i.p. I miss you big bro

Zach was a great guy I loved his artwork.

That bad boy was massive! Great video and awesome job fellas! My prayers go out for the families of the men who passed.

Beautiful photography. What kind of camera are you using if you don't mind me asking...?

How did he go down so fast? Why did he just fall over? Can someone please explain this shot to me?

To all those people saying they left meat behind, there was no mention in the video about leaving meat behind. I rewatched the video several times and this conversation in the video never happened. Its illegal to waste the animal you harvest and to have it on video "if they wasted meat" would be a quick way to get find and charged. Read a little bit more about the North American Model of Conservation and educate yourselves before you make defamatory remarks on a subject you clearly know very little on. In the back country the rule is the last pack out are the antlers, culturally speaking for hunters you get all the meat to the pick up point first then at the very end you get the antlers. Bush planes will make multiple trips hauling meat out and then at the very end fly out the hunters. But its easy to sit behind a keyboard making comments on something you have never done before. Hunters and legal gun enthusiasts have done far more then any other group for conservation. They through the Pittman-Robertson act they have single handedly raised literally tens of billions of dollars. Any other contribution to wildlife is a mere drop in the bucket. So maybe instead of criticizing hunters you should thank them for all the work done to restore the wildlife in North America to what it is today. I'm sure some of you will have some silly rebuttal or insult that you'll inevitably hurl my way but its okay cause I'm confident in my knowledge to handle others ignorance. Lastly if you eat meat and have hate for hunters you are the greatest hypocrites of all. At least these people work for their food, know where it was sourced and don't have possible 100 different animal remains in one kilo of ground meat. I'm not saying you have to become a hunter to have a clear conscious or be right, I'm just saying that being a little more self aware and a little less judgemental will go along way. Lastly for hunters if someone is being critical but not rude or simple asking to understand don't be an overt jerk and insult them. Instead inform and educate. We are the image that we want to leave behind and the way to make people understand isn't being a bunch of pricks. Its good to have the questions cause it keeps us honest and self reflect on why and what we do and thats not a bad thing to do every now and then. That was long winded but in summation, can't we all just get along....

HOLY CRAP!!! THAT SHOT!!!! Dropped that freight train of a bull moose in one shot!!! WOW!!!! Congratulations!!!

You can always play Cabela's hunting games 😂😂😂😂

perfect shot good job

Butifull hunt- thankx for the vid guys! disregard the anti-hunting bs- they dont understand and never will- k-page, northern maine

Moose is majestic animal. I love seeing this giant creature.

Bull of a lifetime , What an awesome experience thanks for the footage

Mid air collision? How unlucky is that in all that wilderness?

I just came across your channel and its amazing

6:38

Thank you

Great shot man

6:35 when you see the moose

Get real people food chains exist in nature for a reason. At least by hunting we’re doing in by way of virtue rather than dragging the calf to the back and blasting its head off.

The horns are huge, the size I've ever seen

Nice shot, man!

Folks, Hunting is the first step in conservation. God's blessing provided the bounty! I do have one question; how much of the meat did you carry out?...back straps for sure, tenderloin, ....two hams might be too heavy to carry out on foot!!

Got so lucky a grizzly didn’t run up on you when you were dressing that moose

The comment section when a whitetail buck is killed: nice buck Comment section when a moose is killed: how dare you.

That was a great shot.

How do you carry that head when I was ten I shoot my first elk I couldn’t pick it’s head up even then it was a cow

For all the anti-hunters, just remember these animals are regulated by the DNR you have to have a license to hunt they controle the numbers. And they do serve a purpose, I am a life long hunter. If I kill an animal it is for food or its a nuisance animal. (Varmint) I wonder all that are bitching about the kill, are you all vegetarians?

5:36 when you found out she cheated on you

Holy crap that is a nice moose!

I can understand some people don't hunt or don't like to see the animals they eat die. But there are some really ignorant, angry, self righteous goof balls here.

Why kill something so rare? Pretty disgusting if u ask me

Yes

Could i ask why you placed those tags around the antlers at the end?

6:36 I can’t even make that shot in a video game.

Anyone else a hunter

How do you transport that thing?

how do you get animals out when you're miles upon miles in the deep woods? never hunted

Great shot. Rest in peace the two men that were lost 🙏🏻

I've always wanted to be a hunter, but I'm too much of a sap. I get sad watching the moose fall to the ground in this video. I've just never been fond of taking life from other things. It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but I'm not upset that people hunt

My home state!! From North Pole, Alaska to Seward, Alaska💙💙🏞🦅

Such an awesome bull.

Thank you for sharing “the experience” with us! Great video keep up the good work!

People who are crying about hunting probably eat processed meat from grocery stores

How hard is it, a real hero

Nice shot; what rifle and caliber did you use?

I can watch deer shots all day and enjoy hog shots more than i should, but the moose is such a majestic animal... it's almost a darn shame to shoot one. I hope they never go extinct.

These are such beautiful majestic animals. Truly magnificent beasts. I am not entirely opposed to hunting, as long as the animal is used, and not just a trophy. I am not opposed to hunting, but only if it is done under the auspices of research-based ecological studies that result in legally oversighted licences where over-populations are culled, and not poaching. I have no qualms about poachers being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Poachers are a nemesis. Clearly, you guys are working within the law, and it must've been a tremendous experience, but I hope, now that you have gotten one, that future shots are footage, not ammo. JMHO. Great filming, btw, and so sorry for the loss of your two friends.

Great adventure, loved it. Why video is incomplete, where is the meat and Caracas of the moose. Do share a separate video on it in future. Thanks and cheers.

I feel bad that there were three lost men that adventure the moose, and the two dudes in the collision.

Excellent video. It doesn't get any more real than that in the Land of the Great White North. The sad part is that not many Alaskans can go on a hunt like that - but we do ok. I appreciate your approach to detail without saying a word including the Alaska State regulation that the horns come out last. Great job - well done; especially the single shot kill. Dropped him right in his tracks; that's how it should be. Excellent shooting and overall great video. Sorry to hear about your friends - my condolences to you and they're families. It was a bitter sweet experience to be sure. I hope you guys continue to put forth videos like this that promote good and moral hunting ethics. It shines a positive light on the thrill of the chase we call - the hunt. Thank you.

What an amazing hunt. I’ve always imagined going to Alaska, Western Canada, Montana or places like that and helping the conservation movements that save bison, moose and other animals like yhat

The song in this video reminds me of graduating high school

Awesome shot!!!
