Big Bull Moose Fight, Loser Moans in Defeat
Big Bull Moose Fight! We recommend TURNING UP the volume, great antler clanking. Welcome to Moose & Coffee, this video has been in production for weeks. I (Rick) filmed this fight in thick woods and it was challenging but exciting. Libby did an amazing job producing this footage. The location of the fight was in the area where Scoop, Fondue, Six Brow, Funky Joe, Royal and of course…SOH and Bob Gnarly reside.
First I’ll describe what you DON’T see in this video, which is the moments before the fight. SOH was minding his business guarding a cow and her calf, it was a peaceful day in the woods, with beautiful fall colors around. We saw SOH’s ears perk up, his eyes came alive, next thing you know…Gnarly was marching in. I was not sure if it was game on, but I took off into the woods thinking the bulls would go to higher ground (which they did).
The video opens with SLO MO of SOH’s leg hooked in Gnarly’s right antler, they crash into a tree, leaves fly.
At 1:17 seconds both bulls aware of each other, start wagging in, SOH from left, Gnarly from the right.
At 2:04 seconds I dash into the woods to attempt to get in place. Buckle up!!
At 2:08 seconds the fight goes down before I can start filming, but I catch up with them and hit record button.
At 2:11 seconds SOH on left
At 2:26 seconds Gnarly on left
At 2:42 seconds Gnarly on right being pushed, SOH holding his own and doing well.
At 2:49 seconds Gnarly pushes SOH back
At 2:59 seconds SOH knocks down a tree, they spin, SOH hops because his leg is caught at this point.
At 3:11 seconds I am in position to film SOH left foreleg caught in Gnarly’s right antler.
At 3:24 seconds I have to change positions in a hurry, and I manage to catch the aftermath of the tree crash, both bulls are still at it.
At 3:28 seconds SOH nearly goes down but recovers, limping , he spins out to stop the fight.
At 3:33 seconds we show you a review of the slip, and the cheap shot Gnarly threw at SOH.
At 3:52 seconds, the winner is Gnarly
At 4:02 seconds the loser SOH limps off, clearly injured but walking.
At 4:53 seconds Gnarly showing his war wounds.
After this, Libby went in the woods to try to find SOH, no luck, she was quite worried about him. But the following day we found him, sore but walking…as if nothing had happened. More on that later.
