Moose Fighting During the Rut
Moose Fighting During the Rut
To see the moose fighting during the rut, is quite an experience, and the rut is in full swing now.
The bulls have all shed the velvet on their antlers the past week or so, and once that happens, things heat up.
The bull on the right, is the largest guy in the area. The other guy, is one of 2 medium sized bulls.
This image was taken after the two above, and you can get a better idea of the size difference.
This is the same 2 bulls, and one of the cows at the river. I love this shot, even though I got wet feet to get it.
And then there was this day. This was by far the most amazing morning….ever. All 4 bulls, and 4 cows were all together. The boys were really showing the stuff, and several fights broke out. These are the 2 largest bulls. Shoshone, and Bannock.
Sizing it up.
And then, something I have never seen before. Three bull moose fighting together.
It was quite the morning. Well worth getting up early for.
I love this time of year here, the wildlife are active, the colors are gorgeous, it’s wonderful all the way around.
Oh wow, what sight to see three bull moose fighting. Did it end well? Awesome collection of photos. Have a great day!
Such beautiful animals and so interesting how they are always fighting. Hopefully no one will get seriously injured.
This is not going to be my most original comment but… WOW! WOW! WOW!
Awestruck.
Amazing and so worth the early morning wake up and the feet getting wet … wow!
Wow… Three bull moose fighting together!!! Awesome shots!
Isn’t that amazing! Though you’d think with 4 males and 4 females, they could come to agreement. :)
Definitely worth waking up early for. That big bull has huge antlers! Great fight photos!
You sure did have a good morning with them! It is wonderful to consider your photos.
Amazing capture. Must have been special to watch (and of course photograph) the fight.
These photos are amazing. So…they fight with just their horns?
