Ho LEE FUK at this moose attack caught on camera, dude wins (video)

[Blacryan]

I would recommend some sort of hunting rifle, but the best way to survive a wild animal is by respecting its territory and avoid walking head on, if you encounter an animal in the woods, just reach slowly for your rifle, step back and beware of the animals reaction towards you. A shotgun won't be lethal in the way a hunting rifle will, so I suggest keeping to weapons with a bit of stopping power and medium large/large rounds.

More often than not you will be able to avoid confrontation, and that's always the better option between avoiding a big animal and walking head on and killing it. Wear bells of some sort and talk or sing when out in territories with bears and meese etc, that will keep them aware of your presence and that way you will avoid cathing one off guard. If you accidentaly run into a moose or bear etc, do not approach it screaming and stuff like the guy in the vid, stay away and try not to make any sudden movements, approaching like the guy did in the video is kind of signaling that you are confrontational, and the animal will get protective and agressive towards you.

You want to know how I know you're completely ****ing retarded?

I bet you don't even know what type or caliber the weapon you claim to carry was. This leads me to believe that all of this bull**** you continue to spew is just complete PETA horse**** you're making up.

First off, No hunting caliber round is going to have more stopping power than a shotgun slug, or even 00 buckshot.

Hunting animals? Sure, use a hunting round.

Covering your ass because a bear is about to eat your skull? Slug.


Your post just get more and more retarded as they come. You've never been in a 'stand off' with any wild animal that wasn't a daddy long legs in your shower you ***got.

Should have finished it off, not cool leaving it there dying.

[Rencity01]

Just read whole thread, this has to be the most retarded day of miscing I've ever seen.

Can't believe the arguing, it is impossible to win an argument against a retard keyboard warrior.

shet dismantled monica's post just liek that

[memcop]

The officer did what he had to do, JUSTIFIED.


Wait where am I?

[Blacryan]

buckshot doesn't have that same punch that a rifle round has, my grandpa has an old 9,3x62 caliber "moosebouncer" as we call them in Sweden, don't remember what brand though, haven't even used it for two years or so since I don't travel up north anymore.

A slug is good, yes, but buckshot won't kill a fukin bear as fast as a slug or even a 9,3x62, that's what I learned when taking my hunting license. I have never actually fired a shotgun slug so I didn't really think of mentioning it, but buckshot won't do any damage besides external damage, and if you want to stop a bear you better create some internal damage with either a rifle round or a slug.

You can think I'm lying all you want, I know that I have been in those situations and it doesn't matter what you think. Talk about getting rustled, just because our opinions differ.

I bet you've never fired a firearm before.

Because you're ****ing stupid.

[hockeyd13]

I'm not sure if thats legal if it isn't in season, even if he was forced into killing it.

really not sure though. I know game and wildlife, if reported to the scene, would scavage the meat, but not sure if you are allowed to.

It's definitely not legal to kill an animal out of season unless you're at immediate risk of injury from the animal.

The guy's a fukking tard for posting the vid though, because there are ridiculously steep fines/possible jail time for "unjustly" killing an animal out of season.

[mattadams87]

Don't feel sorry for the Moose. Sorry, I have no sympathy for a fuking moose, coyotes, tigers, lions, alligators or anything else that is overly agressive and can kill me. The gun evens the playing field, and hey, if the animal started it, WHICH HE DID, sorry, you gotta go. (All of you *******s saying oh just turn around its his territory, etc.) We live on this planet too, humans are natural and native just to this planet like a moose, so its my territory too, he should have just moved a few steps out of the way instead of wildly attacking and it wouldn't have happened. And to anybody who says, but he doesn't know any better he's just an animal....Then he shouldn't be alive in the first place if they're all that naturally retarded.

EDIT: And who cares if its legal???? It turned around and was coming back towards him.. Are you going to tell me you'd risk your life to not get fined? Would you really be thinking, oh **** he's coming back for more but i can't do anything because its against the law?

Doubt it...I wouldn't risk turning around and having my back to that thing for a second.

[Tweedurr]

Warning shot might have been an option. I dunno, he shouldn't have antagonized it but chit happens.

[mattadams87]

Also, you can't just "turn around" on a trail like that. You would likely get stuck while going off trail with your back to the moose.

[Jkether]

Rip in peace moose brah

[Heaney]

This.....brb barking like a coyote at a moose, yes that should scare it away. I don't get why he didn't fire shots into the air when it was 50yds away

[Redis]

The officer did what he had to do, JUSTIFIED.


Wait where am I?

I was wondering how people would react if you replaced the moose with a person.

[tbaxley93]

aw wtf he shot the moose, brah you should have put that in the op.


thats a really small moose as well, some of the ones I have seen in alberta are 3 times that size.

the males get huge

is this real life???????

This post is "naturally retarded"

[Arsyy]

why is nature so dumb. =(

Poor moose, but you are phucking dumb

[FattyAtHeart]

The guy went up the trail a bit and stopped. He was checking for injuries, waiting to see if shots were fatal, calming down so his heart condition didn't kill him... really, any of those things! Nice assumption that he didn't go back.

Okay, I don't like judging a book by its cover, but I've read all of this guy's posts ITT and now can confirm..... you are the definition of a fat phuck redneck loser *******.



If the moose in the video or you were running towards me, I'd definitely be more afraid of you. A 300 pound ugly redneck that seems to enjoy shooting anything that moves.

[gixxer0.6g]

Moose really don't give a fuk. I had a huge bull come up right behind me when I was fly fishing. I could have walked right under it w/o ducking. He was huge. The fuker wasn't going anywhere. I ended up going for a swim, losing a shoe and back tracking over a mile, half barefoot just to get back to camp.

I can't believe that pistol took that moose down. Granted it was a really young moose but up here you need more than a glock to take down some wildlife.

If I were in that situation, I would have first tired to wait for the trail to clear. If that didn't work, I'd try to find another route. He really was asking for it.

Shame to see him take down that little guy. It would have looked great on a wall a few years down the road.

[jz416]

I guess turning around and waiting wasnt a possibility then.

ya know, as much as its really just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things, he could just turned around came back another time, and if not he should have at least ended its suffering.

[stilllmatic]

I would have turned the gun sideways before shooting honestly

Edit: People are actually defending the moose? If that was Trayvon, everyone would say hell yeah Stand Your Ground. Pathetic.

[ralphplsgo12]

Because miscers are some of the worlds biggest pussies alive. Brb a dog looked at me funny, better shoot it. Oh ****, a wild animal defending its territory, better kill it.

Biggest group of pussy bitches I've ever met.

^^^pretty much all of your responses so far

you cant "go around" moose, especially going off a trail in an insane amount of snow where the ground is probably extremely unstable and you cant see whats under it. put that variable into the equation that already has an extremely aggressive wild animal in a very remote area, the risk you take of trying to avoid the moose is insurmountably high. but hey, sorry you cant admit youre wrong. i take it you dont do well with rejection

[HoLeeFuk]

strong username to thread title correlation.

[Heaney]

is this real life???????

Male moose can grow to almost 7 feet tall and between 1000 and 1500lbs lol

[tbaxley93]

I agree with this from the youtube comments

well he was justified
I just wish there was another way but in that situation there wasn't

It's sad watching him shoot the moose, but he gave the moose 2 chances trying to attack him and by the 3rd shot it... brb apologizing for defending my life. I hate watching an animal die, but it's better than me dying.

Male moose can grow to almost 7 feet tall and between 1000 and 1500lbs lol

That's nucking futs.

Can you imagine one of those charging at you and you're unarmed? omfg. instant chitting myself, and probably soon death. lol

[Diab0lic]

Seems a bit OTT but it def worked lol. I wouldv'e finished the kunt off with one to the dome though rather than letting it bleed out

[codyistheman]

holy phuck.

[Heaney]

In b4 the moose didn't die and comes back to exact vengeance

[tbaxley93]

One of the youtube comments pointed out the first shot was a warning shot, THEN the moose started charging again, which looks to be accurate.

Either way it's done now, no point in arguing lol. I just hope he didn't let it suffer and bleed out.

[hostessfactory]

Having myself been charged at by a moose once....I can confirm that this^ doesn't work you f***ing retard.

I have had a moose cross my path before while hiking (2 separate occasions) and my experience was the exact opposite. Once it jumped into my path about 15 ft in front of me. I backed up slowly and kept backing up til i was a good distance then went another direction. Never saw that moose again
