Default Sparring Moose Pics

I was pretty excited when I recently checked my trail cams and saw these pictures of sparring moose. There's two larger bulls and one small one (actually joins the fight of the bigger ones in the second pic). They also come back the following night to go again, this time the smaller one with one of the larger ones.

I'm not sure how often this is caught on camera but I've never been lucky enough in the past and thought I'd share these.

Something one rarely might see, never mind being able to save the pics and so many! It was as though they were posing. Pretty neat

Awesome photos. Thanks for sharing.
I'd probably crop the trail cam details out and frame some prints of the daytime ones if they were mine. Really cool pics for sure

I was back out in that area again today. Have the moose on trail cam a few more times but just walking by this time. I did find another large area where it looked like they had been sparring again not too far from the first spot. And later on I heard something smashing antlers in the bush which was way too loud for deer so it may have been these guys again. It was right at last light though otherwise I would have tried to find them.

Nice cam pics. If you have a moose draw I suggest you hang a stand on the same tree the trail cam is on.

Great pics! Out of the three draw bull tags we filled this year between my wife, my buddy and myself, two of them had serious fresh scars. My buddy's was blind in one eye and we found out it had a broken eye socket while doing the European mount!

Thanks for sharing! What a great trail cam surprise.

Some day I hope to see a match like that in person.
