You are so right. t never ceases to amaze us how few serious injuries occur with these fights. We've witnessed several, known for a couple of injuries (eye, leg) but nothing that took a life. (We did not witness the tragic fight this year between Grumpy and the mystery bull, and are glad for that.) Want to keep ti that way!

I've read that given the amount of energy it takes for these big boys to fight and the serious damage they can do to each other, such fights are usually over pretty quickly with one bowing out rather than taking it to an extreme. Usually no one is badly hurt. This proves the theory. Aren't they absolutely magnificent?

It's true, they really aren't out to kill one another, just best the other. It's all about mating rights. That is the only reason they fight. It's rare that death occurs. There can be lockups that will kill both bulls but that's not their intent; that's a freak thing. And the bull that spins out or calls uncle is allowed to leave without a chase. It is respected. Sometimes they are more civilized than humans. Thanks very much for the comment, you're so very right, Cindy!

Mooseman, how many times have you seen where two bulls got locked yogether and ended up dead?

I was glad to see them both walk away and live to fight another day. It looks to me like there is plenty of land out there for both of them to have their very own territory without a fight to the finish. They really are magnificent creatures! I love watching the video of the man who takes his trash out to the shed and when he turns around a HUGE moose is walking toward him. He immediately goes back in the shed and shuts the door and the moose stands there and waits for him to come out for just a few minutes and then goes on about his business. I have watched that video a dozen or more times.

6 ай бұрын

They usually do walk away, thankfully Maryann, otherwise I'd not want to film a fight! And while bulls do tend to keep to a particular area, t's not about territory they fight over, it's the cows. So wherever the cows go, the bulls want to be. In this instance the younger bull had some cows in the older bull's area, because the older bull had wandered another mile and some away for other cows. It gets crazy out there. And I saw that video too, of the guy and the shed. Funny stuff! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks very much. And they do break. Sometimes a fight will take an antler clean off, other times a paddle will be broken in half. But for the most part the tines are just broken off. There is no marrow, so they're not alive and cause no pain. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Thank you for this wonderful comment. We love being able to share all the different aspects of these wild animal's lives. And fights are a holy grail to be sure, very tough to get on and film safely and well. to be sure. We were thrilled to get this one in the can and that both bulls walked away unhurt. Appreciate the comment!

Used to see this all the time when we lived in Alaska. Boom. Love to have you on my wall ❤️

I watched this again. Awesome footage. 22 used the terrain to his advantage got high ground a couple times. Hopefully both these awesome bulls are back this fall. LH needs a rematch.

Yes, despite 22, the wise old man, gaining high ground, LH had the audacity to go for an uphill push! We were impressed (if not slackjawed). We sure hope 22 returns and that LH shows up for the party too, and they do rematch AND that we're there in a beautiful clearing with front row center views to film it all in 4K slo mo! (We can dream, right?)😁🤞

Yes, sometimes the antlers get so locked that both bulls die of exhaustion and stress. At least they shed them every year after the rut is over. They can at least go around in the winter without all that extra weight on their heads. Until the next summer, of course. The amazing cycle of antlered animals. Thanks for the comment.

These bulls were deeply concentrated on the opponents steps and head sways, then explodes into each other head on like that with little to no build up.

Thanks so much, MrU. Glad you enjoyed this. It's amazing to watch bulls wag into the fight. At any time a bull can opt (whine) out and that will be the outcome, there will be no fight or chase, it's over. The other grunts his victory. But here, there was no opting out and at some magical point they went at it. The younger Left Hook, despite his strength and crazy antlers, was bested by the older, wiser, wider racked 22. (The loser is always the bull who runs off first.) No blood no foul, Left Hook took his bat and went home. 22 claimed his cows back. But not until he stood there for a few moments to catch his breath!

Fights generally aren't meant to be deadly, one bull usually concedes the fight, as in this case. The winning bull lets the loser go. But if evenly matched, they do go at it hard, for sure.

In the past we have indeed felt the tundra shake to the rumble of two behemoths going at it. Just amazing. We never know if it's actually going to end up in a brawl; at times even these two seemed more like they were going to spar than fight. But this year Left Hook has come to his own and wanted all in. It's unnerving stuff to film because of safety coming first, but we had nice big trees to dash into for cover if need be. Glad you're on board, Kat!

Haha. 😆 We joked that if he’d only look in a puddle 🪞 to see himself he may have been more of a player 💪 but wow this year? sally, bar the door! Left Hook is In The Building. (He’s fought someone since and has a nasty injury to/over his right eye. 👁 Haven’t shared any of that yet. Kinda ugly. But he’s acting like a big bad bull during the rut, chasing cows all over!
