3 Moose Feed in My Yard (Video)

Its pretty common to have moose walk threw our yard, they even jump our fence into our backyard occasionally.

This afternoon I happen to be playing with my camera when i heard something outside my window, i pulled aside the curtain to see these three munching away.

My camera is a digital with a video mode, so i couldn't zoom in or out without ending the recording session, that's why these videos are some what short.

Its a nice surprise when you get a random visitor from the woods, it takes you out of your own little world, at least for a moment.



They moved to the front yard so i am standing in the doorway now (no more tv in the background )









nothing spectacular i know, but i felt it would be nice to share a little bit of my home with the ATS community.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. They look like they can do alot of damage to your bushes. Beautiful animals, your lucky to be able to witness them first hand.

Love it! The best way to have the trees pruned!

This time of year they are stuffing their guts to the max in prep for winter.

Aww, babies! Too cute.

Great videos, thanks for posting.

It IS spectacular!

It's a beautiful beautiful sight.
One that we all should cherish -
an energy to balance out this topsy turvy existence.

Thanks for sharing this!

Nice videos! Something funny looking about those guys, I like them

Those were AMAZING!! Thank you SO MUCH for going to the trouble of posting them.

A bit of sanity in an insane world.

Cool! and nobody was trying to shoot them, cept for you

We want more!

Oh they are so cute! Are they dangerous? They look pretty tame for wild animals...like you could just walk up and give them a pat on the head!

They are....and will attack....esp if they have babies with them.
When I lived in Alaska, they were everywhere, like squirrels. Great to watch - from a safe distance. And they are huge....size of horses.


Great vids Alaskan man! I have some great pics and vids too....but havent looked at them in awhile.

Fantastic - thanks for posting this amongst all the gloom and doom. What an amazing sight to see in your yard!! I love it.

Nice video

Im going to post some pics of emu's feeding at the vacant lot at the back of my house if I can get the usb connection on my laptop fixed

This was very much a 'feel good' moment. Thank you for sharing.

I really needed this. On a site like this, you never know how much good a positive post can do.

That was great! They sure like your bushes.

Isn't it funny how just watching that video, not even being there, can bring you back to the simple things in life? Thanks for sharing I envy your location, unfortunately I'm smack dab in the middle of the rat race.

Nice, reminds me of the opening theme from Northern Exposure
I've had a wilderness experience on my yard too. I was out for a smoke at the middle of the night, the whole town sound asleep. I saw what I thought was a dog who had ran away from the owners. I wen't to look closer and when it walked under the street light I saw that it was actually a wolf. Lucky thing it wasn't hungry because there was one fat pig standing right there staring at it.

A healthy wolf wont bother a human. Actually they are quite social. I hang out with them occasionally.

Those are great videos.
I had a moose in my living room last year:

Awww How sweet. Thanks so much for taking care of the poor baby until you could get it to the specialists,

Op thanks for sharing. Those were great videos. Glad some jerk on a power trip wasn't shooting at them. We have video in a box somewhere of a young moose swimming all the way across the lake to a small island. We followed him with the boat as did others thinking he may not make it and need some help.
He made it though tired with shaky legs when he touched ground.
