That’s really interesting! I always wanted to see how a moose sheds their antlers. I’ve been really curious how they do it or how long it might take them. I asked myself if it might hurt them or if they use a tree for help. But it seems like they just shake it off! I’m actually surprised how fast it happened.
I saw a similar video recently of a deer shedding both his antlers at the same time (while shaking his head)
It’s crazy how we can capture all these ultra rare spectacles of nature now that we have drones and trails cams everywhere.
Here is the video here https://youtu.be/7YsUimgDxyc
It looks the exact same, heavy heavy body shaking followed by a big head shake and boom both antlers pop off. It must be a ritual for these types of animals.
And just like that – $500 in dog chews!

They’re actually called ‘Canada man’
Funny how many people are shocked to learn that moose and deer shed their antlers every year. It does sound strange for sure but what I find most interesting is how fast they grow, I think it’s like 4″ a day.
Edit: I’m told it’s closer to 1/4″ a day, still pretty wild
The most Canadian video I’ve seen in awhile
We lived in Alaska when I was a kid and my dad has a HUGE moose rack he found while hunting. It has tiny scratches all over it because mice and rodents would gnaw on them as food. I think they’re still in his garage to this day.
Something tells me this process is itchy for the moose.
TIL that moose shed their antlers.
This is nice trophy hunting. Happy human happy meese
I bet it feels good to have that big heavy thing off of your head for a while
Do Moose also go through the bloody velvet process when they grow back?
They almost don’t need to say “Canadian man”. Who else could it have been?
Why is it when deer and moose shed their antlers they do that little freak out and run away? Like bro you just did that yourself.
Shake it off
Moost be a Taylor Swift fan.
Why do moose do this?
I have a neighbor that scares the shit out of me with his drone too.
WoW
I get that this is a super rare event to witness, but the dialog and overdramatic pacing/editing just made it feel like a Joel Haver sketch.
Now you’re a girl dragon 😂😂😂(in Donkeys Voice)
i want to pull it off for them instead what gets left behind whats their skull look like?
Super cool! Shed hunting is a ton of fun, but also massively frustrating if you don’t find anything
Strong >!Thidwick The Big Hearted Moose!< vibes here
One man’s trash…
Probably shouldn’t be intentionally flying a drone this close to large animals.
I generally try to avoid being close to animals all together if I can when I fly. Obviously I won’t always know when animals are present, but when I do I try to steer clear of them so I don’t bother them instead of getting closer of them to get footage
This might be one of the most Canadian videos of all time
I love how he bolts immediately afterwards, like a dog that scares itself with its own fart.
That’s a new one for me. Had no idea they came off
I’m so surprised they both come off at the same time.
I’m astonished that they both come off at once.
What if it was a lady moose who just got away with a moose crime and is ditching her disguise?
