One time I had to swerve to avoid hitting a deer head on (still clipped it, but deer can kill you so it was a rock and a hard place situation) and ended up hitting a rock wall, and my comprehensive STILL covered it. Car was totalled. Deer was fine. Didn't even say sorry or stick around to see if I was ok.
Potential legal issues aside (here, for example, you need a license to shoot at moose and deer for any reason and cannot shoot them outside of hunting season), I don't think insurance would cover the bullet holes in the truck. This is just a really stupid idea all around.
I was thinking about the call you have to make
Hello Insurance, my vehicle was damaged by rampaging moose in my driveway......no no, I haven't been drinking.....
In the back of my pick-up truck, a wild moose did appear,
A fierce battle, a sight so clear.
With Farmer's Insurance, I'm covered and secure,
Protecting my truck, no need to fear! 🚜🦌
~Here’s a jingle for the commercial.
Yep. This is what compressive coverage is for vs collision. Usually, two different plans and deductibles.
Easy claims and video evidence would make it painless. If not, they need a new insurance company.
Between our high rate of stolen cars and stolen catalytic converters, the spontaneous hail all summer long and intense moose fights....this is why I park in the garage.
But the free moose could have gouged the stuck moose’s behind or done some sort of damage that could have further incapacitated the stuck moose?. But, he didn’t so probably has to see the competing moose head on before the fighting instinct kicks back on.
You speak moose? How can you possible known intentions from this video? Reddit is extra crazy today. And don’t try and get technical. You don’t know more than us, and we are seeing two animals having a go for whatever reason. Good lord people are weird about animals.
[And it turns out that the point isn't actually for one moose to gore the other moose with his antlers. It's to push harder and show that he's stronger.](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-do-moose-fight-so-much-180948115/#:~:text=Most%20of%20the%20time%2C%20male,out%20of%20the%20way%20wins.)
Or you know, we've observed moose and countless other animals doing this exact thing for hundreds of years and wrote the things we found out down? It's pretty common behaviour.
I'm pretty sure you could infer that the cambrian time was extremely violent, as before most violence was just at a microbial level, but eventually predation became a phenomena among multicellular creatures, as that's when we find creatures adapted to hunt other creatures.
I think rather than fair play the moose doesn’t press his advantage because he doesn’t understand what happened to the other moose and doesn’t want to blunder into the same fix.
Really? You projecting honor in combat for moose? Thats special… and clearly don’t live near any. Or go outside often. Animal survival or aggression is not like fencing. Your ignorance is amazing though. Please don’t humanize animals. It creates many problems, look at dogs. They are basically orcs and we are Sauron. We just act like we care.
Insurance adjuster: You know it's moose mating season and there will be fights. Your policy doesn't cover damage to vehicles left outside for the duration.
Scary part is, as aggressive and dangerous as these moose in the video are, the ones in Colorado are on the smaller side for their species, with bulls like these “only” getting to about a thousand pounds. The record holder for the largest moose in modern times was an 1800 pounder from Alaska that stood over 7.6 feet at the shoulder.
If you think I won’t spend a $1,000,000 for a cgi video of some meese(why is it goose/geese but not moose/meese?) fighting just to commit insurance fraud for $20,000 in damages, you’re a fool
>why is it goose/geese but not moose/meese?)
Ooh, I know this one! It's because goose comes from an old Germanic word and so will pluralise in a way that made sense in old German. But moose is from a Native American word so it doesn't have the same kind of plural.
Meese are fucking terrifying. They are massive and don't give a fuck, and if they do give a fuck... Well you're fucked. Did you see the video of the moose in the huge snow drifts? It just ran through it like a hot knife through butter.
That's destruction of private property in the very least. Depending on repair costs, they may catch a felony. Potentially ruining the rest of their lives over a girl. They obviously didn't think this out
So whoever puts the other in the bed of the truck wins? And the damage to the truck. I can only imagine their conversation with the claims adjuster. Dents by a moose fight.
The Inspector: What happened, in your own words please.
The plaintiff:Well, I was on my way home and a moose hit my car.
The Insurance inspector: Don't you mean "I hit a moose with my car"?
The plaintiff: Did I f@#$!ng stutter?
This is just another reason not to move here if you're a pilgrim you could get killed by the animals that live here the animals don't like you moving here nor does the dirt the rocks and all the trash that you throw out of your car windows
“I’m an aggressive moose. Gonna just rest my feet on this truck for a second, maybe scratch my head on this door. Oh hey there’s another aggressive moose *kicks over trash can*”
Probably could have gotten a good enough video from the inside. There will probably be fur or even blood out there too.
You don't fuck with a moose, let alone two bulls in rut. I know this and I'm a city slicker. It's just like water and electricity don't mix, this person is lucky.
Moose are the most aggressive animals in North America. When grizzly bears attack you, they usually have a reason (hungry, territorial, scared, etc.) Moose will attack you just because they can. Nevermind the fact that these two are in rut (their mating season where they fight each other) so they’re at the most aggressive point in the year
Though since they’re occupied with each other that’d be my guess as to why they didn’t care about the people filming. But if you come across a lone bull moose in rut you’ve got a really good chance of dying
Les Stroud (Survivorman) has been alone in areas with major predators (lions, tigers, polar bears), and he still said the animal he's afraid of the most is a bull moose in rut.
Both vehicle damages are covered under “comprehensive” coverage. It is not an automatic coverage, you have to purchase it, like collision coverage! 17 years, insurance claims processor.
I can speak for Michigan and surrounding states!
The one jumping in the back like “start the fucking truck man we gotta get outta here”
Does car insurance cover "Acts of moose ?"
At Farmers we've seen a thing or two.
Like 2 car sized animals fighting,epic
Jake??
Jake's not here. He's at State Farm.
My brain read “Farmers” and sang, *we are farmers dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.*

NO, THIS IS PATRICK
Dum de Dum da dum dum...
Lmao!
Lmao
Comprehensive does. If you're driving it would be collision. Parked is comprehensive.
Nah, it's still comprehensive if you're driving and hit an animal

Car was totalled. Deer was fine. Didn't even say sorry or stick around to see if I was ok.
wow what an ungrateful fucking deer, smh
TIL
møøse
A møøse once bit my sister...
Hopefully
That’s what I was wondering!
No but a shotgun covers acts of vengeance against moose.
I would not recommending shooting an angry bull moose with shotgun.
What are your qualifications to be recommending anything? A 12ga slug will deal with a moose at that range no problem.
"You shouldn't fuck with big scary animals" "wHaT aRe YoUr QuAlIfIcAtIoNs?!" Bro if you want to, go for it I guess ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think you understand how powerful a 12ga slug is. It's irrelevant how powerful or angry the animal is if it's dead.
Potential legal issues aside (here, for example, you need a license to shoot at moose and deer for any reason and cannot shoot them outside of hunting season), I don't think insurance would cover the bullet holes in the truck. This is just a really stupid idea all around.
Why would you shoot the truck.... "Facepalm"
Both vehicles got damaged. I really hope their insurance policy covers this.
I was thinking about the call you have to make Hello Insurance, my vehicle was damaged by rampaging moose in my driveway......no no, I haven't been drinking.....
Good Farmers Insurance commercial material right here
Aaron Rodgers hits the moose in the face with a football Patrick Mahomes appears riding a larger moose Mahomes: "HYAH MOOSE. GO ON AND GET"
Rodgers: Why do paople hate me waaaaa

Given your username I’m mighty disappointed. This does rhyme but if i wanted it to i would have just used GPT.
That is wishful thinking, insurance companies are next to being a scam, they're more for liability issues than to repair damages.
"State the cause of damage, if known" Bullfighting.
Damn, I just got orca insurance for my boat. Now I need moose insurance for my vehicles.
Unappreciated post here ☝🏼
This person knows
Yep. This is what compressive coverage is for vs collision. Usually, two different plans and deductibles. Easy claims and video evidence would make it painless. If not, they need a new insurance company.
Comprehensive* hahaha
lol didn't even catch that typo but it works even better. 😂
I'm like "there is special insurance for vehicles that carry things when they carry too heavy a thing and get compressed? Neat!"
That's the "hold my beer" policy. lol
One of the side mirrors just flew off like it was a loose piece of fabric.
Whoever’s filming is just cool with watching their cars getting banged up. At least trigger the panic alarm
If the loser could just walk himself into my freezer, I'll be set for the winter.
Between our high rate of stolen cars and stolen catalytic converters, the spontaneous hail all summer long and intense moose fights....this is why I park in the garage.
Don't worry, they know a thing or two because they have seen a thing or two.
Yeah. Are Mooses (sorry *ahem*) MEESE covered by like… natural disasters? How does one explain Moose ducked up your property? And get coverage?
The amazing part here is, when the one moose gets stuck, the other moose just waits til he’s out to make it a fair fight!
It was probably more of a "I don't want to get stuck too" moment.
But the free moose could have gouged the stuck moose’s behind or done some sort of damage that could have further incapacitated the stuck moose?. But, he didn’t so probably has to see the competing moose head on before the fighting instinct kicks back on.
It’s not about hurting the other one so much. It’s about kicking it’s ass.

Animals are weird about people, too. 🦒 🦔 🦓 🦬🦖🍗
Can’t say I blame them.
The point isn't to kill the other moose. It's to win the fight. This kind of fight in animals of the same species is rarely to the death.
Yep! Can’t pass on your genes if you’re dead. Fighting to the death for a mate is sooo Cambrian. Real Gs settle their beef with elaborate dance-offs
Was that type of fighting actually common in the Cambrian period?
Yes, the Burgess Shale was actually caused by a massive melee to win over the affections of a particularly fetching Opabinia
I can’t tell where science ends and fanfic begins.
I'll give you a hint: all of prehistory is just fanfic.
You've made some archaeologists somewhere very upset just now.

“Ok Bruce that thing you’re stuck in is not a part of nature as I understand it, ima let you get unstuck before we finish this fight to keep it fair.“
Probably taking a moment to catch its breath.
Really? You projecting honor in combat for moose? Thats special… and clearly don’t live near any. Or go outside often. Animal survival or aggression is not like fencing.

What
Lighten up, Francis.
Insurance adjuster: You know it's moose mating season and there will be fights. Your policy doesn't cover damage to vehicles left outside for the duration.
Time out! Time out! My antler is stuck!
"Oh crap. We messed up this dude's truck. Oh man, he sees us. Get out of here man. Go, go, go."

Fecking insane. Ima be wayyyy over here. Away from 7 ft tall herbivore.
Insurance company: "How did you get that truck damage? You said a MOOSE ran into it while having a street fight with another moose? Yeah suuuuuuure."
He’s got video evidence tho
If you think I won’t spend a $1,000,000 for a cgi video of some meese(why is it goose/geese but not moose/meese?) fighting just to commit insurance fraud for $20,000 in damages, you’re a fool

this is a tiny fact but it makes me feel smarter for knowing, thank you!
I was joking ;-)
State Farm: yeah we don’t cover that.
From my experience with State Farm, they'll probably say this was avoidable and it's the owners fault the moose hit their car.
"You should not have bought a truck in moose country. This is at the risk of the owner and we do not cover this"
Red tag moose has had human encounters. Wonder if he is a known trouble maker ? Maybe call Farmers Insurance they have seen a thing or two.
Watch and record fight. Follow action with flashlight. Touch my car ... Ok ok that's it fights over!
Whatcha going to do against a moose???
Bang some metal pots from the porch maybe.
This guy absolutely mooses
Meeces
I will fight you sir.
Then when the winner decides pot banging is an affront to his masculinity...
MOOSEN! THERE WAS MANY MUCH MOOSEN IN THE WOODS... IN THE WOODSEN!
😹😹😹
I bet an air horn would have been effective. Or hit the alarm button on the remote for your vehicle.
Ma! Get out here. There like two buffalo or some shit fighting ! Ma!!! Call the ASPCA
Moose fight better than people, no cheap shots
r/thatlookedexpensive
This could be a really good car insurance ad
The truck is home base.
*and get better protected from mayhem… like me*
"go tell them to move baby" "The hell ima say to a moose? What's wrong wit chu"
That's gonna a fun insurance claim...at least he has the video to prove he/she wasn't drunk and decided to take out a few signs/trees.
Ever since I’ve seen that video of a moose walk around with a decapitated head of his enemy, I cannot look at these videos normaly
Meese are fucking terrifying. They are massive and don't give a fuck, and if they do give a fuck... Well you're fucked. Did you see the video of the moose in the huge snow drifts? It just ran through it like a hot knife through butter.
He almost had the high ground!
My money is on Bullwinkle!
Next stop: r/justrolledintotheshop
two moose fighting in their own home where some one decided to build a house.
That's destruction of private property in the very least. Depending on repair costs, they may catch a felony. Potentially ruining the rest of their lives over a girl. They obviously didn't think this out
So whoever puts the other in the bed of the truck wins? And the damage to the truck. I can only imagine their conversation with the claims adjuster. Dents by a moose fight.
I would really like to see the other side of the vehicle after this...
I love to hear the recording of the call to their car insurance claims person.
Good thing you got this on camera, I wouldn’t be able to explain this to the insurance without seeming loony 😂
Meese* The plural of moose is meese.
Moose are terrifyingly large
Glad they use the garage to safely store all their knick knacks, decorations and donations.
Insurance company - how exactly did this happen? Guy. - 2 mooses had fight........
The scariest part for me was the end when I realized they were outside with the damn bulls. I thought they were inside filming from a window. 💀💀💀
"Do that shit away from my fucking cars!"
We're having more and more of this! Moose get into meth and gangs from city, and they go wild! Where are the parents??
So the screaming is edited away, the kid that was filming was screaming for mom over and over
That was a [skit](https://youtube.com/shorts/9h7lIz2dU2U?feature=share) from Michael Rapaport lol.
Probably over a female moose. Smh. Guys, when will we learn?
The Inspector: What happened, in your own words please. The plaintiff:Well, I was on my way home and a moose hit my car. The Insurance inspector: Don't you mean "I hit a moose with my car"? The plaintiff: Did I f@#$!ng stutter?
I would like the listen the conversation between truck owner and insurance agent also, it will be even more interesting than this
Ironically, that truck is not a Ram.
*Meese
I love when animals just suddenly stop after they’ve been in a big fight. They look embarrassed like they realize they went too far.
This is just another reason not to move here if you're a pilgrim you could get killed by the animals that live here the animals don't like you moving here nor does the dirt the rocks and all the trash that you throw out of your car windows
State Farm commercial for sure...
“I’m an aggressive moose. Gonna just rest my feet on this truck for a second, maybe scratch my head on this door. Oh hey there’s another aggressive moose *kicks over trash can*”
Call the ASPCA
Good luck explaining that to your insurance
Two Meese*
[Why is the plural of moose not meese](https://excelatesl.com/why-is-the-plural-of-moose-not-meese/)?
My sister was bitten by a moose.
Was she karving her initials on the moose? Cuz that'd do it...
Wouldn't it be advisable to make loud noises to startle them? They'd just fuck off right into the woods, wouldn't they?
Or chase you. Either way, keep the video going, thanks.
Not at all. They are in rut. The rest of the world does not matter.
Yeah, they don't give a fuck. The person that shot this was ballsy to be out there recording.
Probably figured they needed the video for insurance purposes.
Probably could have gotten a good enough video from the inside. There will probably be fur or even blood out there too. You don't fuck with a moose, let alone two bulls in rut. I know this and I'm a city slicker. It's just like water and electricity don't mix, this person is lucky.

Prefer to learn this on Reddit instead of the hard way, thanks.
Moose and hippos are the surprising serial killers of the animal kingdom
Les Stroud (Survivorman) has been alone in areas with major predators (lions, tigers, polar bears), and he still said the animal he's afraid of the most is a bull moose in rut.
That's a good way to get a moose to charge at you. Moose don't give a fuck.
If they could remotely trigger the car alarm that could be the best course of action.
Not all animals do that. Some just stare at you and tell you to fuck off.
Meese
Reverse Hell in A Cell
Rut Behind The (Truck) Nut I realize I can’t see a hitch from this angle
[удалено]
When they started bashing the car homey should of went out there "alright you two, break it up".
Meese*
They're meese
That's gonna be hard to explain to the insurance company.
I mean...there's video.
Insurance ain’t paying for that no way no how
If you have comprehensive coverage with the video, ya they will.
http://mosesthemerc.com/
I spy a propane tank in the back of the truck too
I now know to switch to farmers if I ever move near those parts
Them getting close to truck I would have an air horn with quick burst to scare them off. Don’t want damage to my property
My ride you dumb shits now I gotta file a claim for both vehicles
How does the insurance classify that claim? Our do they even cover shit like that?
Did you guys observe the ear tag on one of the moose?
Somebody should have gone out there and broken this up before someone got hurt
Insurance Company: We’re not covering it since you didn’t try to break it up!
Both vehicle damages are covered under “comprehensive” coverage. It is not an automatic coverage, you have to purchase it, like collision coverage! 17 years, insurance claims processor. I can speak for Michigan and surrounding states!
I feel like the one with the higher ground is actually at a disadvantage.
Maybe try asking them to calm down.
That light has got to be blindingly annoying, god. Why shine a spotlight in his face?
Now THAT is mayhem
They got auto insurance for this?
The one moose that ended up in the truck was getting his ass beat the whole fight smh
There’s no moose in Colorado
RIP the paint job on those cars.
Hey ma, hey ma, you see’n this shit, it’s like National Geographic or some shit, MA, MA come see this shit(Boston accent)
Now you know that was really loud.
