That is something I never would have seen before I leave this Earth and I'm 74. Thank you to whoever uploaded this.

I love how he was scared of his antlers. It's as if he didn't even know he had them in the first place. Maybe this was his first shed and he didn't know what to expect.

"It's so cold out here I'm freezing my damn antlers off!" -moose

It will never not blow my mind that they grow all that in a year. I grew up in rural Wisconsin so I've always been aware of antler-shedding, but it's still so incredible to me!

I love how he scared himself. Like "Ah god! Something fell on me!!" Then a moment later he probably realized it was just his antlers. Makes you wonder if moose are emotionally capable of feeling embarrassment.

"Get rid of months worth of neck pain with this one weird trick!"

Wow that’s one heck of a gift from that moose!

The little freedom skip the moose did was adorable. I'm sure it's uncomfortable for them to be so heavy and not properly attached anymore

When it first came out this video sent me down a rabbit hole of learning how insanely cool the whole antler growth process is.

Plot twist: the guy ordered the antlers online and the moose is just delivering them at his doorstep

Shaking off that 30 pounds of weight from its head must've felt so good.

I'm jealous...

That's crazy! I like how he scared himself when they came off 😂

How lovely that he left you a beautiful gift right outside your home ❤

[chrissiem]

I love how the shedding of his own antlers made him jump. Like dogs who scare themselves with their own farts 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i didn’t know they shed their antlers. i thought it was like a lifetime growth type of thing. learn something new everyday.

[batacumba]

I love how he ran off like he was littering. 😂

[eriwilliams]

That's a lotta Alaska going on. The moose and antlers, the snow, the truck, the man...

[cynicalnative]

Moose must be feeling relief and vulnerable at same time! Quite the conundrom.

I love how his antlers literally just came off, but more importantly that he got spooked by it happening. That’s great!

What a lucky surprise! Definitely a valuable gift 💙
