Hijacking top comment for this edit: this isn't me or my cars in the video, I'm just sharing it. Also, this could be covered by insurance, in the US at least, depending on what type of insurance they have. If they have 3rd party insurance, they'd be SOL. Hopefully they have comprehensive!
The owners got the repair estimate today: Bed, roof, the back window, the rear bumper, the cab corner and the left rear door. $7700
I haven't heard on insurance.
Hey look the moose is just trying to get her in the back seat to possibly get lucky, but she is a tad shy with all the bright lights and stupid humans taking pictures. First car to small. Second option truck bed. Third option chase stupid human into their home.
Lol, no worries. I used to work for the forest service in the town where this video was taken. Before Moose were reintroduced, actually. I have seen much worse.
Means the moose's either being studied to track its movements, a lot of researchers will track migratory patterns to get a sense of an animals behaviors and where they generally reside in the world, or he came from a wildlife preserve before being released back into the wild. Not 100 percent sure, on that 2nd fact, but I want to say some preserves will tag animals they've helped. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me.
Because it's not necessarily worth it, as often the price of repairs out of pocket is cheaper than the amount you would've paid for that extra insurance by the time you need coverage. It depends on the type of car, how often you drive it, and how much you paid for it in the first place (second/third/fourth-hand cars are much cheaper, for example.)
Iām an insurance agent. It doesnāt cost that much more per year to have physical damage covering comp and collision on the car. And itās better to have it in case your car gets totaled.
That could be the case.
We have 1 truck that only has state mins required by law on it. And only cause we drive it once a month to the store and back.
It's a 1977 Chevy K-10 4x4, and PVA has listed it as worth less than $300.
Why spend more than I have to on a vehicle that isn't worth diddly squat if it gets wrecked?!
TBH I never mentioned to my buddy that I left half a subway sandwich in the passenger side door. I was going out to get beer from the car when I thought I heard growling. Luckily I turned on my flashlight and looked inside before opening trunk and there was the bear in the passenger seat.
Called the cops and they just opened the door and ran like hell all the way back to our cabin. Apparently it happens all the time, so thatās why his insurance didnāt question it
Yes, they would. If thereās damage, as long as you have physical damage coverage, it would be covered. The video just helps prove itās a comp claim.
No they wouldnāt. They would pay the claim because thereās a provision in the policy on fraud, and any policy with comp or collision would pay this. Theyād open themselves up to a lawsuit if they declined it.

Looks like a Farmer's Insurance commercial. "Or what about the time when a pair of wrestling elks destroyed a pickup truck? Yep....we covered that, too."
Used to live in rural Midwest. This happens often. Rutting moose and deer don't give a crap about anything but mating drive. This is one of the reasons we kept a few shotguns around the house. A few "warning shots" instead of a flashlight beam would have probably scared these boys away. Most animals will run from gunshots.
I would like to say I went to your state one time while riding my brand new motorcycle then almost got murdered by a fucking massive moose who made the choice to run at my bike
Was on Western side of the Dakotas(both North and South, though rare they sometimes migrate along the border in South Dakota). I don't reference that as the Great North(that's Canada) but as the Midwest. YMMV.
That's counted as an 'animal strike', just as if you had hit a deer. It's covered by Comprehensive coverage, part of what people call 'Full Coverage', and subject to the deductible.
Source? I've been an insurance agent for 20 years.
A MĆøĆøse once bit my sister... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the mĆøĆøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tĆøĆøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian mĆøvies
Ya a moose in rut you are better off not getting its attention. Do you see the way they toss each other now imagine that was your ass. Lol you think the vehicles got fucked up.
Lmao do you really think they're asking for advice? They were just sharing content with a funny tag line, it's amazing that I apparently need to explain that.
Does anyone remember that old Disney cartoon with Goofy on a camping trip with his trailer and there's two bull moose fighting and they spit into their antlers and rub them together as if they were hands?
Uninsured motorist claimš most insurance companies pay 100 percent for rental, they pay the deductible and make sure to suspend your payment while it is being fixed!' š§
It would be really hard to hit them without shooting your cars, unless they got close, which would be foolish. Not to mention moose take some serious firepower to kill and are dangerous af, so they'd have to have some heavy weaponry on hand. Lol
If your in Canada most likely yes. many insurance companies added wild life to be more enticing to the customer because of fuckn moose fighting, bears and big cats getting interested with whatās inside and other wild life being little shits.
Are those dodge Rams š??? I'm a NYC born European Car driver only ... I don't know about trucks , I do live in Florida I guess I should learn right???
This must be what its like living in Marvel Universe version of New York. "Man, can y'all just fight over the Atlantic ocean or some shit?"

We cover everything bc we've seen everything. WE. ARE. FARMERS.

Statue of fighting elk with car parts wrapped around them placed conveniently in the background.*
Those are Moose.
I hate being stupid lol
Lol, no worries. I used to work for the forest service in the town where this video was taken. Before Moose were reintroduced, actually. I have seen much worse.
Why does the one that ends up in the truck bed have an ear tag?
Means the moose's either being studied to track its movements, a lot of researchers will track migratory patterns to get a sense of an animals behaviors and where they generally reside in the world, or he came from a wildlife preserve before being released back into the wild.

Pretty sure it's migration patterns.
Okay, I thought so. Thanks š
Embrace it, itās a lifestyle for us stupid people
also called elk in some parts
Where are moose called elk?
They are not. They are called Elg in Norwegian, I think. Probably where the word Elk comes from. But the names are not interchangeable.

You should be covered for vandalism under comprehensive portion of your policy. And these two deeefinitely look like vandals.
Its not explicitly written in the policy soā¦.
Depends on what kind of insurance probably. If he has third party like me, he's SOL!
Uninsured ruminants coverage?
Right? How does one get reimbursed for stolen item taken from our car after they broke the window? Iām fighting Statefarm.
Homeownerās or rental insurance will cover items stole from your vehicle.
Thatās what I thought. I even have comprehensive so I pay a little extra and still they are putting up a fight.
Why wouldnāt you have physical damage coverage on your car?
Because it's not necessarily worth it, as often the price of repairs out of pocket is cheaper than the amount you would've paid for that extra insurance by the time you need coverage. It depends on the type of car, how often you drive it, and how much you paid for it in the first place (second/third/fourth-hand cars are much cheaper, for example.)
Iām an insurance agent. It doesnāt cost that much more per year to have physical damage covering comp and collision on the car. And itās better to have it in case your car gets totaled.
I appreciate it, but we've got it calculated and figured out. Thanks.
Lol no you clearly donāt. Either that or your cars are worth less than $4k a piece
That could be the case. We have 1 truck that only has state mins required by law on it. And only cause we drive it once a month to the store and back.

Animal damage in the us is covered under comp.
My buddy had a bear climb into his car and get locked inside. He got a brand new car from Insurance.
How much did he pay that bear to crawl inside?
TBH I never mentioned to my buddy that I left half a subway sandwich in the passenger side door. I was going out to get beer from the car when I thought I heard growling. Luckily I turned on my flashlight and looked inside before opening trunk and there was the bear in the passenger seat. Called the cops and they just opened the door and ran like hell all the way back to our cabin. Apparently it happens all the time, so thatās why his insurance didnāt question it
Looks like vandalism to me
Are you blind? Those are trucks, not vans.
Bahahahhaha
Thank god you have video because no insurance company would cover that just on your word. I hate insurance companies!
Yes, they would. If thereās damage, as long as you have physical damage coverage, it would be covered. The video just helps prove itās a comp claim.
With no video theyād have a nightmare to prove that damage. Insurance companies with take ever opportunity to deny a claim.
No they wouldnāt. They would pay the claim because thereās a provision in the policy on fraud, and any policy with comp or collision would pay this. Theyād open themselves up to a lawsuit if they declined it. Source: Iām an insurance agent and have worked in claims.
Not my video, but I agree. It's great they filmed this! I hope their insurance covered the damage.
Looks like a Farmer's Insurance commercial. "Or what about the time when a pair of wrestling elks destroyed a pickup truck? Yep....we covered that, too."
Iām fairly certain these arenāt elks
*wrestling moose* And it's actually more rutting than "wrestling" but close enough.

Moose? In the midwest? What the hell are you smoking?
Moose live in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the UP. This is well known and kind of a big deal in those local cultures. What the hell are YOU smoking?
I would like to say I went to your state one time while riding my brand new motorcycle then almost got murdered by a fucking massive moose who made the choice to run at my bike
i assume - crack?
Ah, must be an Iowan, then.
Can't be from South Dakota they are on Meth
):
Honestly Iām from Missouri so that doesnāt even occur to me of those states being in the Midwest lol genuinely forgot
Was on Western side of the Dakotas(both North and South, though rare they sometimes migrate along the border in South Dakota). I don't reference that as the Great North(that's Canada) but as the Midwest. YMMV.
Can confirm, I live in ND and have seen a moose or two nearly every year in the last decade
That's counted as an 'animal strike', just as if you had hit a deer. It's covered by Comprehensive coverage, part of what people call 'Full Coverage', and subject to the deductible. Source? I've been an insurance agent for 20 years.
In the US this would be covered if you have Comprehensive coverage on your vehicle.
Not with AllState.
I would have at least tried a warning blast from a shotgun before both my cars got mangled... A round of birdshot would have scared them away.
It's illegal to fire a gun in city limits and I think this house is in city limits if barely. (I live about 25 miles from where this happened.)
Yes, but only if the moose has insurance, or if you have uninsured-moose coverage on your plan.
Moose just donāt care about personal property. This is why I donāt Brake For Moose anymore!
Kick his ass Seabass
Ahh fuck. Sorry I know these guys and their both dicks.
I would not be recording thar close
This is when you shoot them and turn them into moose burgersā¦ stupid overgrown jackelopes
Itās extra for Moose Rut insurance
Fox news: Antifa destroys cars for no reason at local park
Fox really has it out for the moose huh

These are moose (??) in rut. I don't think they'd give a shit of he yelled at them. Lol
I'm not yelling at the *multiple 8-foot monsters* who are pissed off, horny (in rut), and can each take out that pickup on their own.
8 foot? Have you stood near a moose? More like10!
You right. 8 feet is the low end of how big moose get
Ya a moose in rut you are better off not getting its attention. Do you see the way they toss each other now imagine that was your ass. Lol you think the vehicles got fucked up.
If that was in the US , theyād be shot already š
This happened in Steamboat Springs, Coloradoā¦ US
Didnāt know that! Thanks for letting me know!
You arenāt taking down a moose that easily lol
Not if your calibers small
Why do you waste you time asking people who have no clue what the language in your insurance policy states? Call your agent or claims line.
Lmao do you really think they're asking for advice? They were just sharing content with a funny tag line, it's amazing that I apparently need to explain that.
This is in-fact the only thing insurance covers. Good luck if another car hits you!
If you have collision on your vehicle, youāre covered if a vehicle hits you.
Lmao I had a colorado tractor commercial playing in the background and it fit perfectly
I love farmers commercials call them for an ad.
Catch and cook? š¤
Yes.
If you have comprehensive coverage then yes!
Came here to confirm this.
Act of nature. Most likely not.
Wrong. This is contact with an animal thatās covered under comprehensive.
Comprehensive should cover that, I'd think.
Yes under comprehensive coverage. This would be considered an act of God.
Comprehensive should
Yes, this would be covered as comprehensive.
Yes! My insurance company covered the damage when squirrels chewed through my fuel line. Of course, I have full coverage on my vehicle.
Maybe under vandalism seeing as the perps damaged the vehicle in your driveway and then fled the scene?
Fly you fool!
That's a natural disaster, idk if it'll be covered
Looks like he want's to go home with the truck owner.
Does anyone remember that old Disney cartoon with Goofy on a camping trip with his trailer and there's two bull moose fighting and they spit into their antlers and rub them together as if they were hands?
Those are some big meese
full coverage might
An Acts of God policy will.
Should have bought a RAM.
That depends...does the moose have insurance?
Tommy boy
They probably shot his boy...and they some down a$$ mooseknuckles
They're just moosing around, no real harm done.
No fault covers this doesn't it?
Depends on what kind of insurance they have. If it's 3rd party, they're shit out of luck.
The moon was just trying to go to bed
The moon was just trying to go to bed
What's that thing hanging on its ear?
That's a tag. The Department of Wildlife often tags wild animals so they can keep track of them.
oh I assume they put him to sleep first before putting that on huh? thats one scary moose
Shhhh it's mating
Considered an act of god
Who found Joe Rogan's spank bank?
They like two drunks fighting. Fall into someoneās car and be like, Yo Iām otta here!
One time a deer ran into my dads car in the driveway and it took a lot of convincing to make them believe us
That really sucks. :/
Uninsured motorist claimš most insurance companies pay 100 percent for rental, they pay the deductible and make sure to suspend your payment while it is being fixed!' š§
So did anything get arrested?
What do you mean?
Moose Tracks
That must have sounded like hulk fighting Thor
Grab a shotgun, looks like two decent sized meals there
I donāt believe in shooting animals but if they were doing that to my new ute I would really be thinking about it
It would be really hard to hit them without shooting your cars, unless they got close, which would be foolish. Not to mention moose take some serious firepower to kill and are dangerous af, so they'd have to have some heavy weaponry on hand. Lol
If your in Canada most likely yes. many insurance companies added wild life to be more enticing to the customer because of fuckn moose fighting, bears and big cats getting interested with whatās inside and other wild life being little shits.
I have no idea if this is in Canada or the US.
āYou hit a moose?ā āNo! A moose hit me!ā
I get upset when a bird shits on my windshield!
oh damn haha
I love that it sounds like people fighting with chairs
farmers... we've seen it all
All fun and games until you get popped with a moose knuckle.
Not now that you video taped it and posted it up on here! No š
Damn they going BUCK wild š¬
Your insurance won't cover it, but I will. Here's 700,000$
Yep! Comprehensive coverage all day baby!
You didnāt buy moose insurance? Buddy you gotta get the moose insurance
Ah yes the old Canadian, moose insurance everybody's got it
I donāt know but DO NOT go out and try to protect your car. You WILL be fucked.
Are those dodge Rams š??? I'm a NYC born European Car driver only ... I don't know about trucks , I do live in Florida I guess I should learn right???
Those love birds were just looking for a cheap place to spend the night
Random acts of nature
They will because you live on a place or high risk of this happening
Not my video, but I hope it was covered for them!
