Because Buck wanted some meat to eat. Initially he shot the moose because moose are game animals and good for eating, but then the bear came and raided Buck's storage supply of moose meat. So Buck had to hunt the bear down so it wouldn't come back and raid his food supply again. And of course, bear meat is also good to eat, even though it's a little tougher and stringer to chew on.

Can a polar bear kill a moose?
It is highly unlike that a polar bear would even get a chance to kill a moose because these animals live in two entirely different biomes. You would not see a polar bear in the boreal or transition-boreal forests, nor would you find a moose in the arctic near the coastline. For that reason, no a polar bear would not nor could not kill a moose. However, as far as human-ability to be very imaginative, it is likely that a polar bear could kill a moose.

How many grizzlies would it take to kill a moose?
One attacking grizzly bear is enough to kill a moose, but those large set of antlers are good at killing a bear. The moose would do whatever to fight off the grizzly bear with antlers, hooves, and muscles on the head to fight. But since grizzly bears are so large and have deadly claws, the moose would suffer fatal injuries on its head and the antlers as well. A powerful swipe of a grizzly bear's paw can break a moose's antler or even a bull. the grizzly bear's huge jaws with sharp enough teeth can kill a moose easily.

Who would win grizzly or moose?
The polar bear might have a chance to win because it can tear up the moose. With its strength and size advantage, a polar bear could break a moose's head with one swipe of its claws and a shatter of its horns with paws too. However, a moose would often run off from the polar bear unless if it got cornered. If that happens, the moose would try to kill the polar bear with its antlers, but the polar bear would kill it first.Probably the polar bear because when the moose tries hitting it with antlers, the polar bear would swipe its head to death.Another AnswerThe polar bear would most likely win this fight. A moose has those antlers that are strong enough to knock down a lion or a black bear with them if contacted at them. But a polar bear has those strengths and power with its claws to blow down the moose's head before the moose had a good chance to gore the polar bear to death. However, a polar bear can even kill and take down a musk ox without getting badly injured because a polar bear's size plus strength is good enough to kill such animals. A grizzly bear might also have a chance to kill a moose because the grizzly bear has been known to attack adult bull moose and kill them with their strength of claws. If a polar bear fight a moose, the polar bear would end up having a good prey to eat.
