Bull Moose use their antlers for fighting over cows in the mating season.
Male moose (bulls) are typically larger and have antlers, while female moose (cows) are generally smaller and do not have antlers. Bulls use their antlers for defending territory and during mating season. Bulls also tend to have a more prominent hump on their shoulders.
They charge, use their antlers to stab, and trample with their feet.
Male Moose use their antlers for stating dominance and for rutting (which is fighting.) Being dominant and winning a 'rut' is important for a moose as it highers their chance of getting a mate and passing their genes on to the next generation.
