Quote, paraphrase, and citation #3

Moose breeding season occurs in September and October. During this time both male and female moose will call to each other. Males produce heavy grunting sounds that can be heard from up to 500 metres away while females produce a wail-like sound. Males will fight for access to females. The larger moose generally wins and the smaller moose retreats. They may engage in battles that can turn quite violent.

When breeding (reproduction) season for Moose comes around, it's not that pretty.  This season occurs in  September and October, so it's not that warm like other animals breeding months.  The male and female Moose begin to call each other with certain noises:  Male-Heavy grunting sounds that can be heard from about 500 meters away, and Female-A wailing sound.  The males will literally fight in a battle over the female Moose, the larger Moose usually will win the female.
