moose eater

We've had an older cow that damned near ate like good beef. Tender and tasty, with minimal gaminess. And we've had them in varying degrees of health that were a bit more gamey.Humm…. Stil sounds a bit gamey for me. Maybe a calf or whatever you call a baby moose would be worth a try. I grew up on venison but only liked doe meat. Momma did a good job tho killing the game taste with salt dials and the right seasoning when cooking it.
But they're really not bad at all. I love the stuff.
We prided ourselves in losing no meat, due to the way we handled our moose, even in warmer fall weather. I knew others who were not as thoughtful.
The first time I ate caribou, however, a fairly porous meat that can easily or readily absorb the flavors in the place it's hung (we rarely hang/age any wild game, by the way), someone had hung them in a walk-in veggie storage area (like a concrete root-cellar of sorts), and every steak or roast to be cut from those 3 'bou tasted like a musty, old, walk-in veggie cellar. Nearly caused me to avoid caribou for a LONG time afterward.
