Here, too, as long as they're the red vermin. The gray ones are large enough and tasty enough to make it worth while hunting them if you are hungry.Pythagorean said:

They are a northern heavy-bodied class of elk. As I recall, you really like to eat elk. As a kid, I ate a lot of moose, even though hunting them was illegal. My uncles, grand-uncles, etc, weren't all that observant of the game laws, as long as we had meat all winter.Evo said:Meese killers.

No, never had elk, just deer. And deer that died naturally of old age in the deer retirement castle. All of the meat I eat comes from animals that died of natural causes, in their sleep. Don't you dare tell me no.turbo said:

Improperly-cooked moose meat is like all other improperly-cooked meat. I have had boiled dinners made with moose roast meats that would make "chief of state" dinners. And quick-fried moose tenderloin with sauteed potato and onions would make most ladies swoon.lisab said:

My Dad and hunting buddies went to Canada, early 70's, scored two cows with permit, the trailer they tried hauling back the meat with kept getting flats, too much weight, they traded meat for flat repairs and eventually replacement tires, and if I remember correctly, even a bigger trailer. True story. I had moose steak to prove it, not bad in marinade on the grill. You better have a four wheeler, or a real strong back, field dressing a hind quarter can easily weigh over 150 - 200 lbs, lug that too far and you are toast too. God forbid you have to yank the carcass out of a stream, I believe one of the moose they shot had to be retrieved this way, not fun either.Pythagorean said:

, my Dad has had to track both moose and deer in water before, once a doe in a fast moving stream in winter, he dam near got hypothermia in the process. Thank God he was close to a vehicle when he could get warm and shed wet clothes/gear.And did they live out their lives being entertained by Del's circus mouse? Boss Percy bad. He mean. He stepped on Del's mouse. I took it back though.Evo said:

The best time for moose hunting is during "moose season," which typically runs from late September to early October. This is when moose are most active and their meat is at its best quality.
To prepare for moose season, you should make sure you have all the necessary gear, such as a rifle, ammunition, and hunting tags. You should also familiarize yourself with the area you will be hunting in and practice shooting your rifle to ensure accuracy.
Sighting in a .270 rifle for moose hunting is important to ensure accuracy and a clean kill. It is recommended to sight in your rifle at a distance of 100 yards, using a high-quality scope and ammunition. It is also important to practice shooting from different positions, such as standing, kneeling, and prone.
Hunting moose during the winter can be challenging, but there are some tips that can increase your chances of success. First, focus on areas with high moose populations and good food sources. Use calls and scents to attract moose, and be patient and persistent. Additionally, dress warmly and use proper gear to stay safe and comfortable in cold temperatures.
After a successful moose hunt, it is important to properly handle and store the meat to ensure its freshness and safety. Immediately after the kill, field dress the moose and cool the meat down. Once you have transported the meat home, it can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to a week or frozen for longer storage. It is also recommended to have the meat processed by a professional butcher to ensure it is properly prepared for consumption.
