A few of my buddies are up at the duck club in Saskatchewan this week. The moose season is in and they spotted antlers in a pickup:

Moose is the best eating big game I�ve had. Better than elk, deer or caribou, at least to my taste buds. Tastes more like lean beef to me.

Properly cared for after the shot, nothing compares to moose meat.

Stopped for a beer and watched the Oilers get beat by the �Hawks.
Pick-up aged. Mmm mmmm.

I much prefer elk. Moose is bland and chewy by comparison.

I'll take moose every time over elk. Moose is top drawer to me, and not bland at all. Could be a bit chewy depending on the moose. But then can elk.

["Pick-up aged. Mmm mmmm."] Lonesome

I recognise where the pickup is parked. I'd guess the meat is headed just up the road to the abattoir for ageing and processing...Geo

Someone will need to be hungry this winter to eat up all that meat!

Moose is good, elk and deer are ok, but none of it comes anywhere close to Prime Black Angus Beef. A prime Angus NY Strip is difficult to beat....but, just imho. PS, if there was a season on Angus, I might be a big game hunter instead of a bird hunter. ;-))

I'll take the opportunity to feast upon doves or ducks, properly prepared, over beef any day. Beef is good, but it is common. I have to restrain myself when offered the opportunity to fill myself with dove or duck. With beef, as much as I enjoy it, its not much of a struggle to restrain myself.

One other point. Here, a couple of nice ribeyes will set you back $16 or better at the meat counter. When I subtract the enjoyment of taking the limit of doves and/or ducks, the meat is free.

Not arguing with you, buzz. Just my perspective.

Best, SRH

Hehe, no problem Stan. What�s your recipe for dove and duck??? In terms of wild birds, I�d just about rather eat anything but dove, and ducks don�t do much for me either. Now, ruffed grouse and quail, well that�s a different matter.
