No, seriously, in Alaska, alot of people live off of wild game: bear, moose, caribou, elk. So, I need to figure out how to prepare moose, as I have never made it before, but hunting season is starting, and a bull is on its way..

I would just love to be somewhere that I could hunt a moose. Maybe someday .

Uh - all you have to do is do a websearch for "moose recipes". Then you'll have more recipes than you'll probably have moose. I just typed in "moose recipes" & was inundated.

Why don't people do websearches? I'm truly puzzled.

[cmoore]

Yeah, thanks for all the help. People's rudeness reminds me of why I left the lower 48.

I can't help with moose recipes but as far as the responses we could all google anything and get the answer. The point of the forum is to have fellow members tell us their experiences, helpful hints, recipes. I am surprised at the unfriendly way you were treated.

Hi, cmoore. What is it you do in Alaska? Buck has always wanted to travel there. And what is the city you live in near? At least in terms of a city I might recognize.

Have you ever butchered a moose before? Is it in the same sort of species as deer or elk? I've worked with elk a little bit before, and you can find a ribeye cut in an elk that's very delicious. I imagine that a moose has a lot of fat on it- if it's well marbled meat I might simply grill the tender cuts. If it's more of a blubber on top of lean muscle sort of situation, the meat may be tougher. In that case you could probably render all that fat and confit the legs and other tough muscle.

being a city boy, i can only joke with you, cmoore (i hope your last name is not buttz )


but, would not moose be just like a giant deer? low in fat and gamey-ness depending on diet and age.

just so you don't get a bad opinion of us in the colonies, i'm gonna keep on bumping this thread until we get an answer. someone will come along who's moose is cooked!
