Unfortunately didn't weigh that big boy as it went home with the client. This last season was made harder as we had to take neck meat and ribs. Just offal, shot damaged meat and spine left for the preds and crows.

I agree. Surprising how good eating they are, especially considering they're rutting bulls.
I enjoy all the game meat I have tried but if had to live on only one, it would be moose. Especially the liver. Yum.
I have had some chewy stuff but flavour has been really good.
Makes you wonder what a younger animal would go like.

We actually weigh them to balance out the horses before longer trips. We just subtly mentioned we had weighed them.
I'd agree if I could only have one moose rates pretty highly. Before I tried it I figured that fallow sika is good red not quite as good, sambar is tasty but chewy. That by the time you get to moose size itd be pretty chewy and gamey but not so. Very mild and tasty.
We also had to take the ribs etc. For alot we just took the meat from between to make burger as the high velocity 30 calibres where making alot of blood meat in the ribs under the shoulder. But did a few racks over the fire that weren't to bad.
@Dicko those whitetail don't eat bad either.
