Huh, must have some spooky moose up there. I guess they wouldn't get that obscenely big if they weren't. When I lived in Wyoming, I was always more worried about walking right up on them and getting stomped than not finding them when I wanted to. We actually used to smoke while hunting to camouflage the scent of our BO.
Yeah its contradictory in Alaska. Near town where moose are tame you do your best to avoid them, as they will stomp and kill your ass the moment you get too close. But wild moose have ears like satellite dishes and a nose that can smell for miles, and are shockingly silent in the woods for a huge animal. You almost never hear them before you see them. It’s all you can do to not get “busted”. At the first sign of unknown movement, smell, or sound, they are GONE.Huh, must have some spooky moose up there.

How’s the liver? I’ve always heard that moose meat is awesome, but I’ve never heard anything about the liver. I love chicken liver, but can’t stand beef liver.
Moose liver is decent on its own, but makes excellent braunschweiger or liverwurst. It is exceptionally good if made with some heart mixed in. However moose heart is CRAZY GOOD on its own. Cut into strips and fried, or thicker strips and grilled, or in the slow cooker heart is amazing. Its always a tough choice whether to throw it into the schweig with liver or cook it on its own.
Actually, @BROBS and I have had quite a few very respectful conversations on the subjects of both hunting and veganism (and more). It’s amazing how much more enjoyable controversial topics can be when you approach them with an attitude of trying to understand the other person’s viewpoint rather than trying to MAKE them understand yours.I'm just waiting for Brobs to chime in with one of his pearls of wisdom

adorable as always. It's so hard not to take a few home.
Good size Bucks in Michigan range from 140ish on small side up to 200 ish for bruisers. Thats gutted hanging weight. Usually get somewhere around half or slightly more of that in useable meat.
