I spent the summer of 1973 up in the wilderness of Canada living and working with a big game guide. Lived in a log cabin with his girlfriend, a real mountain man.
We ate moose meat every day. Now, you whack a moose you got about 400 pounds of meat to deal with. These guys were off the grid to say the least.
They canned the moose meat. They had a root cellar dug down into the ground and they had many, many quarts of that canned moose meat. And that damn meat was just delicious!
