JG...but go with an outfitter that someone recommends, that has hunted with them recently. Lots of Them promise everything and then under deliver--well you know that! The guy I hunted with is full-up for the next two years. There is a reason for that.

Too cool Whelen Nut. I've really gotten the bug to do a moose hunt, but can't decide whether to do the Canada or Newfoundland thing. I do know I'm not spending $15k+ to go to Yukon. So, the meat is as good as they say? Did you take those Torics? Congrats....great pics. LOL, all 3 of those options are the Canada thing  Ha........I guess you're right.......oops!
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

BTW, yes, the meat is most definitely as good as they say. To my taste buds it's better than elk and black bear, and at least as good as BH sheep...

Yep, moose is right near the top when it comes to eating. Blacktailed deer might be a tad better but it's very close.

Nice moose there WN. I can't believe you didn't use the Whelen for that. I'd give up all other hunting for moose and grouse.
Moose is my favourite red meat. I find that Yukon moose has a bit stronger flavor than the moose we have here in the east but both are fine eating.

Well done. Moose meat is the best Big pot of Moose Chilli this weekend. Last weekend it was Moose vegetable soup.

It was a meat hunt not a wilderness hunt but it was fun. Lot of hiking, glassing, cruising to glass open areas and a little boating on lakes. First class folks. JoelBlitz did a goat hunt with them a couple of weeks before I went Moose hunting and had a great hunt as well.

It's been too many years since I've had moose meat, but I remember liking it. I do know I love elk and black bear. I need to give Newfoundland another try.

I've been chewing on a lot of that moose the last couple of weeks and much prefer it to deer and elk. I like black bear almost as well BUT bear meat causes gout flare-ups for me. Moose doesn't do that which is a very good thing!
