Like many here, I've eaten lots of big game over the years. My personal favorites are axis deer, gemsbok, elk, misc. African antelope, antelope, nilgai. I'm really wanting to shoot a moose, and have found a Newfoundland outfitter that I like, and can get the meat back home to enjoy.
Question: Where does moose meat fit into the "best game meat" scenario?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Where does moose fit? Depends on who ya ask! Know a lady in Arizona that her and her boyfriend went to Northwest Territories and hunted Musk Ox. She said it was the hands down best meat she ever ate! I've always wondered what different meat tasted like and something I found out is it depends on how the meat is taken care of and cooked. I've had Moose ribs and don't care if I never see another, same with bear ribs! I think that handling the fresh meat and cooking it can make or break any meat. I recall stew an Aunt in Michigan made many years ago. Made it from deer and was some of the best meat I ever ate. First wife was the best cook I ever knew. She could work wonders with any game meat I brought home!

Question: Where does moose meat fit into the "best game meat" scenario? Dude! Moose ranks near the top! One of the few game animals taht the fat marbles. T-bones out of a moose are something special. For me, only Eland is a rival.

I rate moose about near the top, slightly better than Elk, which is a lot better than venison.

Time for the Alaska hands to chime in here. Dry (relatively anyway) land moose heap good. Swamp moose...potlatch to relatives and bad neighbors.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I've only had moose once and I thought it was fabulous; it was burger and I thought it was better than beef.

I am a huge fan of cow elk and I find moose to be just as good.
