OK, since I'm the OP, I think wild turkey sucks, end of wild turkey discussion..........love shooting them though. 3 with one shot is my personal best.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I rate moose about near the top, slightly better than Elk, which is a lot better than venison. This...I fondly remember FRESH Moose tenderloins..grilled .. In AK...after 2 weeks in the bush eating freeeze dried @$$%.. ...1989... Most likely the finest protein I have ever savored.... Elk is a close second...

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Its worth what you paid...
And I've not had them all but have eaten enough of each I list to like my list. I have never been to Africa or eaten African game.
Dall Sheep Moose Elk/Nilgai Axis
I'm not sure I wouldn't flip the last two, pretty close...
I'll never turn down moose. One of the few I've never had anyone say a single bad thing about even if its straight hamburger... which is often the way we eat it.

Think I posted these recipes last year but I'll do it again. Turkey & Wild Rice Soup Particular parts of the turkey used for a batch are one each leg, thigh and wing along with half whatever trimmings can be had from the back. Ingredients as follows:
Wild turkey as stated, with leg and thigh cut to the bone in multiple places to speed cooking. 1 cup each of the following: Fresh sliced carrots, Fresh sliced celery, Frozen English peas, Frozen whole kernel corn, Dry wild rice or blend.
Half a small to medium sweet onion, chopped, Half a head of garlic smashed, bashed, or chopped Half teaspoon +/- of black pepper as desired, 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of salt also as desired, 2 or 3 large bay leaves, a tablespoon or two of Worcestershire.
Place turkey pieces in a large pot with lid and cover well with water. Add bay leaves along with some powdered garlic for aroma. I like to add a good surface sprinkle of meat tenderizer at this point to aid in separating meat from bone as later required. Cook at an energetic simmer for around 4 hours. Additional water will need to be added to keep meat submerged as it cooks. After allotted cooking time remove turkey from pot and set aside to cool. Add wild rice and an additional 2 cups water to stock along with the prepared garlic, salt, and black pepper. The wild rice blend I used called for a cooking time of 45 minutes. I set my timer for 30. While rice cooks and after meat cools a bit, remove meat from bones, tendons, and excess connective tissue, and cut into desired sized pieces. After 30 minutes cook time for the rice add celery and onion and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Add carrots and simmer an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Add de-boned meat and whatever additional water is needed for desired broth level and bring to roiling boil for a minute or two. Add peas, corn, and Worcestershire, stir, and remove from heat. Sample the broth and add seasoning if desired. Replace cover and let stand 10 minutes or so if you can. It's now ready to eat and will thicken just a bit as it stands.
Dad’s Chicken Soup “To heal the sick, strengthen the weak and fortify the strong.”
1 chicken cut into pieces easy to boil. Remove skin but leave some fat. 2 cups sliced carrots 2 cups sliced celery 2 cups frozen English peas 1 cup corn 1 small/medium onion diced or sliced 1 head of garlic crushed or equivalent 8 oz. egg noodles 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 ½ tablespoon salt 3 large bay leaves maybe more Place chicken pieces and bay leaves in strainer tub of large spaghetti pot and cover well with water. Sprinkle with garlic powder or add some crushed garlic for aroma. Cook about 35 minutes or until fork tender. Remove strainer tub with chicken and set aside to cool. Make sure bay leaves are left in the broth. When chicken cools debone and cut meat into desired size. Add onion and remainder of garlic to broth, bring to boil and cook 5 to 10 minutes. Add carrots and celery to broth, bring to low boil and cook 5 minutes. Add noodles and cook 8 minutes. Add chicken, peas and corn, add water to fill remainder of pot, return to boil and turn off heat. Let sit half an hour or so if you can. Enjoy and share with the love of Jesus.
If you're sick with some kind of kroop that keeps you snorting and coughing and just feeling bad, chicken soup is one of the best feel good foods I can think of. In this recipe just substitute plus or minus pound for pound the turkey parts and chicken. Daughter has always called it Dad's chicken soup thus the name. Good eatin' to all y'all.

Bull moose in late rut can be gamey, especially when its an older bull. I love moose and always have. There is alot of meat on a moose so once he is face down your stuck eating him for months. Thats why I tend to pass on big old gnarley bulls. But a young bull or cow thats killed quickly is second only to caribou in my opinion.
