Tangy hint of sweetness. Didn't smell too bad either.

Interesting. I've kinda wondered that as there are moose droppings all over the area.

Stuff though??

Probably just bigfoot. They're pretty common around there.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I would expect some fur or huckleberrys this time of year in 49.

I didn't dig through all of it, but there were no visible berries/seeds/hair, no roughage that is typical of moose/elk.  Nothing but smooth consistent texture. Within 1/2 mile there was the remains of a consumed cow moose, but not fresh.
