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.
No plant material/browse I see in moose
Stuff though??

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

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. 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 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.
