Changed the title a bit, got good info on places to go, thanks again guys! Question, after trying to eat my 8 year old bull moose a couple years ago, and talking w a good friend about his big cow moose he killed. We were both not impressed w the meat, so my question, is there any ethical arguments about shooting a 1-2 year old cow? I want the wife to shoot a young moose so we have a better chance at good meat. Thoughts?did you have any of it cubed? I have found on old mature bull elk it needs to be put through the cuber 2-3 times and you have some nice tender steaks!

I didn’t, but I should have. The burger was great though, I only add 5% fat so it’s brittle but taste good.Changed the title a bit, got good info on places to go, thanks again guys!

With that said, I’ve shot two bull moose and both were tough. One was a young bull and the other was a big boy. They both taste delicious and preparation was the key to making them edible. Cubed is a great way to go. Canned is an even better way to go. We made a lot of jerky too which is amazing. Hamburger and stew meat is always a show stopper as well. Not a fan of huge roast unless you brine and smoke….to make lunch meat like pastrami.
Point being….Big moose taste great too. If I had that tag, the size wouldn’t matter near as much as it’s location in respect to the road. Above the road….it dies.

Made Moose Parmesan the other night and ran it through a small hand crank cuber and it was very tasty and pretty tender.

Nice job to you and your wife Trophyhunt. Your son in law's remorse is very commendable. To this day I always feel a little remorse after a harvest. But its bitter sweet type remorse. Its a good thing I think.I agree, I was very pleased to hear him admit that. The older I get, the more the killing part means to me. I love the hunt more than ever, when I was younger the killing part didn't even enter my mind. I've always said a prayer for the animal, but now it means more. I was proud of him for sure, and I let him know that that's what makes a good responsible hunter. Hunters care way more about these animals than any anti hunter.

Again, Congrats man!I thought so, figured you were talking about Pete. Are you getting a chance to go with him???? Maybe if you, Leroy and I put in as partners the system would crash!!lol. Someday I'll wise up and put in with the wife!! Good to hear from you, tell all the guys I said hello!

Who said cow moose hunting was boring!!! Holy crap, sometimes there is a horny bull with the cow you shoot that isn’t very happy w you!! That was crazy! My son in law shot his first animal ever, a big cow moose this morning. We went up to get her and didn’t even notice in the thick stuff that a 4-5 year old bull was 10’ away from us and pissed! He chased us off the mountain in a frenzy! Holy crap that was fun! The bull never left her side, we were kinda stuck, even after shooting he wouldn’t budge. Luckily we found some guys who were helping a blind guy that had a bull tag! Perfect scenario! After about 2 hours, he made it to where we were, shot the bull at 25 yards and the work begun!!! So cool! One more cow to kill! Seen 5 moose today alone, 3 cows two bulls.
Exciting stuff!
