Taking a couple days off from trying to take a doe, as one of my neighbor's friends was drawn for a moose tag for this WMU, and is hunting on my land and the neighbors land for the next 4 days.
I saw a nice bull a couple of weeks ago just a half mile down the road from my homestead. He was probably around a 40" bull. Not huge, but looked to be a shooter.
If all goes well, I should be the benefactor of a nice box of moose!!! YES!!
I love moose meat. The taste is like a cross between beef and deer. Very lean though.
You betcha!!
I've also a couple of friends that were drawn for a moose hunt in the Northeast Kingdom. It's a remote rugged area in the NE corner of the state.
These freakin nuts are hunting with recurves for the first few days, then going to rifle after that, if they have'nt bagged one yet. These guys are wicked good woodsmen, and I expect to be helping them cut the moose next week.
So, I've got two chances at swamp donkey meat. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Hey Carl,
Like your phrase swamp doney. Got to tell you I just came back from China (Harbin and Bejing). They served me freaking doney. I toured a slaughter facility there and you would not believe it. North America has NEVER had such poor sanitation (I mean including 1604 at Jamestown). Saw dogs skinned and plied on the floor along with everything else you could imagine that was edible. The floor was slick with blood, fat, and mud from the boots. Moose has got to be better than doney. Donkey is stingy but tastes like horse. Say hi to St.J.
