It's denser and richer than venison, bit fattier as well but much leaner than beef.......

It can be horribly gamey.....but I dont care about prime antlers and these were harvested 2 months before the rutt, they were all quick humane harvests and I had excellent butchering help in the field. The meat is all wonderful!

Wow would love some of that, In 1980 while in the military in Alaska,we killed 4 caribou,thought about doing it like deer, wow wrong wrong, so gamy could not eat it,endedup carrying it to a processor and made link sausage and summer sausage, and that was great with cheese and crackers, when single and living inthe barracks, the people i hunted with from church always kept our meat, fish,tarmagan,grouse,Wish i could go back up there dont eat so much you get sick

Any hunter keeps and uses the meat.....or they are just a sport killer. You make it back up and I'll stuff ya full of good eats! Gunther and I are going rabbit and bird hunting after school tomarow. Kinda hopin for enough to do ptarmigan poppers!!!

Butterfly breast fillets and salt and pepper to taste. Center a jalapeno half stuffed with mozzarella cheese on the breast, roll and wrap with bacon. Dip the whole beautiful mess in beer batter and deep fry till golden brown....OH man!!!!! Yes I do make my own bacon as well.....my favorite non pork bacon? Beaver tail!!!!!

Can you make a pen out of that?

If I can make one out of moose turds I can make one out of about anything!

Do you happen to have pictures of the turd pen? I think that is awesome! I was in the gift store at the zoo and saw "Elephant Poo Paper" but I couldn't talk my wife into allowing me to purchase some to make into a pen. But who has an Elephant Poo Paper Pen? Apparently you have a moose turd pen, which is probably even better!

He sent me a pair of xxxl pantyhouse......ya "just my size", how many 6'4" 210 pound women are there? So I sent him a box of cat poo.....things have escilated from there! I'll post a pic of it. Honestly though you cant tell it from the sheep poo pen someone else turned.

You folks who want to cast this instead of eating it.....GET HELP!!!! Wow pens are great and all but......

Caribou meat

Take it from me...caribou, when killed at the right time of the year is excellent...I like it better than Moose...but Moose runs a very close second.

Mike.......dont forget no sun for weeks to months depending on where you live and LOTS of time with temps well bellow zero. The average stay for a new comer in Alaska is 5 years. I have lost so many freinds over the years that I really only hang with folks who have been here at least a decade. Dont get me wrong I like helping out new folks but I don't get too close.

The best thing about moving here.......this time you pick your family! My circle of friends here is tighter than any family I have seen and all Alaskans jump in when one of us is in need. Towin folks is seen as a responsibility if you have the truck to do it......even folks who dont at least try. This place can kill you.

Please do consider it. I don't have a huge chunk of land but my place butts up to several thousand square miles of public lands. We had 20 of Tracys family stay with us for a reunion/recomitment cerimony.....it wasn't at all bad.

Yup! And it's one of only two other states I would live in. I do miss it!! And we still have real family up there.
