tough moose
I neck shot a bull moose a few years ago and killed it instantly.Since it was in an easily accessible area we quickly winched it into the truck and drove it back to a buddys farm, where we picked it up with the tractor to gut and skin it. It was probably an hour in total.When we got the meat back from the butchers it was unbelievably tough. There was no problem with the taste as far as being gamy but a coyote would dull his teeth chewing that critter. I finally thawed out my portion and ground it into hambuger.That was the first and only time that I have not field dressed an animal immediatley following it being killed although I am not sure what caused it I am not taking any chances.
