I got to eat Bison Burgers about 30yrs ago when I went to Ok. to visit my brother that was stationed there. I had Elk as well for the first time. I loved the Bison burgers, I liked the Elk steaks better than deer. I liked Moose better than all of them. I like my deer meat regardless, it’s been a staple in our diet since we were able to eat solid food.On a side note...I have tried Elk burger vs Bison burger vs Deer (venison) burger. My favorite is Bison burger, at least the last I ate. I have had some Bison burger that tasted like where the tail begins...Elk didn't impress me, Deer is OK if mixed in with Beef burger. Just my opinion and taste buds!
Never had Elk steak or Bison steak. I do like Deer steak an of course tenderloin!
Great post. I love heading out miles into the woods or swamp in my younger days, but we all enjoy shooting critters out the back door or off the porch, when the op presents itself. Fortunately, for most of my life, I’ve been able to do just that. I’ve even lived in a small house right on a river, in a beautiful cove & id cast my line from my back patio & pass the pole thru the side window next to the big bay window & watch TNN or OLN & fish from my couch in my living room. Now that’s redneck lovin life.This is not a question. Yes, both, absolutely. Not sure what could be ho-hum about it. I understand it's more rewarding to strike out into the great unknown wilderness to hunt, but I'm not above tagging something from the back porch, if need be. I figure I've trekked the mountains enough miles that I've earned the adventure already. If I can back the truck up to it now, I'm okay with that.
I love your outlook & mentality. Congrats on retiring & good luck on your first Elk hunt. I got to go on an Elk hunt while visiting Ok., but I couldn't carry a gun. I was still incredible to go with my youngest brother when he was stationed there. It was my first time seeing Elk & Bison in the wild as well as wild Tx Longhorn cows. Man, ya talk about some ornery critters right there, they ain't no joke with their attitude. I got to go on a cpl Rio Turkey hunts as well out there.Meat is meat and a fella's got to eat. Get 'em both and if ya need help, let me know and I'll jump in the Ranger and come help. I'm retiring at the end of the month and am an elk virgin. I've never hunted them, but will spend 3 months in Colorado flinging arrows at one until I connect.
I love the practical joking with the tracks. I’m a big joker/prankster myself.My old hunting partner was a meat cutter. He taught me how to take a critter apart using only knives. The legs will pop off right at the joint if you cut the tendon, bend the joint backwards until it pops, insert a filet or boning knife into the front of the joint, wiggle the tip around a bit, and then break it sideways. This leaves a nice clean end that will not cut a game bag and the tendon is still attached allowing the use of a meat hook for hanging.
I have used this method for taking apart deer to moose. The bigger the critter the more force necessary to pop the joint, but it works well.
I like to save one leg so that if I spot a friend's truck parked, I can make tracks around it while he is off hunting.
