[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1819097, member: 26227"] Desert Ed, I will as gentle as possible😄Yes, Elk and Moose are sweeter than deer. there are some things about deer hunters that irritate me to no end when it comes to meat processing and hunting in general. they think that they can leave a deer on the ground for hours and the meat will not go sour. it takes 5 to 10 minutes for the bladder to start letting uric acid to spill back into the meat and this makes a taste that I am sure you would never want to taste. I think that is why you do not like Venison. as for Elk, yes, its a big deer and it tastes wonderful. yes, you are probably not going to dive right in. I would say if you are squeamish then start with trout and processing your trout, if you like to eat fish. I love trout. fresh caught trout. Here in Northern Nevada we have some of the best cold water streams from out of the east side of the SierraNevada mountains. one in particular really makes for wonderful trout(rainbow) . up farther in the mountains we have "Cut-Bow" trout, and some cut throat, and I am told tiger trout roam the waters up farther than I have been in the east side of Lake Tahoe's rivers. I have been processing fish, ducks, geese, venison, cotton tail, and elk most of my life. it took me a while to go from fish and small creatures to Deer and Elk. For me it was a confidence and ignorance of how to do it. I had to have a friend help/guide me through it. I made mistakes and I made errors. After a few times I was comfortable processing bigger game. My suggestion is your go out with a friend that processes his own, hunt with him for a couple of years and more than a few Elk harvests. assist him, have him instruct you how to go from the first incision to the final boning and quartering. I hope the best for you in your quest for Elk and maybe if you get good results with deer, you might want to take some deer and have that. you can process a deer or elk all corrrectly but too late and the meat will be taste off.
