I know everybody involved was quite disappointed (I shared it equally with two of my helpers) as we'd also heard about how good moose should be. It was a younger cow (with a calf), the kill was very clean (head shot), and it didn't seem to be excited in any way before the shot. The hide was gorgeous (I donated it to a local fly shop to have it turned into fly-tying materials), and field cleaning it was a memorable experience (large in every dimension!). I don't know what I did wrong but...it wasn't great to eat. I know that the Shiras(?) animals are different from the Alaskan variants, perhaps that is why?
