VP Selection Increases Interest In Moose
September 21, 2008
I don’t get into politics much on the blog but Governor Palin’s selection has increased the opportunity to talk about moose. I get questions about moose hunting and the taste of moose on a regular basis now. Most of the questions come from my non hunting friends who have become fascinated with moose since Governor Palin is a fellow moose hunter.
Moose is the best tasting game meat I’ve ever eaten similar to the finest cut of beef. Where can you get some moose meat? I’m out killed my last one 3 years ago in Maine and I was not lucky enough to get drawn. If you want to hunt moose there are a number of places to hunt them in northern US states as well as Canada. Maine has a high hunter success rate but getting a tag is the hard part. Alaska is a beautiful state (while I’ve never hunted I have visited it) moose tags are over the counter and today’s Anchorage Daily News pegs hunter success rate at 34%.
What’s it like to field dress a moose? It tends to be a messy job just ask my friend Billy.
What a refreshing change to have a real hunter in the race. The 2nd Amendment is extremely important to me and with Obama’s views on guns it will be a cold day in a very warm place (further south then Florida) before I cast a vote for him. I guess I’m just bitter and clinging to my guns or just call me “Moose Hunter for Palin”
