I've been treed twice by meese and darn near shat myself when charged whilst in a canoe (I wish I had a video of that one as it would be hilarious to watch me trying desperately, and failing, to paddle backwards). I learned to not fuck with them. Moose get the same wide berth as griz.

It's pretty lean meat, but if you add some fat they make for some tasty tacos and chili.

But you didn't even try, right? Moose are known for their fair play and rigorous adherence to the code duello. You jumped right to chemical weapons.

In the Scandinavian countries, they still stick to 6.5x55mm for moose (elg, I think they are called). But they are smaller than moose in AK. .375 H&H would have gotten its attention if pressed.

I get my moose meat from my grandson. His wife did the Maine Grand Slam a year ago: Buck, Moose, Bear and a Tom Turkey. The moose dressed at over 800 pounds so lots of meat.
I think he said the ground moose had pork fat added to it due to the leanness.

I'm kinda glad we don't have mooses here in TX. I mean, mooses and a 85mph speed limit can't be a great combination. Plus, it gets hot here. I don't know if they can sweat or not, but it can't be pleasant to run across a mighty sweaty one. We've got some might big gals here, and I can tell you- they're not all that pleasant when they get all irritated, hot, and sweaty. And I doubt a moose would calm down if you threw a taco at it.
