venisonstrami, moosestramiand cariboustrami
I thawed out some of my game meat I collected last fall, 3 sirlion(football) venison roasts, one moose round roast and a caribou round roast, injected and into my brine solution for the next 10 days, then I'll coat them and smoke with cherry wood, cool, slice and package
top roast is the caribou, next is moose and the three on the bottom are whitetail
a gallon and a half of brine ready to inject then submerge the roasts

Sounds good. How much does a moose normally dress out? One of my old friends went to Alaska moose hunting. He had never seen one before. The guide dropped him off by plane about 50 miles from nowhere and they set up camp. He then hiked about 5 miles and found the "perfect spot". It was. He killed one and his friends almost hung him after they toted the meat back.
Hmm, I never shot a moose, but as a kid growing growing up around hunters and working in my fathers abattoir, i would say that if we hung a 1,000 lb. moose carcass in the cooler the world media would have descended on our liitle town. Most of the moose we processed dressed out at 350 to 500 lbs. I think one carcass was close to 600 and all the farmers came by to admire it.Big Guy wrote:they dress out around 1000 lbs, sort of like shooting one of your steers with long legs in a swamp, we cut it into 6 or 8 pieces and carry it to our ATV to get it out. It is lots of work
And if you can get a steer to "dress out around a 1,000 lbs", I'm sure you would be setting records. Are you sure you are not talking about live weight here?

The moose weighed approx 1200-1300 lbs live weight, he was a monster, field dressed is what I an estimating the weight to be. That is what you have to carry out of the bush, head, hide, hooves, everything except the guts. once you get to a place you can remove the head, hide and feet, the carcase is about 1/2 of the field dressed weight.

Big Guy, as always, it looks terrific. I've got a question though. I noticed that you didn't trim any silverskin. Any comments about this? Not being critical by any means... Just an observation... I'd like to get your input. Thanks pal.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
