Moose

Due to their nomadic lifestyle and size, moose are exclusively hunted rather than raised in captivity. Since moose travel so much, the meat is generally considered tough with minimal fat. Moose meat is also darker in colour than beef or bison. In addition, moose has an undercurrent of floral flavour— since the species often eat willow buds as a significant food source. The varied diet of the moose causes the taste to be a little more unique and gamey than other large mammals.

The moose can be cut into similar pieces, including the shank, rib, chuck, sirloin, and brisket. The animal's skin, legs and hooves are inedible. Because the moose is so large — the average animal is 6 feet tall and weighs over 1,000 pounds — its meat can last a long time if stored correctly. It is illegal to sell moose meat in the United States, but it can be legally sold in countries like Finland, Russia, Canada and Sweden.
