Just curious. Does a Park Ranger not have the same clout as a Game Warden?

Same tree different branch, I guess. smile

Glad you are able to make use of it, as it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

Well it wasn't a moose but had the kids all loaded up to go ice fishing when a state trooper called and asked if I wanted a fresh cow elk. [Linked Image]
Elk fill freezers faster then fish.
Congrats on your find.

Nice find! I'd take moose steaks over fillets any day.

Didn't look like that good of an animal. Spring moose are usually skinny. Of course can't beat free.

Unless Bruce is cowboy enough to milk her then rope her calf and bottle feed it, then get milk replaced from Tractor Supply I would think this woulnt matter much. I am no vet, but if he were a she, then she would be passed the point of caring any longer. That's my opinion anyway

Young bull moose like that is a fine piece of meat. Very tender any time of year. Not much fat on them though. I kill a fat young cow in the fall,and that's about as good as it gets.

A park ranger here is the equivalent of unarmed Walmart security.

Unless it was hit by a helicoptor, it was probably hit in more than the head. I dont know of many vehicles around here tall enough to strike a Moose's head. Probabaly a good deal of bruising under the hide but still a whole lot of usable meat if you can get a permit from the warden....
