Meat
Alaskan Moose
A tier
Alaskan moose include some of the largest Alces alces gigas individuals on earth, ranging tundra edges and boreal valleys. Hunter-harvested meat is a subsistence and recreational cornerstone of Alaskan food culture. Large animals provide vast quantities of lean meat for the freezer—roasts, burger, and stew meat. Flavour is robust; careful field care in cool climates preserves quality. Young cows are preferred for tenderness when tags allow choice.
