A major determinent of the quality of meat, is how long an the moose is run before it is killed. If you make it run for fifteen minutes then shoot it, expect the meat to be tough. The very best meat, calf or adult moose, is one that drops as soon as it is shot.
Those two moose introduced to Howley in 1904 did no survive, or s they say. Later there were two bulls and two cows dropped off in Gander Bay and they then took off from there.
If a moose is large, it is considered an adult and the older it is, the more tough will be the meat to eat. Generarlly, a smaller or younger animal provides a more tender steak. I am sure there are more factors than that, but I am not a moose hunter so I can say say no more.
egrandy,,,don't blame the Indians for your failure and frustration. If you want to hunt a moose leave your couch, look beyond suburbia and go to the woods where you can learn the a,b,c of hunting.
In Ontario the Indians killed all the moose. The Newfoundlanders killed the Indians. The moose are killing Newfies on the highways! Not meaning to be mean by this story, but it is all true! History don't lie!
Lol yah i know its not thier fault, its just that i think NFLD could somehow control the population better or install fences :S, I was almost killed b4 i was born in a moose related accident.
these moose came from the miramichi an area called Bartibog. a man named John Connel used to have them tethered like horses he caught them in april and shipped them to newfoundland.
Many thanks for that bit of information. I have often wondered what part of the NB our moose ancestors roamed. I have been in that area, and I can say, very similar to Newfoundland which is why the moose like it, I guess. Thanks again.
My horse got chased by a moose before.. It was huge.

Do be sure you know what you are shooting at. Men walking upright, have been mistaken for bears walking on all four in central NL.

I'm not 100% sure, but I've read it a few times while doing research for papers during college. I'm still trying to find out the truth of it.
