Well,

Both are good. I eat a lot of moose and elk. I think moose definatley has more of a "flavor" than elk. Moose is very close in texture to beef, and to me, taste like beef flavored with sage. Elk is milder and sweeter meat in my opinion. Elk goes better with tomato-based and other sweeter dishes. Moose seems to do well with rosemary and mexican food flavors. I am no gourmet though.

I am eating moose burritos as I type this and had moose shepherd pie last night,. Did I mention I eat a LOT of moose?

Have any of you ate moose tongue? I eat cow tongue and wonder if it was as good as it.

I think moose is better but if someone wants to set me up on an elk hunt I might change my mind. Actually the only elk I`ve had was farm raised and I feel moose was far better. Wild elk I imagine is better than farm raised.

So far 8 have preferred elk and 3 have preferred moose, with the rest either no preference or don't know...

I was lucky enough to kill both an elk and a moose in 2004, so I can make a direct comparison...

I've found that I'm enjoying the elk more than the moose, despite the fact that the elk is a little on the tough side and the moose is very tender.. This is because the elk was a mature bull ( 6 point) while the moose was a young bull, probably a two year old.. The elk has a much more distinct flavor, while the moose is very mild.... I prefer a full flavored meat...

Now even better than EITHER ( or any other game I have tried) is CARIBOU, at least to my palate... All the caribou I've eaten has been taken in early to mid September and has been fat and delicious... I've never tried to eat rutting bull caribou, but I've heard that if you take them during the rut they are not fit to eat...

elk is beter tasting and is also more challenging and cheaper to hunt.
