The worst part about moving to a new place is you can't hunt. But, the best part about Colorado is that there are a shit load of elk. Elk is actually the only tag you can get over the counter, but it is ridiculously busy here during the hunting season. 3 of the people who live out where I do my field work got elk and I helped them pack it out so I got quite a bit. 2 of them each got a cow and a bull. We also got some meat from a cull they did in Southern Colorado. I am pretty pissed- I have to take a hunter education course to get a licence, they won't accept my AB one.
Elk liver is a lot bigger than deer
It does not taste good, no matter how may onions
We made an Argentinian style flank stank stuffed with prosciutto and a bunch of other shit
a much larger piece of meat was required
but it was still really good
with mushroom risotto
This is my study site
and species
and capture method
I envisioned your study site more mountainous.
ReplyDeletealso what year was that deer photo taken in!
ReplyDeleteYour pre-cooked flank pic is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like a steak in a fruit hat.
ReplyDeletemore trees than i thought.
ReplyDeleteyeah its more rugged than it looks there and less treed but it is not really mountainous it is about 100 km from what you would call real mtns. deer pic was this december, does it look old?
ReplyDeletethat was a 3 lbs elk steak and we latter realized the recipe called for 5 lbs
