    50 lbs ground moose - what to do?

    I have 50-75 lbs of frozen packages of ground moose from last year that I don't know what to do with. I love the steaks, roasts and chops but the ground has a mild but unpleasant 'moosey' flavour I can't get over. Every year is the same. Any suggestions? I don't need 75 lbs of pepperoni but maybe a batch of sausages from a local butcher? I want to eat the moose but I don't want to pay a couple hundred for sausage and have it still be unpalatable to me. I'm in victoria if anyone knows of a meister nearby.

    Jerky is good. I'll adopt some of it if you're really pressed though!
    For sausage, I would avoid the new butcher who is on the saanich peninsula. He gave us cold (not frozen) sausage, and our pepperoni was loose in a cardboard box. The guy on the malahat is good.
    The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

    Find a guy to make sausage etc then give him 20lb (usually minimum) and see if you like it, if you do, go back!!
    Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!

    As much as you don't want to waste meat, I would recommend that you not force yourself to eat it. If you have a family that is turned off by the taste or the smell when it cooks, you may must find yourself fighting a battle for the rest of your life to keep them supportive of your love of hunting. "You're not going to shoot another stinky moose are you". "You're not going to bring another rotten moose into my house". etc. You know that it's just moosy tasting from the rut or from bad butchering but it doesn't matter if it is good healthy meat if it doesn't taste good.
    But, there are people who like a stronger taste in their animals. Consider giving your meat to someone who will appreciate it, or who is going through a financial dry spell and would appreciate any food that would help with their bottom line.
    Or if you are really stuck - enter a chilly cook off contest and put in enough spices to kill a moose. lol

    Next time make sure they don't put any trim in your burger....I'd say offer to donate it to some poor old vegetarian [bad hunter]
