so moose seems to be the winner (for deer vs. elk vs. moose vs. caribou that is)
They are all HUGE winners compared with beef though.
I didn't realize they were that high in cholesterol???

high in cholesterol! when it's all organic hmm.

Doesn't really have anything to do with being organic or not. Basically if it has a mother, it's got Cholesterol.

Dont trust thatfirst links data on deer, they must have left all the fat on the carcass. I was taught that the value of game is that the fat is not marbled through the meat any where near as much as beef.

I was suprised a couple of years ago when I researched this. I always thought in my younger days reading all the mags etc. that deer meat was low in cholesterol (American magazines). It may be lean but it has more cholesterol than beef etc. Hard to prove other wise. Bison is the alterative to beef.

My older cousin in Sask has a Buff farm and it is good eating for sure. Regulations has it that no hormones or other stuff can be admitted to the animals. Free range only. They are hardy. Take winters well too.
