Yeah, with those millions of head of elk on those thousands of elk ranches,
why DON"T we eat more elk?

I want an answer!

Well, I wouldn't say "millions," 😉 but a good size bull can feed my family
for most of a year. Chicken is cheaper, but chicken gets boring real quick.
The cost of a hunt in the fall is a helluva lot cheaper than the same amount
of chicken, or even beef. Is it laziness? Lack of time to go hunting?

I've been seriously looking into getting an elk ranch going. They eat a
third of what beef does, and every part of the elk is saleable. Antlers/felt
can be harvested every year. Pseudo-hunters pay good money to can hunt a
trophy bull. Etc, etc, etc...

Not at all. IMO, it tastes better than beef.

It tastes great. Better than venison in my opinion, and a lot like beef.
Even better in fact. My kids prefer it to beef. That is, if you take care
of it correctly. That would include cooling out the animal immediately
after killing it. Get the cape off, hang it and rinse it out. THEN it
tastes better than the best beef. Guys that leave the cape on end up with
gamey tasting meat.

I've tried venison but found it a bit gamey. Not too much elk in Australia.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow

It can be dry, if not prepared correctly, because of the low fat content.
Don't you love going to a friends house that has nary a clue and they
think
they can just throw it on the grill like it were beef?

Good point. I wish I could remember how my ex fixed it because it was the
best. I just fry it in a cast iron skillet with some olive oil, onions,
peppers and whatever suites my fancy. Works for me.

It can be quite good, but the points I make about caping and cooling out the
meat especially apply. And when you prepare it, there are some steps you
can take. Some soak the meat in milk before cooking it. My ex used to
bread it with some sort of spice mix. And be careful not to overcook it.
Because it's so lean, it ends up like cardboard if you do.

fry it in olive oil. Serve it with some red potatos roasted in minced garlic
