    Yes, very much so! Better than moose in my opinion, it was my favorite game as a kid growing up in Alaska.

    Suicidal? Look maybe the the poor thing just had a bad break up, and just needed a shoulder to lean on to get it through this tough time. It probably had hopes and dreams with thoughts of retiring to someplace near Santa’s work shop. Instead of a shoulder you leaned on it with a fender and a steer tire I’d guess. You’re a savage.

    I bet they're tasty. :D

    Well now I am chapped.
    I thought I lucked out with no damage, I barely clipped it and the bumper is still straight.
    Just finished washing the truck and with the sun shining on my brand new 1 month old bumper, it put a small ding around one of the bolts and cracked it.

    For whatever reason, male caribou will charge at the sound of the jake break. It pisses them off and they will instinctively ram a truck.

    Sure. The problem is if that is all you got all winter you will be sick of it.

    Im just a generic beef man, Ive enjoy deer meat in my time properly fried well done. That's like pouring av gas on the body to go do work.

    I prefer deer, elk, buffalo, even a good bear over beef, though nothing at all wrong with a good steak.
    I like moose just as well as beef, caribou and antelope too, not better , but just as well.
    Now all this depends heavily on how it was handled after it was killed, and sometimes what it has been feeding on too..
     
    Milr72 and x1Heavy Thank this.

    I am a meat lover. American beef is the best beef in the world. However pork and lamb is not tasty here in USA. I have tried deer meat and it's ok. Never tried caribou. Alaskan salmon is good one. Love it and ready to eat every day :) .
