Moose brisket questions

[JLinza]

My uncle has a buddy that just killed a moose this year. My uncle helped him process it, and got some meat out of the deal... including a brisket. He has been curious on how to cook it. So I figured I'd ask around.
The couple things I read on the interweb pretty much said cook it like a beef brisket. But my first thought was if IT was taken into... let's say 203, it could be dry as it's going to be a leaner meat.
Anyone have experience with this? I'd be interested in feedback. I've cooked a lot of deer & elk but never moose, and not any wild game brisket either. Let me know what you think...

Oh this was his bull, 2nd largest bull taken in Colorado with a bow, 6th largest in the continental US.

I've no idea how to cook it, but I'm curious to hear what a brisket from that beast weighs!

He said it's about 10 lbs, I was surprised to learn that moose brisket is smaller and thinner than beef. I guess cause of the body structure. The backstraps were about 6 ft and tenderloins were like football though lol

Here are a couple very tasty options for moose. Moose is very lean and needs fat……I’ve never cooked it as a brisket before but as steaks roasts and stew…..

PS that’s a nice bull!

Magnificent bull. I’ve never cooked a moose brisket either, not really sure how I would approach that but I’d likely use my larding needle and lace some fat in it.

Is it true that you have to take everything from that bull and not dicard unwanted meat behind?

I’ve never done a wild game brisket bud… but here’s an idea!? This is how I’d likely approach the cook! Best of luck and please post it!

There’s nothing like a good smoked brisket. Try this rub the next time you smoke one to excite anyone’s taste buds.

That's a good idea. That was my best guess, just using plenty of beef tallow to keep it from drying out. Thanks

Yep, Colorado law says you have to take all edible meat.

I found that same article, and that was my thoughts as well.
I won't be doing the cook on this one, but I'll pass on to my uncle to take some pictures and hopefully be able to share.

Agreed, that's how I was raised. If you kill it... you eat it.

Right, moose is great. I'm not to involved in this one , other than helping him with ideas to cook it. But I'm still excited for it.
