I have noticed that various game meats are available online but at an exorbitant price.
I have always wanted to taste elk, but cannot afford a hunt out west.
Nor do I wish to pay the online asking price.
I have 2 questions:
1. The price to harvest a cow elk at a preserve in PA start around $1300. I believe that would be less expensive than purchasing the comparable amount of elk meat from online merchants. And I am pretty sure it is much less expensive than an out west hunt.
2. I wonder if the taste would be the same as a truly wild cow elk or if being in captivity would alter the flavor of the table fare.
Now, I know that the preserve is not hunting, but harvesting livestock, so don't crack on me for that.
I am just trying to find out the most economical way to obtain the elk meat.
