Almost my whole family hunts, and I grew up on meat my dad hunted or we fished! I love deer sausage, and my dad usually gets pepperoni and beer sticks made too. As for moose, I like moose roasts but not really steaks or anything like that. My dad, his friend, my uncle, and my cousin went out and got 4 moose last month, so our freezers are going to be well-stocked!
When we get low on meat, there are a lot of farms near my parents' house that raise elk and bison, so we sometimes just buy one between a few family members and split it up.
And yes, there are a LOT of deer and moose up here, so my feelings on it are that we're controlling the population and feeding ourselves. It doesn't go to waste! I have never hit a deer but almost everyone I know has! A friend of mine hit a moose and completely smashed up her car beyond recognition, and she was stranded on the side of the highway in the middle of the night, until a trucker pulled over to give her a ride! Around here there are always wildlife in the ditches. There have even been deer wandering into the city! I remember a dead deer on an overpass a few years ago.
