Getting a Moose to Michigan with James Zandstra

The Huntavore - Sportsmen's Empire

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by James Zandstra of The Fair Chase Podcast.

This past fall, James went on an epic adventure, hunting a Moose in BC, Canada. On top of

that, determined to bring the whole moose back to his own freezer here in Michigan, all by

driving. While finding and shooting the moose was one way up the mountain, getting the prize

back home is the way down. If you are thinking about a bountiful long distance meat hunt, then

this is the episode for you. Lots of heavy hauling on this episode of Huntavore.

James shares his experience of hunting moose in British Columbia. He discusses the

preparations he made for the hunting season and the planning involved in going on a moose

hunt. James also talks about the challenges of transporting the moose meat back home and the

process of processing the moose. He shares an exciting encounter with a grizzly bear and

reflects on the overall hunt. James concludes by recommending future hunts and the joy of

sharing the moose meat with others. James discusses his experience making sausage from

deer meat and shares his recipe. He also talks about his love for charcuterie and recalls a

memorable podcast episode with a charcuterie board. James then mentions his involvement in

creating hunting memes and his use of a recurve bow.

Transporting and processing the meat after a hunt can be challenging but rewarding.

Encounters with wildlife, such as grizzly bears, add excitement and adventure to the hunting

hunt. Making sausage from wild game meat can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Charcuterie boards can be a creative and impressive way to showcase homemade cured

meats. Creating hunting memes can be a fun way to engage with the hunting community on

social media. Using a recurve bow adds an extra challenge and enjoyment to hunting.
