Oh boy. That looks delicious. If it taste better than venison I'm in. In Venezuela we do not have lots of deer and it actually illegal to hunt them,but in remote rural areas they are precious meat and there's no police around. It's been a while since I last tried any exotic/rare food like deer.
I had no idea elk was both abundant and widely consumed as part of the Canadian diet (at least in your part of the country).
I'm hungry now
