[Sca-cooks] New, If OOP and Rather Odd, Cooking Site

[Bill Fisher]

American elk taste somewhere in between american whitetail deer venison and 
american moose. Caribou tastes like caribou :-p  I've had all four
now.  I believe
there is a place in Miffflinburg, PA that farms Elk commercially for
meat now.  I've
seen their pens with many elk in them along route 45 on the way back
to the site
here Abhainn Ciach Ghlais hosts Will's Revenge.  I was just up there
after Pennsic
and I wanted to confirm and get odering information from them for meat
and antler.
