Does elk taste different to normal deer?

Yes.

But I'm not a big fan of venison - been quite gamey from what I've had.  Mind you that's been hunted venison, not farmed.

I can hunt quail every day in my back yard. Usually I just give 'em a blast with an air rifle so they'll run away and stop eating my grass seed. It makes the feathers fly a lot. I can headshot them and they'll die, but I'm too lazy to pluck the feathers and cook 'em.

Yea, same here. It may have something to do with why I can't stand the smell/taste(or texture) of raw meat. Too much butchering as a kid. That smell is associated with shit and viscera which can smell many times worse, and I've never had a strong stomach.

I do not hunt, but I'm actually very supportive of those that do.  Seems like a worthy hobby and anything that thins out the goddamn deer is a good thing.  According to the Department of Conservation 150 thousand deer are harvested annually in Missouri.  That's a fucking lot.  Also hunters are what make the Department of Conservation what it is, and I like the other services they provide such as nature reserves and the like.  I've had deer burgers a few times, they are tasty.

How many can a single hunter take in a season?

No idea.  I think it depends on how you hunt them.  I think you can take more with a bow and arrow then you can with a rifle.  Perhaps more if you chase it down and kill it with a rock.

The type of hunting I don't have a lot of respect for is duck hunting (maybe geese hunting is similar).  Lie in a hidey hole, make them come to you with calls and decoys, then blast the shit out of them when they're close enough.

How is that different from any other kind of hunting?

Other kinds you have to sneak up on them, then get in a shot before they smell your manstench or hear your clumsy mannoise and run away.

You wouldn't like the way my buddy's native friend hunted deer then. He put a few salt licks on his property. Then he'd sit in a rocking chair on his porch with his gun and shoot them when ever he felt like it.

I should have specified I'm not impressed with the guys who sit in trees either.

I just figured it's one step further down your scale when you can step out of your living room in your skivvies, with a cigarette and cup of coffee to pick off the quarry.

Sure.  It's like if the baby seals waddled up to your EZ chair to get skulled.

Most people around here don't hunt like that.  At least in Missouri.  Wandering around the Forrest with a rifle during hunting season seems like a good way to get shot.  Most of the people I know who go hunting use deer blinds the like.

I'll confess that the hunters I know are moose hunters, not deer hunters.

But while their stories do involve travelling around (mostly on quads), they also use calls to try and bring the moose to them.

Yeah. You can't wait for a Moose to just come strolling. That would take forever.
