Motorcyclist who struck moose plans to eat it

PARK COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Adam Lamb was riding his motorcycle near Guanella Pass when he struck a moose.
“Between her lower rib cage and her hind legs,” Lamb said.
The crash happened last Saturday. “I ended up ejecting from the motorcycle over her,” he said.
Lamb was sent to the hospital with injuries from the crash.
“I was hanging on to the handlebars, I’m pretty sure that’s when I broke both of my arms,” Lamb said.
Folks came to his aid, Lamb said, including a search-and-rescue team member and Matt Bagge.
“We grab some jackets and some blankets for him, and he said his hands were cold and then we grabbed another thing to keep his legs elevated,” Bagge said.
Lamb is grateful his own collision happened with decent folks not too far.
“If there weren’t people there around me, there’s no telling how long I would have laid there,” Lamb said.
The moose didn’t survive but wasn’t left on the side of the road.
“At the end we got about a hundred pounds of meat,” Bagge said.
Wildlife officials warn to stay vigilant for wildlife Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminded drivers in the high country to brace for these types of crashes.
“As we move into fall and winter, this is a time when we see an increase in vehicle collisions,” Joey Livingston, from CPW, said.
CPW said striking an animal on purpose is tantamount to poaching, but similar to this case, it isn’t a crime when it’s an accident.
With that in mind, there are plans for Lamb when he recovers, according to Bagge.
“We’re going to have a celebration when he (Lamb) can maybe hold a stick over the fire and roast some marshmallows and maybe some moose meat,” Bagge said.
Lamb said he’s expected to be discharged from the hospital this weekend and is looking at a recovery of about six to eight weeks.
Dang. That is going way back. I was a mere lurker back then.
“Absolutely, in our state you load it up and take it to game and fish. They will issue you a tag to legally possess the meat and chalk it up as road kill.”
I got so many roadkill deer that the game commission gave me a permanent permit. I drove a highway through a state forest that always had fresh deer hit. The game commission regional headquarters was at the end of the highway near my house. It got to the point I would not pick them up unless there were two or more of them.
One time a deer had two broken legs and couldn’t run, so I jumped on it and slit its throat. The blood sprayed and covered me like a garden hose. Had to stop at the car wash and spray myself off before I went home. Oh to be a Hillbilly again!
It takes a pretty hard impact to gel and ruin the meat. The skin is pretty tough.
lol, I got two deer over the years. But for Az that is pretty good. First one I hit with a garbage truck coming back home into the yard for the day. Front load fork truck. Had rope so tied him to the forks and lifted him up on top of the truck. lol
That is hilarious. :)
Probably a lot of the meat was ruined in the collision.🤔
Was under different screen name back then. Started in 2000.
Lot of changes.
Older and grayer. Maybe wiser.

Small moose to only yield 100 lbs of meat.
Probably only took the back strap.
Gamey.
Depends how picky the person doing the butchering is.
Good road kill stories! Like!
Clinger was a bit of a gourmet and liked the bigger portions. He tried to eat a whole jeep.

“Moose makes motorcyclist eat it.”
Words are rubbery things.
