In this video, Marcus puts elk meat to the test by cooking elk meat from a bull harvested five years ago and one from a bull taken just last season. Same species. Same cook. Very different ages.

The big question is simple. Can you actually taste a difference?

Marcus walks through how he prepares each piece, what to look for in texture and flavor, and whether properly handled wild game really does hold up over time. If you have ever wondered how long elk meat lasts in the freezer or worried about digging into that older package in the back, this one is for you.
