Big Sky Elk Roast

Montana, an outdoor enthusiast's haven, is known for its big skies, rich natural resources, recreation, hunting and fishing. Deemed the treasure state by seekers of fortune during the gold rush days, Montanans now treasure clean air, wide open spaces, and pristine lakes and rivers. A heritage rich in hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation is valued by Montana families. Our featured recipe is an elk roast with cinnamon which brings out the flavor of the meat.
