Here is a recipe for corned moose that should work well with beef, bufalo,
or pork.  I like the ideas of putting some peppers in for enhanced flavors,
but have not had the right climate for that (those with more moderate tastes
like corned meat too).

Corned Moose

4-5 Pounds Moose meat
5 Tablespoonse Tenderquick
2 tablespoons brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix dry ingredients in a large ziplock bag.  Add meat and shake to coat
well.  Squeez out as much air as practical and zip the bag shut.   Store in
the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks to cure, turning it over from time to time.
The corned meat will keep in the bag for a long period of time if the bag
remains sealed.

Cook as you would corned beef or salt cured pork.

Note that Morton's Tenderquick is a salt product that contains nitrates and
nitrites that help preserve the meat.  Tenderquick can be found in many
grocers shelves.

Meat may be frozen and thawed before curing.
