I idhunters Active Member Messages 951 Oct 17, 2018 #11 LAST EDITED ON Oct-17-18 AT 12:20PM (MST)[p]I'm sure there are cysts in the moose meat. The hydatid cysts you wrote about are in the liver and lungs. I really hope that deer are not getting the hydatid cysts. Here is info from the Idaho fish and game on the cysts that are in the moose: https://idfg.idaho.gov/conservation/wildlife-health/hydatid-disease
