Shot one a couple years back near my cottage close to Vankoughnet. It was a young bear about 175lbs and he was delicious actually my favorite game I have had.An interesting note. My butcher said to get the best out of bear he would remove all the connective tissue between the different muscle groups as this was what would add the strong greasy flavor .I had it made up in steaks, chops, roasts and instead of burger , sausage. It was all awesomene.
Except for habitual dump bears. Many years back a buddy brought one back from moose hunting. I love my bear meat, it's not strong flavored generally but this one bear was so odorous you could not cook it in the house at all. It was still edible, albeit quite strong.Quote:

like someone mentioned, the trick is to remove ALL fat while butchering as it goes rancid quickly in the freezer.
Have taken 2 bears and both were excellent tasting.... its all about the location and how it's treated once its on the ground. Cool and remove the fat ASP will result in the best meat possible.....
The meat is excellent! Although you're mostly going to be hunting them over bait, it still makes for an exciting hunt. Best of all, there are tons of bears so you've got a very high chance of getting one.
don't mind eating bear at all! pepperettes and sausages with a few roasts thrown in for fun!!!
One of the best wild game meals I ever ate was bear ham. Another was bear Swedish meatballs.
Cooked nice and slow in crock pot can't tell the difference from beef.
