Leavingbear meat behind in Idaho

[smalldog]

Smoked hams and summer sausage or burger is the only way I will eat Bear.  I love bear meat and don't understand why someone would leave the meat.  If you don't eat the meat then don't kill it. I have hunted for about 46 years and was raised this way.  Respect the animals right to exist if not going to eat it.

Unfortunately too many folks think that bear meat isn't good.  Usually it's the ones that haul the bear around in their pickups all day showing off.

I have found in general that people think bear meat is no good. Black, brown (grizzly), spring, or fall and people turn their noses up. I have eaten fall fish stream brown bear that was better than many rut bucks I have had the displeasure to choke down. Bear is really underrated and it is disappointing to see.
