Spring Bear taste

[Lemoore-on]

Do you guys eat your spring bears?  Are they as good as a fall bear fattened up on berries?
I always hunt bears in the fall and I'm thinking about putting in for a spring tag.  Is it just a hide thing?

[h20hunter]

I have. On the flip side, a buddy had two that were inedible.

Mine was absolutely delicious from last spring

I've had meat from multiple spring bears, and never had a bad eater.  All eastside animals.

Spring bears are way better then fall bears and a lot less greasy. Mine have all been good and the only time I hear of bad ones is the bears that get into the skunk cabbage. Never killed one in it but I can imagine it would make em a little ripe lol

[Skyvalhunter]

Yea the skunk cabbage they love to eat really gives the meat that added flavor.

[boneaddict]

Ive always heard Springers are better than Fall bears

[lewy]

I have never been able to tell a difference

What meat do you guys take off the bears?  Sausage from quarters and tenderloins for steaks or do you try to take as much as possible like a deer or elk.  Ive never harvested a bear before, sorry for the newb question
