Yuck, just yuck 

Why would you even think about eating parasite infested meat?

On a brighter note there's still time to pick up a second bear tag and try again! 

And yeah how 'bout some pics!

MP123,
 
You have probably eaten several animals that had parasites and never knew about it.

Yeah, you're right.  But it's different if you know they're there and see them wiggling around.  Not that I'd want to waste meat but some of those parasites can be pretty nasty.

All wild animals have parasites.  The vast majority are not harmful to humans, but there are a few in carnivores that are transmissible to humans.  All cooked meat has no hazard for hunters.  There are NO parasites of deer or elk that are harmful to humans.

I think that thing was already dead when you shot it.  The worms flinched when they heard and felt the impact of the bullet.  Making him look alive.

I shot a bear up by Republic a few years ago that had white cysts in the main muscle groups. The bear was an old sow. I boned out the meat and packed it out, but when processing it, I noticed the extent of the cysts. It was pretty bad and made me not eat it. I think the worms would be just as bad.
