Yeah you can't waste them you have to take the meat. I don't care for bear much, I will eat it because I killed it and it is a big game animal. He was a older boar and I figured he would eat like crap! I was dead wrong! he was the best eating bear I have ever ate. He was the first spring bear I have killed and ate. The meat had a really nice smell to it. The fall bears get that fat that makes them gamey tasting.

I eat all my bears, summer sausage, pep sticks, bfast sausage...roasts..its on!

Oh and Carp....im taking that trophy this year!

I will be trying my hardest to keep it for 2 years in a row. I hit the jackpot on skagit 2 years in a row. The chances are so slim! I will try my best to shoot another toad. I will also be looking for a nice colored bear. I will shoot a smaller colored bear. If not I will try to shoot a big black again. There is a ton of spring bear tag holders on the site this year!

I look forward to seeing all the bears hitting the dirt...

The only bear i shot was a 130# cinnamon. She was on a creek eating humpies. That thing stunk so bad it took forever to gut out due to the vomit factor . I could'nt escape the smell for days.
 I had it cut & wrapped at the butcher. That thing was terrible eating no matter how or what i cooked it with.
 Three years ago my friend shot a nice bear up higher that had been eating mostly black berries. He gave me a steak so I could see if there was any difference. I could'nt believe how much better it was.
 So I have been putting in for spring bear the last three years, but havn't had any luck.
