Real bears are mixed with lots of pork or bacon before consumption. Makes them edible to me.

Fall bear, 5500 -6500ft elevation, berry fed. TASTE AMAZING and to me have better fur not to mention more meat on their bones that time of year. :tup:
I have to agree with this. Blue berry and grass fed late summer to chilly fall. They're fattening up. Eating like crazy.

The late summer bear my Hubby got last year was AMAZING!! I think it was a 2 year old, so so good. But we are very anal about getting the meat out of the field and cooled right away-- I think he shout it about 4 and it was at the butcher's by 6. To me that seems to make the biggest difference with game.Usually when someone claims they don't like a certain game meat the first question that pops in my head is how well the meat was cared for in the field to butchering it

1 inch thick or so, usually shoot em in mid September. The hides are usually pretty greasy by then but the meat is finger lickin good! :tup:Fall bear, 5500 -6500ft elevation, berry fed.

The only bears I actually enjoy eating are of the gummy variety, sometimes the cinnamon kind.

Back on topic, I ate a bear that was about to explode from eating acorns one time and that bear was really tasty too.

Pear bears! Lol. I shot one out of a pear orchard and it was the tastiest meat I've ever eaten. Better than beef! The meat didn't last very long in the freezer.
Where'd you find a polar bear in a pear orchard :yike: :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Fall bears that have been eating fruit from the orchards have been the tastiest I have ever had. Smoked a bear ham and cut it into bone in steaks :EAT: :EAT:
