RE: Trichinosis in black bears?
Bears eat just about every conceivable thing that is edible and some you've got to question why, much like hogs. That's a big reason I don't hunt/eat bears. With hogs you have some control of what they eat in a controlled setting. Bears you can't. That's just my take on it.
So, if you do eat, I'd say cook it until you know you've killed whatever parisite the thing has acquired.
