They don't taste any different then a bear any smaller then that. Bear meat Is one of my favorites to eat of all wild game. Allot of people say they can't stand the taste of It. A big reason why Is because It wasn't taken care of decent right away after It was shot. A bear needs to be skun and quartered out so they can cool off quickly. Bear meat has allot of fat In It and It needs to be cooled and taken care of Immediately. You do and your bear will taste much better, trust me!
