Everyone's taste buds are different but bear meat that taste's like crap most likely wasn't taken care of properly when It was killed. Bear have allot of fat Inside the meat and along the hide. The biggest no no people do Is not getting them cooled right away. Bear meat Is my favorite big game animal to eat.
Bear hunting can be just as challenging In certain parts of the country using bait as well. Come on up to Minnesota and do a public land hunt If you don't believe me.
