I myself have never cared for Bear meat either. A lot of my family did which is why I hunted them in the past. Since most of them are gone now I have no one but my mutts that like it around me so I no longer hunt them. I never actually thought about hunting them for dog food. Makes me think about doing it again. I do remember enjoying getting after them. Couple Bears would feed my dogs well for a good bit. Maybe go half n half with some dry. Pete, do you cook it off or feed it to them raw? Just wondering how raw might effect my rabbit dogs. Letting them "blood up" on another species may screw them up.
