My wife does really well with just about everything, venison, moose, turkey...she just won't touch bear. It doesn't matter what recipe or how it is cooked...she won't touch it. I spent days marinating and putting together dinner. I had only said I was cooking, "backstraps". It was delicious, the kids loved it! She took one bit, looked at me and said, "Is this bear or deer?". If it wasn't for the well done cooking as opposed to medium rare with venison there was no way to tell the difference. I guess that means more bear for the rest of us. Just have to deal with a three year old asking why Mommy has something different for dinner than the rest of us.
