My buddy that I hunt with in Wisconsin got a bear the last 2 years so at deer camp I've gotten to eat it. From all the bad reports I've heard over the years about how greasy it is and generally gross I was surprised at how good it was. We had a roast one time that was excellent, and we had chops a few nights cooked different ways. All of it was excellent. Bear jerkey and those little jerkey sticks are the best I've ever had also.
