I really like Black Bear Meat. I make steaks and the Roasts are great. I usually have the rear Hams somoked. The last One I got was well over 550 lbs. I took that one in Northern Sask. We hunted over bait there. There are a lot of Bears in that area. The meat is really more like beef than it is like pork or deer. I like it better than Moose but its all good to me.
