Huge bear
 
I just thought I would share this bear that was checked out by the biologists up here and then let be. He is still roaming around the woods here. He will surely weigh a lot more come fall.. Any ways here is the story and pics in our local news paper today. Yes this is in the same county I am from.. Unfortunately while I hunt most animals here. The bears have never been on my to do list as I do not care for the taste of them..

Try not to shoot the bears that frequent the dump, and you'll find they taste great.;)

Yeah, and besides not much fun hunting at the local dumps.. I was given some bear meat before on a couple of accasions and could not aquire a taste for them.. Although when made into sausage they sure tasted great..

Bear meat is one that I've never had the chance to try, but I understand some love it and some won't get near it.

Bear meat
 
06, Bear meat taste pretty good when prepared right before you cook it. There is a layer of fat that has to be removed when butchering the bear, if left on it will turn the meat a little racide after awhile. When you cook the meat with the fat still on it , it will give the meat a strong bitter taste. But bear stew, roast, steakes taste great.

I love fried liver and onions!!

I gag on liver, so there you go. Liver to me taste like meat that went bad.

If you tell me bear meat taste good it wouldn't have much meaning for me. We have different taste on what we like.

I am with Tundra10, I love liver and fried onions.. My wife only likes it if I cook it as I cook it a little different than she does..

But bear meat I just can not get threw the taste it has.. Yes, even without any fat on it at all.. But spice it up real well like I had mentioned before in sausage and I have no problem with it.. I never tried any jerky but they maybe alright as well if enough spices is used..
