I've never had bear, so can't say whether I'd like it or not.

But,,,
Liver & Onions - great dish with grits.
Venison - if you don't like it you haven't had it cooked properly or didn't process the meat properly after the kill.
Elk - haven't had much of it, but what I had was equal to quality beef.
Coon, possum, rattlesnake, alligator, duck, quail, dove, crawfish, oysters, garfish - all good.

Stuff I don't eat...... well, rocks and trees come to mind. :s2:

Pete - I'm telling you. A bear roast trimmed of all fat and rubbed with oil and seasoned with fresh ground black pepper and Johnny's seasoning salt then seared in a hot pan and placed in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water, 3 beef bullion cubes, a bay leaf, a teaspoon of minced garlic and a slice or two of onion. Cook for 55-60 mins and let pressure drop by itself and you will have the tastiest meat you ever ate. And it will fall apart.
This is the same recipe I use for beef and venison. It's delicious.

BTW - how did we get from the effectiveness of the PRB to "the cooking forum"?

Not true. I know lots of people who don't like venison. The fact that you like liver and onions shows we have different taste.

Keep in mind mule deer around here feed on sage. A lot different than whitetails feeding on corn or apples.

It doesn't really matter. Bear hunting sucks around here. Too many hunters, and not enough bears. No baiting, so sneaking up on them with a lot of hunters around is a pain. Getting close enough for a PRB makes it worse. It's a rifle season, so i'm with rifle hunters who can take long shots. I also like to hunt up high at timberline. Bears aren't there, so I have to go lower for them where the majority of hunters are.
I'll just stick with elk. I know they taste good, and I can hunt in solitude up at timberline.

Pete brings up a great point (shows the old fart aint totally senile!), where a game animal lives and what it feeds on contributes greatly to how the meat is flavored.

Are you sure about that ain't totally senile? Just kidding of course!!!

mmmmmmm liver and onions!

There you go.

We all know Jon has no taste.

see how much of a mountain man you are?!! If you was a real mountain man you'd be cutting buffler hump off, dippin it into the pee juice and scarfing it down.
