I myself would not make or eat jerky made from bear meat. Bear meat is like pig meat and can have a parasite called trichnososis in it. Jerky making does not reach the desired temp in the meat to make me feel safe to eat it. To each his own though. Think about it, trichnososis in pork is much less of a concern than years ago and stores or lockers around here or anywhere I have ever been,still do not sell or make pork jerky. You may end up with one or more of these in ya.

RE: Bear Meat
Bear taste like what they eat. a springe bear taste`s pretty good cause they hav`nt eaten anything naste for a while. Here in BC you have to take the meat out so you shoot a 6 footer or bigger try eating him -yek-And i agree don`t make jerky from bear meat unless its been frozen for a couple months.

My only recomendation is if you are going to keep a bear for meat take a fall bear where they have been eating well on grain, grass berries etc. A bear that is hitting the bait hard has been eating beavers, dohnuts, cooking oil etc.

He was aged at that Hia, we have to get all our bears here ageds by the bios, they take a tooth sample.. I never did hunt the bears around here in near the dumps.. figured they'd taste accordingly... get up in back country..they really do eat well.. I think I shot him at 5,500 something close to that.. April 30th..

RE: Bear Meat
I have tried bear a few times and all I can say about it is YUK, you will not catch me eating it. I had a strong dislike for them and I live in some of the best bear hunting this state has to offer. I just can't stomach them.
