Few years back - not far from the cabin - a group of 'merican hunters were hunting bear. They got one & decided to have some of it for dinner. Turns out they like their meats quite "rare".
Middle of the night one of them managed to crawl out to a road where he was discovered. He actually survived, but just barley. He'll never be the same again. Police found that two or 3 more were in the cabin critically ill. (Two of them died). Two more were found dead in their beds. Ministry put out a notice after reminding folks to cook bear thoroughly. Dump bears are usually quite high in it..but I dunno why anyone would even want a dump bear. Our dumps up there are all now heavily fenced to keep them out.(But that doesn't always work, either. |

Actually, if you factor in gas, beer, etc everything I hunt or fish works out to be way over $50/lb!

I have had NY black bear twice. Both times convinced me I would most likely pass on the opportunity if I saw one - and it is legal and fair game here with both bow and firearm. I thought it was spongy and not very palatable. I have had them on my game cams and scat on the property within feet of my favorite spot to sit for whitetail.
Could very much depend on the handling and, in both cases, it was ground and lord knows if or what fat was added to make it more (or less) palatable. Now, if a Black Angus wanders onto my property . . .

We have black Bear here in northern Arizona. My neighbor got one and gave us burgers,ribs,and some roasting meat. I did not care for either the burgers or ribs. The taste and texture was wrong. The roasting meat was used to make a stew and that tasted wonderful. I doubt that I would ever hunt one for the reasons stated about the ground meat and ribs alone. We have Bison,Elk,Pronghorn Antelope, Whitetail, Mule Deer,Bighorn Sheep, Javelina, Mountain Lion,and Turkeys. The best tasting game meat for me is the Javelina and then the Mule Deer. I find no challenge in hunting Bison here. They are on a ranch and one of the ranch hands drives you out to where they are and points at one and says,there ya go. I will not shoot Bighorn sheep or Mountain Lions because I do not trophy hunt. Pronghorn out here have adapted to your atypical long range hunters and stay out beyond those shots. Turkey hunts out here are almost a given that you will get one.
