Yummy.
I always heard bear wasn't good to eat, especially during the time of year of eating spawned out salmon.
Other people said you could get a couple good hams off of them. They were the shoot at anything types, and as long as they used it I'm cool with that.
Other guys I saw hanging a bear out got it in bow season, perhaps, with a bow anyway and were more interested in the skin, but I hope they made some stew, too. They were the type that prolly they did.
I have no need for a bear, and doubt if I ever tasted one unless it was at the Chinese restraunt in Juneau, perhaps it was served as "broccholi beef."
