I only shoot what I'm going to eat and for a long time I just put aside the idea of black bear hunting because I had never tasted it. This past September at my clubs cookout one of the members brought some bear he had taken in Canada. Just grilled, tasted great. So maybe it's on the bucket list now.

I have been told that spring bear do not taste very good having lived off their own fat all winter. Fall bear is better having fattened up on nuts, berries and whatever else. I have also been told to only eat bear taken far from humanity or any garbage dump. This was told to me by a buddy that was once posted at a dump by a guide. He witnessed bears feasting on used Pampers....


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
