Big bruin... Looks like he was carrying a lot of denning fat... any bear over 21" is a good one, 22"+ is a great one. Thanks for posting.

800 pounder killed by a car, near a dump in Manitoba, few years back. My thoughts as well. that's where the best nutrition is.

A 525 lb Black bear arrowed in the Huntsville area a few years ago (not a dump bear) was big. This one is huge in comparison.

Have you ever heard the saying "You are what you eat"?

It's true, animals taste like what they've been eating, and a bear that has been eating garbage from a dump, is going to taste like it's been eating garbage from a dump.

That is, unless you aren't planning on harvesting the animal, which is just

Well, cuz he eats diirty diapers & tampons! lol.. Now, a niice wilderness bear that eats berries all day.. mmm mmm..lol . I live up the road from the dump...I learned long ago to not drop trash off around sunset!

Black Bear Licence return in NL has options for "Reason For Hunting" as:

• Meat
• Fur (Skin)
• Trophy
• Other

I assume check mark would go in Fur or Trophy...

Not saying that meat would be inedible, but I would definitely get it tested before consuming.

Venison is a good example of taste depending on food source.

Take em where you can get them. Exceptional trophy, not necessarily an eating bear. Here at least, we're not required to save the carcass.

I've seen more than one Eastern Slopes grizzly that wasn't that big.

Have you actually seen bears dining in the "diaper and tampon section" of your dump? Because that's not what they come there to eat. A dump is full of food that's much less disgusting than they may find in nature. Most blueberry seasons in Canada don't last from the onset of spring through fall, and you probably don't want to know what they eat before and after the brief berry season.

If a "natural" taste is what you're after, try eating a coastal bear that's been feeding on salmon for a while. I hear they're awesome.

Orchard bears should be right up there for great vittles as well.
