Grizzly vs Black Bear Taste

From my limited sampling of bear meat, I'd have to say black bear tastes like Adidas shoe soles, while Grizzly tastes much more like a worn out chuck taylor basketball sneaker of a sweaty pubescent teenage boy.
 
Black bear in the caribou mountains eating berries and grass tastes great. Wonder what a grizzly from those same mountains would taste like. Might have to apply for a draw. When does the spring LEH need to be in by?

The problem is osmosis, and the increase in atmospheric pressure from all that water falling into it. Forces H20 through the skin and the resultant electrolyte dilution causes water intoxication. We take advantage of it for the photos.

That would explain why I would immediately start feeling better when the sun came out. I'm glad that there is an easily understood scientific explanation for it. Was that worked out in the secret SOMA laboratory?

Lol, my sentiments exactly though I have to admit I have never tried Grizzly and never will. I like SK rules for hunting black bear. The only requirement is to harvest the hide. I have tried black bear on two separate occasions and both times made me want to :puke:
 
Black bear can be some of the best meat on the planet. Many a naysayer has ate at my table and was amazed at the quality of "beef" served. A few when found out it was bear were upset, the rest now eat bear. I admit though, a bad bear is a bad bear, can be like eating rancid fish sautéed in a septic tank. But you know that the second you start skinning it.

What's different? Got married and wife says no FN way? Small towns (let alone isolated ones) are not for everyone.

Met my wife up there, got married while we were up there and had kids while up there. We loved it. But we've got a kid with special needs and that isn't the place for her.

Yes indeed. Also, notice that he met and got married in the North, that is a really good idea if you enjoy the North. Taking a Southern girl up North is risky.
A few women love it, most hate it. I would still be in the Yukon if my southern girl didn't hate it.

I've got a similar issue, the Mrs loved the north until we had kids, then being in a small town a few hours of nothing from the next town, which is still nowhere and a full day's drive itself to a major centre, got old for her. Often the highway would become undrivable at least for her with kids too, rendering you an island. She would have loved to stay if I had a job where I was home at night, but I'm usually in camp in the bush for a couple weeks or more at a time, lucky she stayed with me!

So, we now live near my in laws, I've acclimatised actually and enjoy it, she loves the family support. My wife jokes I'm dealing with it so well, only needed an outfitting area, boat, and plane to settle into suburbia. I won't admit to her the south coast weather is actually pleasant, don't have to shovel rain... As long as she figures a piece of me is dying inside I get away with murder, the ruse will be up soon as she offers to move us north again for me. I still spend 60 or 70% of my time remote and North due to work so that's plenty.
