When they have a story, how do you not love them? I still have the receipt that dad kept since he had the rifle built in 1961!
Like sands through the hour glass…….
Must be a southern boy , looks kinda adolescent ..
I see, I see . How the 22 Hornet is your choice down there . I now understand. Our blacks up here in central and north would use ketchup and pickles on him

Are you trolling for a reason?

Right!
Good for you! I had tried bear years ago and found it very greasy with a strong taste and it wasn't until someone from our church cooked some of their bear meat that I changed my mind. Last year I took my son-in-law for a spring bear hunting for his first time hunting and he got a nice sow. It was delicious and we gave some to a few people at our church as well. My daughter rendered down all the bear fat and uses it to cook but also made soap from it. When my mother started using the soap some of the skin conditions on her hands cleared right up.

Never ate grizzly meat, but have enjoyed blackbear roasts and pepperoni over the yrs.

mice one love the head and the belly good indication of not a small or little youngster in my opinion.
to avoid that taste you need to avoid your meat to touch the hair while skinning it. for the greasy part the grease is not in the meat like beef or other animals so easy to remove as well.
yes grease from bear is known to help people with skin issues.
glad to hear it. we did bourguignon and gulazs with bear meat and of course the ribs (those ones are not lasting long enough). im now in spring bear mood with the warm up coming to us.
I also find people try to treat it too much like beef. Aside from the trichinosis risk, bear is best when seared then braised, smoked, stewed, or used in any other slow cook recipe. It's so flavourful and even after hours of cooking retains its texture.
The fat is incredible to render and use for cooking for sure. I've heard the same about skin benefits from natural soaps.
Such an incredible species. Love the bears!
I have only eaten interior/ne grizz but I couldn’t really tell the difference between spring black bear and spring grizzly meat
Phil is right about the skin; I think a lot of “gamey” deer comes from this too. Not to mention glands going in the grinder.
I have never shot a fall bear but spring bear tastes like veal with a touch of pork. Probably my favourite wild game, maybe tied with elk

Anything that can throw a quality 150gr+ bullet at 3000fps is ideal, and anything that can do that at 2500fps is good. I didn’t like guiding slower rounds on grizz, and argue that’s the wrong way to go on them. They’re thin skinned, lighter animals compared to buffalo, and loading for them as one would for buffalo is misguided.
i posted here a few recipes that we tried and ate.
