I agree with the idea that if you don't eat it you don't kill it.

An congrats to you guys getting drawn, hope you have safe and successful hunts! Good luck !

This spewing leaving grizzly meat in the bush goes to waste is nothing but a load of nanny state sucking schit.

I left my last grizzly in the bush to feed it to another grizzly.

How do I know that another grizzly carried the body away and ate it because the body had been carried away and it chased us out of the thick bush when we went back in to check on the carcass 5 days later. :rolleyes:
 
Grizzly isn't my idea of appetizing meat either, I watch what they'll eat at work all the time. They have one of the highest parasite loads of any creature I've ever skinned. Quite frankly the carcass does more good in the bush than freezer burning into oblivion. In the bush it actually gets used and recycled completely. The bill is no friend of hunters and was written by people out of touch with grizzly hunting.
 
I can understand eating grizzly meat if you're shooting little/young ones.

Whereas I have no intentions of ever shooting a young/small grizzly.

I'm curious any of you ever tried eating old grizzly I guarantee those that are pushing this and/or those that suck up their emotional spewing haven't.

Why not ? (Ted Wagner) shot a 21 year old grizzly and shared meat with others. He said it was good.
I personally skinned a less-than-medium size black bears and it had so many thread like worms. It is all about the way to process the meat, all are edible, and should be consumed by hunters who shoot them.
It is a good new policy.
 
You can't really be serious you would knowingly risk eating trichinosis filled meat do you also push it on your family/friends to eat as well?

Do you not know what those
thread like worms
are and can do to you.

I'll try to enlighten you = please open the link or at least read the following info it may save you or anyone else you push this crap meat onto.

http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/trichinellosis/gen_info/faqs.html

What is trichinellosis?

Trichinellosis, also called trichinosis, is caused by eating raw or undercooked meat of animals infected with the larvae of a species of worm called Trichinella. Infection occurs commonly in certain wild carnivorous (meat-eating) animals such as bear or cougar, or omnivorous (meat and plant-eating) animals such as domestic pigs or wild boar.

What are the signs and symptoms of a trichinellosis infection?

The signs, symptoms, severity and duration of trichinellosis vary. Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort are often the first symptoms of trichinellosis. Headaches, fevers, chills, cough, swelling of the face and eyes, aching joints and muscle pains, itchy skin, diarrhea, or constipation may follow the first symptoms. If the infection is heavy, patients may experience difficulty coordinating movements, and have heart and breathing problems. In severe cases, death can occur.
For mild to moderate infections, most symptoms subside within a few months. Fatigue, weakness, muscle pain, and diarrhea may last for months.

How soon after infection will symptoms appear?

Abdominal symptoms can occur 1-2 days after infection. Further symptoms usually start 2-8 weeks after eating contaminated meat. Symptoms may range from very mild to severe and relate to the number of infectious worms consumed in meat. Often, mild cases of trichinellosis are never specifically diagnosed and are assumed to be the flu or other common illnesses.

How does infection occur in humans and animals?

When a human or animal eats meat that contains infective Trichinella cysts, the acid in the stomach dissolves the hard covering of the cyst and releases the worms. The worms pass into the small intestine and, in 1-2 days, become mature. After mating, adult females lay eggs. Eggs develop into immature worms, travel through the arteries, and are transported to muscles. Within the muscles, the worms curl into a ball and encyst (become enclosed in a capsule). The life cycle repeats when meat containing these encysted worms is consumed by another human or animal.

Am I at risk for trichinellosis?

If you eat raw or undercooked meats, particularly bear, pork, wild feline (such as a cougar), fox, dog, wolf, horse, seal, or walrus, you are at risk for trichinellosis.

Can I spread trichinellosis to others?

No. Infection can only occur by eating raw or undercooked meat containing Trichinella worms.

What should I do if I think I have trichinellosis?

See your health care provider who can order tests and treat symptoms of trichinellosis infection. If you have eaten raw or undercooked meat, you should tell your health care provider.
How is trichinellosis infection diagnosed?

A blood test or muscle biopsy can show if you have trichinellosis.

How is trichinellosis infection treated?

Several safe and effective prescription drugs are available to treat trichinellosis. Treatment should begin as soon as possible and the decision to treat is based upon symptoms, exposure to raw or undercooked meat, and laboratory test results.
 
I can understand if you can not see any trichinellosis worms in the meat but to knowing eat it once you see that it is infested is mind boggling to me.

I couldn't fathom knowing putting myself or anyone else at risk.

Here is what I would do if I saw these worms in the meat when I was gutting/skinning a bear.

1) document everything ie time bear was shot - where

2) take as many pictures of the infestation that I could

3) after skinning leave the infested carcass for the wild animals that scavenge to eat

4) contact CO and report

I have several friends that are CO's they tell me that if the meat of a black bear is trichinellosis infested they consider it non-edible and ok to leave in the bush.
 
Ive tried it, It wasnt bad.

Trichinosis is also existent in pigs, yet it does not stop any of the people I know from feasting on a wild boar ham roast - bone in.

Bear meat reminds me mostly of wild boar (native european "Wildsau") if the animal did not feed on a pile of fish or rotten meat prior to be hunted and processed. I tend to agree in "getting the meat out" for all bears if you kill em, eh.

Any Bill to force the consumption of G Bear is simply a anti hunting measure. I would eat G Bear, just about when anything else in the world is extinct. Something like the bicycle helmet laws here, no one wears them. They exist simply so any cyclist injured in a bike/car crash can not sue the government insurance as liability would be on the cyclist. In the same way this Bill would allow a charge to be laid for not utilizing the meat, publicity for cancellation of the Bear hunt.

Congrats on your Successful Hunt !!!
You mean to tell me there are no Grizzlies in your Neck of the woods?
I Thought one had to have the biggest meanest looking center fire to even venture two feet from the truck when in GB Country !

I didnt buy into the lottery this year as my hunting partners couldnt confirm time to go with two days before start of the moose Draw we had.
Sucks, but oh well some people had fun I am sure and good on those who actually got out and burnt some boot tread !

love the color on that bear, congrats.
I've been out for black bear and passed on a few average cariboo bears. I wouldn't pass on a nice brown/cinnamon colored one if I could just find one around here LOL
:cheers:
