Bear is my favorite. But there are some tricks to it.
What they eat affects what the meat tastes like, so I wouldn't try to eat a garbage bear or a fish eating bear. And care after the shot is paramount. That skin needs to get off there asap, and also any bloodshot meat. I like to bone it out right were it falls if possible. And as someone else stated, trim the fat off as well, it makes better boot grease than anything. And when you cook bear, it needs to be done. Trichinosis in bear is slightly different than what is in pork. If pork has been fully frozen, it kills the trichinosis, and you can actually eat it rare if you like. But the strain that is in bear meat is not killed by freezing.
