Default What does black bear meat taste like

So I hunt for strictly meat. I have only hunted deer. So I need to buy some species licenses for the 2012 general open season. I'm definitely getting a deer license. I was also thinking of getting black bear license but I'm not sure how the meat is.
Is the meat any good?

I triied a bear ham last weekend. It probably has a lot to do with the way its prepaired but I'm not rushing out to buy a bear tag to go out and fill my frezer.

Default bear meat

I really like bear meat in stew, hate it in hamburgers and sausage. My hunting buddy always brings bear to pot luck suppers and everyone eats it up!

Best meat I have had at a wildlife supper was a bear which was cold smoked and then slow roasted in an oven. It was the first meat that was devoured, so I was not the only one who felt that way.

Delicious as a ham... try it some time.

It tastes a lot more like beef than does deer meat. It's also tougher than deer, IME.

Awesome that you hunt for meat strictly just a point to remember... Here in Alberta you must not waste a bear hide. Bc us different where you must take the meat but can leave the hide. Alberta is opposite
