black dawg
WKR
I shoot a black bear in the spring every year. I've NEVER had one that was edible and they all stink when skinned worse than anything I can describe. Talk to me about disgusting... spring bears come to mind right away. I scratch my head every time someone says it even "ok". We eat game many days a week at my house so I know it isn't an aversion to game flavors. Dogs won't even lick at it...
I'd like to try a fall bear that has been eating berries, just so I can compare them but I can't get myself to waste a tag or the time on one in the fall.
where do these bears come from? We have eaten 10 black bears (spring and fall), with only 1 that (also the youngest)didn't taste very good.
