As with pork, bear meat also carries the possibility of getting trichinosis, needing to be well-
cooked (NOT well-done) ! An internal temperature of at least
160° is strongly recommended !
Have had most species of deer,
plus bison, rabbit, squirrel, duck, pheasant and partridge, but no bear meat (yet) ! Also, will NOT
eat horsemeat, nor any species
of canines or felines (personal choice) !

Spring bear is not very good and doesn’t even make decent sausage in my opinion. Had a flavor that is not very appetizing. The fall bear makes better sausage but is still a lot greasier than the greasiest pork I’ve ever had. This was both Montana and N. Idaho bears. Maybe bear from other areas with different feed might be different/better.

Feed has a lot to do with the
flavor of any species ! Deer that feed on apples, berries and the
like taste much better than deer
who mostly browse vegetation
or eat acorns ! The taste of bears who feed predominantly on berries, apples, a squirrel or two, will far exceed any dump-feeding bear ! A fatter, well-fed bear going into hibernation SHOULD taste better than a spring bear just coming out; the sleeping bear 's system has been absorbing a good part of the stored fat and nutrients in its system, leaving behind just lean meat and
muscle !

Yes sir. I have had antelope that have been raised in the alfalfa fields that was mighty tasty. Have had others that are out in the sagebrush only and are so strong tasting the dogs wouldn't eat it.

I’m with you hunt, I want my steaks crawling off my plate. While in the navy I had 2 steaks squirt blood when I cut them, man were they good. I like my venison steaks medium rare to medium.

If you order them rare and change your mind before they serve you - they just need to put a band aid on it and turn it back out to pasture😂.
