I’d start with hanging it outside — as a warning.
I wonder if bear meat is ..... palatable. Gonna be tough regardless.
But, first fours shots as warning? WTH? Yah thought deafening the bear would run him off? For that shoot him in the foot.

other p. bears would see that as food.
I’ve been told that it’s very greasy and it either tastes like berries/pine cones/fish/bambi or pepper spray/little bells/human flesh depending on the most recent or current diet.
I have eaten a fair amount of black bear meat.
Generally, reminds me of roast beef.
A great deal depends on how it is prepared and cooked.
Most of what I ate was roasted. Some ground and cooked as hamburger.
It was highly favored by settlers.
