The bear WAS eating him. I am willing to cut him a little slack.

Ive had bear a couple of times. It was cooked like a roast. It was tougher than cow, but not horrible.
To: Vermont Lt
So youre saying it was bearable meat.

Great read! Thanks for posting it all.
Imagine what the end result would have been if he had not given the OK earlier for his wife to follow with their kids and her sister...

I carry a 100mm everyday. If I thought I might have to defend myself against a bear, I’d be more inclined to carry my .460 Rowland.

before that:
"The bear is coming for him. He elects not to aim for the head. He does not want to hit one of his dogs. "
Poor decision.

I have eaten a lot of bears.
Well taken care of in the field goes a long was to having good meat.
The same with any game.
Properly good bear very good.
My wife makes the best pie crust with the lard.

“For bears you need expansion not penetration.”
Did you say that backward? He was using an expanding, medium velocity hollow point. BBs are all about penetration.

Lots of factors involved in how any game tastes. What they are eating, age, health. If an animal is stressed (as in chased by dogs) it’s body gives off enzymes that can make the meat more tender, but also gamier tasting. In the old days they used to torture animals before killing them for that reason. Big males can have so much testosterone that the meat tastes funky. I’ve never eaten bear, but I’ve heard people say wild hogs taste bad because all they ever ate as a big old boar. And of course as you mentioned proper field care of the meat.

Yes I said that backwards. Apparently my fingers and my brain were not aligned. 😊

Harvested one week ago today, 7mm WIN MAG. Boar. 257# dressed. Neighbors are delighted, that there is one less bear in the 'hood.
We have been over run with black bayah.
All put away in the freezer.

“Great nugget of info here for my fellow Glock shooters...contact shots with a. Glock are problematic.
If the slide is 1/8 of an inch punched back the gun is out of battery and will not fire.”
The same applies to any semi auto not just glocks.
