i had bear meat once - at a guide camp in Maine....with the most racist guide/person ive ever met (another story perhaps)....found it greasy and it made for an interesting next day in the woods....it should suffice to say I came back without a t shirt as i had to tear it up into strips and “use” it
Shot a bear in Alaska and it had dark blue colored meat. It ate blueberries. Was so excellent I hunted bear in PA and got one from the city dump. Big difference. I’d like to buy a bear and turn him into a blueberry eater, cause the taste was so different. It all depends on what they eat and how you cook it.
