What do you do with that once beautiful animal? Do you eat the meat?

Looks like the pelt is in great shape for a spring bear. Over bait or spot and stalk?--KV

 

[sherlockbonez]

Nice pelt for a spring bear for sure. Gonna need a bigger wall.

It's still a beautiful animal, just not as frisky....

Good job Bruce, young enough to be good eating.

Now do me a favour and de-farmer the brim's on your ballcaps, I had a flashback to rural saskatchewan seeing yours.

Take care man.

I'm sure others noticed, but you were the first to comment. We were wearing the hats for a joke. I found them a couple weeks ago, both are in new condition and I would have to guess from the mid '80's by the straight brim, and high foamy top!

Spotted him from about 450 yards and closed in to ~125 for the shot, 1 shot from the 7-08 Ackley with 140 Accubonds.

Well first I do a bunch of knife testing by skinning, de-boning, and butchering the animal. I'll sell the hide to pay for more knife making supplies. Sometimes I eat the meat, but if the freezer is full of something better like moose or deer then I'll use it for dog food (kill a bear save a horse)

Ive never heard of anyone eating moose.

Is it better than elk?.

Moose is awesome! Especially if you get a 2 or 3 year old bull, they are nice & tender. I've only had elk twice. Elk has finer grained meat and is maybe less gamey (although moose is pretty mild too).

But them hats are stealing its thunder!

I keep threatening my GF that I'm going to wear it to one of our softball games

I don't know if I would say moose is better than elk, but I do know they are both terrific animals to eat. If I have elk or moose in the freezer, the venison and beef get given to other families and friends to eat. Of course the dog gets a little too...

Nice little blackie. The hats do add a nice touch I still have probably 15-20 hats like those. Never been worn, for obvious reasons

 

[kalama]

i gota ask what does bear taste like,we dont have bear,moose or elk here,i have tasted elk but never bear or moose,just wondering

 

[Skimo]

Bear tastes fine so long as they aren't eating trash, catch 'em when they've been in the berry patches, I want some bear ribs now.

Moose is like beef, but better, doesn't taste like it's little cousins.
