Re: Bear question
Shoot all three ! <with a camera of course. I was at the Check ststion in tobyhanna 6 years ago a hunter arrived with a cub weighing less that 40 lbs !while it was a legal kill the yelling from bystanders made him slither under a rock ! I personally would pass and hunting isnt all about hunting its about enjoying the outdors .And if your looking for a big bear ( I have two to my credit ) Hang about 1 mile into gamelands that are close proximity to developements they are in abundance !

Re: Bear question
You must be near me(Carbon County). Since the xtra-xtra bear seasons, they have thinned out somewhat, but still plenty around. I kind of think that is why the Game Commission put the bow-bear season through. Get closer to the developments to hunt. If you want to hunt bear, now is the time and this is the state to do it in.

Re: Bear question
Just don't shoot the one with the pick-a-nic basket.

Re: Bear question
Pennsylvania has the biggest bears in the lower 48 states.
Sticks and stones will break my bones but hollow points expand on impact.

Re: Bear question
I have a bear question: Who eats the shit? From what little I've eaten and people I've talked to it's the worst meat you could possibly end up with. As Crocodile Dundee would say, "You can eat it but it tastes like shit".

Re: Bear question
Well they are either shooting bears that are eating trash, or solely dead animals. Bears that have a wide varity diet of berries, acorns and the occasional meat small animal taste great. Bears killed in areas that have large amounts of blueberry fields taste and smell sweet and their fat has a purplish blue hue to it. Alaskan black bears that have been feeding on hundreds of lbs of dead salmon taste like dead rotten fish. Other then diet, I think it really depends on how an animal is cleaned, and then butchered and from what I see a guy charging $50.00 to $100.00 to process your game is going to give you a $50-$100.00 job. Then there is choice of cut and cooking. Venison back strap is excellent, a regular venison steak is shoe leather at best and a waste of a cut on the animal.
While I have not killed a bear personally I have eaten it in the forms of smoked hams and it was excellent.Join the GOA & save $5.00. https://www.gunowners.org/mac-subs-join-goa.htm

Re: Bear question
I've had bear that tasted quite good, and some that didn't. As with most things it's how you prepare it. Not just cooked, but handled after being harvested. Bear needs to be well cooked, so it limits the meals. I have never prepared it myself but would like to some day.

Re: Bear question
On a side note if anyone in my region happens to shoot a bear and there is a sufficient amount of fat and you plan on just throwing it out please let me know. I will come to you just for the fat. Once rendered down bear grease is supposed to be excellent for frying and cooking and an excellent alternative to man made poisons other wise known as canola and vegetable oils.
