Yes, they aren't mating in the fall and they aren't starved after a long winter. I like bear meat.
I've never had a good piece of boar bear meat -- but maybe that is just me.
Many years ago, my brother and one of his buddies took out a bear from our apple orchard. They had it skinned and butchered by the time the rest of us went to bed.
My brother and his friend decided to fry up some bear steaks in one of our mother's good cast iron pans. It not only stunk up the house, the pan had to be taken down to bare metal and re-seasoned. Even after re-seasoning in a wood fire for several hours, the pan still tasted like boar bear.
My brother is fortunate that he doesn't have a flat spot on his skull from my mother whacking him with the skillet.
