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.

MSC, never did like that Lipton onion soup mix for the same reason...JK buddy . I've never tasted bear meat and only know 3 or 4 people who ever shot one (by the way, they never brought up the subject of eating them....hmmm).

The other spelling of "bear" is a completely different story though . Happy Holidays to you and yours. Be safe!!!

I traded a buddy some Elk for some moose meat. He said it's tough - it was a larger bull (Maine, 48" spread, 19 points if anyone is interested).

I have some burger, tenderloin and sirloin steaks. Recipe suggestions anyone?

Tony, I DO have a recipe for BBQ 'coon that is pretty good.

Not a specific recipe but with wild game I have always found to not over cook it and keep it moist. I marinate all of my wild game before cooking. Most likely not telling you anything you don't already know.

Bacon wrapped tenderloin is fantastic for moose.
