Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 3536400, member: 7631"] I’ve had bear a couple of times, and it was delicious. Two things in general to point out, though. Bears have varied diets, and the flavor of the meat can vary quite a bit depending on that. But more importantly, how an animal is hunted can make all the difference. I once got some deer meat from my in-laws. They’d let someone hunt on their land. I braised a bit of it, which was awful. So I put it into. batch of chili. Still awful. I doubled the recipe. I threw out two gallons of chili. When I asked my inlaws about it, they’d found the same thing. Turns out the hunters used dogs to run the deer, and it had enough lactic acid in in its system to ruin the meat. [/QUOTE]
