Whatcha Eating?

So is bear anything like deer? That would be the closest thing I had to it. It looks pretty rich.

Depends some on what they have been eating. A bear that's getting most of its calories wrecking someone's corn field will taste different than 1 that scavenging acorns primarily.

That's the same with everything. Chicken eggs even vary from spring to fall.

I had a coworker, a few years back, who's brother hunts bears. She one day brought in a batch of bear jerky, and, as luck would have it, I was on vacation that week.
To this day, still have yet to try bear meat.

I've tried it once and I found it to be really oily. BBQed however so it wasn't terrible.

^^THIS! Goes for any other animal too. Deer meat around here takes a lot of prep work beforehand as they eat acorns primarily. Whereas when I lived in Indiana, and those fat bastards ate corn and soybeans, they tasted almost like grain fed beef.

I hear the ones taken from fruit orchards are the tastiest.

I can see that. I can't stand wild hog. But a friend goes down to GA to thin them out on a farm that raises sorghum. He says a small sow (150lbs or so) put in the smoker is amazing.

I feel like there is a sweet spot for any pig. Too small and they haven't put on enough fat to stay moist during the cook. 100lbs + pig things are getting. good

When I make chili it's always the big pot. Gotta have room .. 4lbs of bear, and 2.5lbs of pork belly to make sure there was plenty of fat in there.View attachment 266187

Ok, @Chubaka , take note that all the cheese are  melted.

my favorite ice cream for this time of the year... except I still froze my fingers off. But it was worth it

I could have sworn you were flipping somebody off when I was reading HPIguy's comment above

Venison is very tasty around here but as mentioned it's all in how it's prepared.
Unfortunately, it's high in iron so I can't eat it anymore.
