little quicker and you could have been eating road kill for supper --72.231.xxx.xxx

We have houses named like opossum, coon, bird, ice cream... but no Bear House and I don't think we ever will. --96.31.xxx.xxx

That isn't what the govt said - the bear died of COVID --24.101.xxx.xxx

Lucky you missed the road kill. I have relatives who are avid hunters and cook all sorts of game. Bear is greasy and gamey. --216.23.xxx.xx

I wouldn't be grilling that. --72.71.xxx.xx

It’s a good thing that it’s already under contract to sell. I might have to raise the price and update the listing. “wildlife abounds…… well sorta.” --174.249.xx.xxx

Poor Bear. That would have been a perfect opportunity to pet a bear. You could have gotten a bear rug out of that, but I hate the bear got killed. What does the car look like? --73.120.xx.xxx

Funny Ray. --73.120.xx.xxx

Lana is right. My uncle harvested a bear about 50 years ago, and his family ate bear meat for months. They served bear at some dinners I went to, and I much prefer venison! The bear meat was tough, gamey, greasy. --76.4.xxx.xxx

Yeah, wild game it’s all in how you cook it. A lot of people expect a tough muscle off of a deer bear to taste like filet mignon and it just doesn’t work like that. Sometimes we have to cook the crap out of it and put it in sloppy Joe’s or chili. --174.249.xx.xxx

I learned all of this from my Dad as I grew up on a farm where we butchered all of the meat and fish that we ate. He was a great hunter so I learned from him about hunting also and the proper way to humanly kill what we ate. --67.22.x.x

The more the muscle moves, the tougher it will be too and the slower it has to be cooked.. Shanks aren’t steaks. Filet mignon or back straps are great for high temp quick roasting, grill or sauté. Shanks have to braise low and slow all day. The sex of an animal can affect it too. A buck in rut can be stronger tasting too, especially if any of the scent gland gets into the meat. I haven’t shot a bear yet, but I’ve hunted and eaten them. I’m hoping for coyote one of these days. My wife worries sometimes about the food “shortages”. I tell her not to worry because we’ll eat roadkill. Haha. She knows I’m serious too. --174.249.xx.xxx

Heck with the meat, I've always wanted a bear skin rug. --209.16.xx.xxx

I heard the same as Ray... dead from Covid. Yeap that bear didn't make it to the line for the jab! --172.58.xx.xxx

Plenty and Ray, I’d still eat it. --24.152.xxx.xx

One night the news reporter said the St.Louis zoo animals were being given the jab... I guess wild animals are just out there! Did you harvest the bear meat? --172.58.xxx.xxx

No meat. The game commissioner took it. It would be illegal for me to take the bear anyway. I follow those laws. ;-) --24.152.xxx.xx

NE,funny I follow those laws which i believe you do but it was sitting in the driveway of a flip where you didnt get a single permit and rehabbed the whole place --72.231.xxx.xxx

Ken exactly! Hahaha. --24.152.xxx.xx
