Every august i gorge on fresh berries. Im out in the mountains hunting, and i just eat the fuck out of huckleberries, blueberries, thimbleberries, service berries all day. Thats what keeps me going when im bear hunting. No need to carry food in my pack. Guarantee primitive man feasted on seasonal fruits too. Humans are opportunistic omnivores. At least we were. Ow it seems were mostly walking garbage disposals
Heh! Yup.
That was an interesting read. Question, I haven't spoken to a bear hunter before. I presume you cook bear, is that correct? Can you describe what cooked bear tastes like? I hear bears that have had access to blueberries taste the best ... is that true?
You have to cook bear (and cougar) just like we grew up cooking pork not rare. Due to the risk of trichinosis. Exact same reason you wouldnt eat rare pork. But bear can be cooked well without getting dry like beef or deer. Bear meat is very mild flavored. No "gamey" taste that turns some people off from deer or elk. My mom always wants me to give her bear meat, and she is not a fan of deer or elk. But i have to specify, im eating inland mountain bears. They eat berries, baby deer/elk/moose, rose hips, shit like that. Theyre not getting into peoples garbage, or eating fish and skunk cabbage like coastal bears. I am certain the flavor of bear meat would be much different from a coastal or suburban bear.
Pigeons eat garbage and they taste like DORITOS® FLAMIN' HOT® Limón brand corn chips.
Aha, interesting. Thanks dude, I will try to find a source here locally to give it a try.
