Bam pays the ULTIMATE PRICE

I was able to get within about 5 yards of this bear before she looked up. She was broad side to me so the shot was easy. After being hit she ran maybe 40 yards, she didn't even make it back to the fence.
Yor did to add a category C, one that eats what he or she kills. Any animal I kill will also be dinner.
The city people moving in around here are ALL tree huggers and know nothing of living here. Here is an example of them. An older couple built a million dollar plus home about two miles from my place. They have never spend a night in it. The day they were to move in they had a big party, as I was leaving I told them to clean the grill. They didn't and that night as they slept a bear came up on the deck, then in the house for they didn't even put the food in the frig. You could hear her scream all the way back to San Francisco and they left that night and have never been back. I repaired the damage for the husband and he has told me he will move back after his wife dies. He will also listen to those that live around here a little more carefully from now on. What a waste of a beauitful home.

Ouch. Sorry about your situation. Good shot with the arrow. I probably wouldn't want to get that close to a bear and would rather use a rifle

I'm glad that you are going to eat the bear, and not just dispose of its body somewhere. The bear can go to good use on your dinner table.

Wondered what bear meat taste like??? How do you cook em? From what I read from books, the meat was gamey, greasey and stringy and tough to eat...I figured you would have put them in the crock pot or stewing pot cooking for hours.....

I've had rabbits, squirrels, phesant, ostrich, emu and buffalo...they are all delicious! Particulary the burger kind!

Good shot, please answer post above and dont say it taste like chicken. Out here,( east coast) most say you cant eat deer killed in the summer(too many parasites and such), isn't it the same out there? Or is Bear good year round. What else do you do with bear, you said Bacon. steaks/roast/jerky I'm here to learn, doesn't have to be about chickens.

I know were I am in CT there were just 300 bears moved from western CT.If I shot one Id prob go to jail.Thats why id use a bow at the least if my fam was in harms way.Most of the time they just mingle threw and dont bother anything at all.I think alot of them have tracking thingys on there necks also?

i assume most hunters eat what they kill.

we're not on a safari 'round here!

i usually buy a pig every year (local fella raises about 100 of them for butchering every autumn) and I then trade for venison, duck, salmon, etc...

and i hear ya about the city folk who just don't get it.

at least the half million dollar homes they're building are bringing my property value up ...

i don't know if i would have had the courage to get that close to a bear. i remain very impressed.

Bear does not taste like chicken. It is more like pork, still a taste of it's own. It is very greasey, very much like a large pork roast that was from an old hog. We cut up a few roast, most goes in stews & bacon. If the meat is not cured properly I find the taste bitter. A crock pot works or roasted in the oven for a long time works.
It doesn't matter if it is bear, deer, pig oor beef, the meat has to be aged. That is why most hunters take their kill to a butcher shop, so the animal can hang in the cold locker. Anyone that has tasted freshly kill beef will tell you the taste is much different than what you buy in the store.
A lot of hunters kill for the sake of killing and not the meat. To prove this point go out in the Sierra foothills after deer season. Follow the buzzards and you will not only find deer without heads (the bucks) and dead doe with no meat cut off. Yes, there are hunters that don't eat their kill. Lizzardz said she lives in Grass Valley, not to far from where I live. If she goes north on Hwy # 49 towards Downieville and gets off on almost any of the old loging roads, she should find dead deer. They didn't die naturally.
If you catch it or shoot it EAT IT.

Good shootin' Panner123!

Sorry about your birds though.

 

[silkiechicken]

I agree, if you shoot it, make sure you do it right and if its good to eat. Eat it!

A non human example is that I am more mad when an animal comes up, kills a bird, eats neck meat and leaves, rather when animal comes up, kills animals, and all are left are entrails. At least the animal ate it's kill and it didn't go to waste.
