Nice. Did you get any of the meat? The first time I ate black bear, it was awesome, but the meat from my friend's last one was really tough.

I don't hunt.

But i'm not a tree hugger (bear hugger) either. What do you do then...butcher them up? How is the meat? Take the hides and make bear skin rugs?

I deer hunt, thought about doing a bear hunt this year but I am just not interested. I eat everything I kill, so i am not in it for the trophy, )not that these guys were they are the same as me) but a lot of people kill just to mount it on their wall..I like to grill it!

Yup, off to the butcher they go, the meat can be oily (not bad for you at all) depends how you cook it. I like it, tastes good.
As far as rugs or what not, you can stuff the whole bear or make a rug, but contrary to popular belief, bear sking rugs are NOT that soft.

 

[pyonir]

I wouldn't suspect they are very soft. What are those guys going to do with these? Make rugs or stuff the whole bear? I'd assume you could get some good money for a rug?

 

[Armitage]

Interesting ... I've never seen one with a white patch on the chest like that.
A nice moose in that album also.

That is pretty unusual, but not uncommon, we have some balc bears here that are actually brown and there have been a few all white ones...

While I totally support deer hunts and other large-population animal hunts... Hunting an animal that's numbers are in severe decline is not, IMO, a good thing...

:beer:

Again, just IMO.

Also, I've never heard of eating Bear meat. Strange....

 

[SaigonK]

And bears might be in serious decline in your area, but not here in Maine. In 1998-1999 we had well over 23,000 black bears recorded. And the numbers are going up each year. We limit the time you can hunt now and in some cases location.

Bears are long-lived animals, capable of surviving 30 years in the wild. Their survival increases as they mature. Nearly half of newborn cubs may die before reaching their first birthday, with starvation being a major cause of death. By the time bears in Maine reach 2 years of age their survival exceeds 90%, and nearly all deaths of adult bears are due to hunting or other man-related causes.

As long as you eat what you kill and use the pelt, I don't have a problem with hunting. I personally perfer to hunt with my camera, but I don't have a problem with the other kind.

Those looked like some healthy bears! Where were they? Last bears I saw in Cali were raggedy looking...

Black bears are like squirrels in Northern Wisconsin. Oh Nice job on the hunt BTW. I have no prob with hunters who follow the rules and eat their game.

HUNTING IS HARD WORK!! I know I white tail hunt.

I've hunted deer, but bears are such beautiful animals...

 

[SaigonK]

They are Black Bears from northern Maine. Hunting is a pain in the arse, especially up here!

u favor hunting em around camp areas. nothing is annoying as a bear wander through campsites at night.

 

[Aimster]

I dont mind hunting, I do it myself...i dont believe in hunting for sport though...personally if i dont eat it, i dont kill it....its that simple...

I don't hunt, but only because I'd find it boring.
