What Does Bear Meat Taste Like?
Posted by Darrell under: Black Bear; Alaska.

Posted by Darrell under: Black Bear; Alaska.
I received a call from a taxidermist in Juneau today. The timing was almost perfect as I had just talked to Keegan (Ocean Point Alaskan Adventures) about what to do with my hide. I really wanted to have it tanned here so I wouldn’t have to worry about it being damaged (temporarily lost and thawed out) […]

Big bear down! Today I was offered a chance at redemption and seized it. Here is the story.
