I guarantee I NEVER shot another goose again and gave up duck the year after. I did shoot a bear about two miles or more from the area dump, and I got a whiff of the thing while dressing and didn’t chance eating it. Gave it to a buddy who ate the meat and said it was “Interesting.” I translated that as ‘I don’t know if I don’t like bear meat or I didn’t know how to cook it’.
i had bear meat once - at a guide camp in Maine....with the most racist guide/person ive ever met (another story perhaps)....found it greasy and it made for an interesting next day in the woods....it should suffice to say I came back without a t shirt as i had to tear it up into strips and “use” it
