Yes, black bear. Spring vs Fall season controlled hunts.Never heard of 'spring bear'.
Black yes.
Brown yes, but I'm guessing 'spring bear' is the same as black?
Mal. and Master, thank you both for your responses.
More questions, please: I watch Alaskan family shows and in them they shoot black bears for their meat.
I wonder, how does it compare to beef? Or pork even?
Or, is it completely unique in flavor/texture?
Thanks!
Decided to go bear hunting on Wednesday as the season is almost over. Tired, hungry, and not paying much attention to anything but my feet I was heading to my lunch spot. In the shade where I couldn't see because I was in the sun I almost walked into a very large jet black bear walking away from me down the road, eating grass as he went. He didn't hear me as there's a creek right off the road making noise and the wind was in my favor. I rarely shoot things anyway but I was nervous my down loaded 308 with 130's might not be up to the job as he was a BIG one. I sat on the other side of the road 25 feet away and thought it over and decided not to shoot him. He finally winded me and crossed to my side and went up the hill into the timber. I ran up the road about 50 yards to a cutback old skid and waited for him but he saw me and turned around and waddled into some very thick reprod into which I did not follow.Heading out on the last day of deer season I found bear tracks on top of my tracks going in that morning so I put in for spring bear and got drawn.
