[QUOTE="atl5029, post: 1231038, member: 84273"] I drive bears with a group of guys in PA, and we've taken bears from 150-500+ pounds. The little ones are obviously better eating then the big boars, but in my experience it's the bear's diet that determines how good it is. The bears where we hunt feed mostly on the things the deer do - acorns, crops, berries, etc. The small bears taste just like venison, just fattier. The big ones taste about the same, but the meat is a lot darker and can be tougher. That's nothing a slow cooker or grinder can't fix. You can get good meals from a big bear, just don't expect to eat a lot of steaks on the grill....more like stew, pot roast,burgers, and sausage. On the other hand, some of my friends also hunt near an area of PA where there are a lot of trout hatcheries, and the bears eat a lot of fish. They tell me the bears around there taste like absolute garbage. So if you know what the majority of the bear's diet is, you can get an idea of how good it would be, no matter the age. [/QUOTE]
