I don't hunt them anymore, but if I did it would be because I'd kind of like to have one really nice bear rug. As far as the meat goes, I've eaten bear meat ONCE. Like frog legs, I won't eat it again.
Yes, bear meat can vary from bear to bear. I have it all made into pepperoni sticks, can't go wrong with that. Delicious. Great trail food, don't have to cook it, just chow down. I learned the hard way that if you do get a bear for the hide, man you got to get that hide right off and start processing it right away, or the hair will slip.
I probably won't shoot another for a long time, and then I'll go back to looking for the perfect "specimen". This last one was just a medium sow, that was starting to raid camps. Probably a problem bear from some campground somewhere else. I shot it because it was raiding a camp with a little girl. The people were having trouble scaring it away, and when they did it would come back an hour later. !!!
