yearly visitor shows up early

Nice.
Bear meat sucks btw.
I'm betting Bambi doesn't hang around with that big black bastard stinking up the woods.
They would always ruin our hunts. Any time one would show up, you could guarantee no deer would show up.
 
Nice. My buddy was showing me one trying to get into his deer feeder up near Elkin(ish).
 
Man I tell you they look small until you walk up on one standing in a trail. Then my normally bad-ass gun-toting deer-killing wife slinks up behind me and asks if I will take out my gun lol.
I was tempted to tell her "this is my rifle, this is my gun...."

If you take care to prep it right, it's pretty dang tasty. But similar to groundhog. There a for sure technique.

Mostly boiling the meat to get the fat out. Before making a stew pot or "bbq" style cooking. Just ends up so danged greasy if not...

Now skinning/processing the nasty smelling, greasy bastages (gag) is not for the faint of heart/stomach:D

Boiling it is an outdoor only adventure.
Stinks to high heaven. Not my idea of a game animal.

Wanna get beat by granny til her wooden ladle breaks?

Try to boil/render bear meat in her kitchen:eek:

She will put the fear of God in ya lol.

Now render it right, she will happily use the next phase:D

Ask me how I know:oops:

Haven't had NC bear, I know diet matters, interior AK black bears were dang tasty. They were also spring bears so there wasn't much if any fat on them.
