Is eating bear legal

Answer 1

I have eaten bear meat. It was from a big black bear, not a grizzly bear. Grizzly bears are protected--it would be illegal to eat one. Lewis & Clark shot one grizzly bear on their trek across the United States, then prohibited any more, because it took up so much shot and powder to bring the critter down. Bear meat does not taste like chicken. What I had was actually a bit rancid, unfortunately. Because bears are carnivores you can get trichinosis from under cooked bear meat.

Answer 2

well it depends, are you talking about the great white polar bear? or the oh so common grizzly bear found in Arkansas or something like that

but... if it is the gummy bear you are speaking of, then yes. indeed the bear is edible

Answer 3

That would depend upon the species of the bear and if it was taken legally. But, yes, eating bear is legal otherwise.

Answer 4

no, it is not

Answer 5

yes haven't you ever had bear jerky?

Answer 6

Not during legal hunting seasons, no.
