bear season

[gatodoc]

One of my employees found a bear track in her horse barn 50 yards from her house yesterday morning...She lives right on Hwy 27 S just South of Rockwood...

Also a hiker was attacked recently on the Appy trail...

I can't wait to get my cameras out and see what kind of bruins I've got roaming around my lease. I had a giant one last year.

Friend works for the railroad, goes through bitter creek area just above harriman regularly, says they see them frequently crossing tracks.

BEER season in TN is starting to ramp up too!

I wonder if TN, or any SE state will ever have a Spring bear season?

Does any state South East of the Mississippi have a Sping season?

My bud got one 2 yrs ago while bow hunting deer in upper east TN. Said it tastes good, but kind of greasy. Mount job cost him a few bucks too. i think about $1800.00....

good stuff ! i'd say it taste like chicken but it doesn't. a big factor in how a bear tastes is directly impacted by what it is eating. fruit and berries, eat that bear. if it smells like fish, leave it alone. unless u enjoy fishy tasting meat. fishy meat is best left for the eagles, they gotta eat too.

for cuts i like to shoot a bear between 125 and 200 pounds. larger bears i just strip the back straps and grind the rest into sausage saving maybe a roast or 2. next bear i shoot i may just save the paws for soup. got a recipe that is tantalizing me.

the absolute best pastries you will ever eat has rendered bear lard in it. i have never rendered the lard myself but have had the pleasure of pastries and pie dough.
