Ever since I immigrated to the U.S. in 1973........I have read hundreds of hunting/shooting magazines and I have NOT read an article where a brown/grizzly/Kodiak bear was butchered/cooked for human consumption. BUT I have read many articles where the black bear was butchered and cooked and eaten and the comments were that the black bear is delicious. It seems that if the black bear is edible............that the brown bear should also be likewise................or is this just a case of hunter aversion that was passed down through the generations. i.e. that it is more cultural than culinary for the disparity between black bear consumption versus brown bear B-B-Q's.
It did not dawn on me until yesterday that there is this gulf between black bear consumption and brown bear non-consumption.....................or is there brown bear/Grizzly bear consumption among Alaskans/others that we never read or hear about in the news???
Your reply is appreciated
