Dan_Harris Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Saw this on the news. Some protesters have invited rock bands to come and practice in the woods to scare off the bears and annoy the hunters. Quote
willstrickland Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I like hunting bear...bare ass! Â Â When I hiked the AT, the most bears I saw were in NJ, and there aren't even many miles of trail there. Â The bear population is too big. Whatcha gonna do? Kill a few, only stands to reason. Bear hunting is cool, especially with a bow and if you eat the meat and make a rug...no wasted parts, that's the best respect you can give to the bear. Without a hunting season for them you're only going to have problem bears getting killed by govt personnel because they have to kill them. I'd rather Billy Bob and Joe Bob go kill them for free, than have my tax dollars pay a govt employee to kill them and waste the meat/hide/etc. Â Let one of those nancy-boy protestors face down a bluff charge when the sucker is rampaging his car in the driveway, or ransacking the garbage can because the population is too big for the habitat. See how suzie feels then. Quote

Did you know that bear meat is the largest source of trichinosis in the US? Trichinosis goes like this in bears: Black bears have the least count per gram of body tissue, then comes grizzley having a slightly increased count and finally polar with a huge amount of the critters in their body tissues. Theory is the more carnivorous the bear the more trichinosis per gram of body tissue. Best bet on eating any bear meat is cook slowly in a crock pot and serve as a stew. I guess you could do the loins as a roast but again cook long and slow so its tender. Quote
allthumbs Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Sisu, wouldn't it be safer to cook at a high heat to kill the trich? Quote
RobBob Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 There was an old lady who cooked in one of the hunting camps I used to go to as a kid. She "par boiled" everything to tenderize it. Shit, I even ate some par-boiled nutria once I think. Quote

catbirdseat Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 No you don't want to crunch into one of those trichinella cysts. You want them to be tender. Quote
griz Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Hmmm... and New Jersey used to be such a nice place to visit for my type... Another fine neighborhood gone to hell... Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 One time before banned camp I drove through Jersey. There was lots of snow but nothing else interesting... Â Shoot the Jersey bears Quote
Fairweather Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I don't know why bear hunting bothers me so much. As you know, I'm no soft-hearted, meat is murder goof-ball. And I while I have never personally shot a large mammal, I have killed my share of wing'ed creatures, and I have been an armed observer on a few deer and Elk hunts and enjoyed it a great deal. I certainly have travelled armed in Bear country, and wouldn't hesitate to shoot a bruin that was clearly (very clearly) a threat to my party. Â All that said, I just can't understand why anyone would hunt bears. They seem to posess a higher level of intelligence than most other game animals and I don't see them as anything but a 'persecuted' species much like wolves. Ditto big cats and Mountain Goats. Quote
Dru Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 wolf is just a type of dog, anybody got some kim chee? Â it says here in this issue of "Northwest Discovery" that when Henry Custer and Mitchly and Thiusoloc wrere shooting grizzlies on Tomyhoi that the tongue of the grizzly is the best tasting part. Â HOWEVER: it is biologically inefficient to eat predators due to loss and entropy along the food chain. much more efficient to eat 10 elk than the 1 wolf that ate the 10 elk. not to mention that toxins bioaccumulate up the food chain, which is why the Makah stopped eating whales. predator meat is often toxic.....

Cpt.Caveman Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 What are the bears eating in NJ? Berries and shit. Â KILL ALL BERRIES AND SHRUBS WITH A MACHINE GUN AND NAPALM NOW Quote
Fairweather Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Wouldn't AGENT ORANGE be more effective for that? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 Sure whatever eradication you like Quote
