One thing my Alaskan friends told me is that they only eat spring black bear. Never Griz or Brown bears and never after the salmon start running and the black bears diet changes to fish.
I made breakfast sausage and jerky out of the one I killed years ago. When we were in Alaska our host made black bear enchiladas and tacos which were wonderful.

A friend of mine offered to take us on a tour of the island in his bush plane. I really want to see a big bear. He sent me this picture a few years back.
