Is all the waste in the system purged enough for a decent bear meat? lastly when there on some old nasty bait like overripe beaver ,will that not complicate the issue?
my last guide said it wasn't good ,not sure if it was a pain to additionally process or the thoughts from above>

All my bears have been shot in areas with no baiting so can’t judge that. I do know if they have been hit salmon rivers on the coast the meat is effected. I have not had any issues with spring bears do to being shot early but most are taken mid May on
Processing a bear you don’t want any bone or fat left on the meat. Another issue bear meat will taint faster than other game. A lot of bad bear meat stories come from this. How you cook it is another and you won’t find me frying up a bear steak like I would beef or other game meat. The safest way to eat bear for taste wise is sausage/pepperoni. Lots of guys only make bear into sausage
I am getting ready to go to work so I will stop there
