It is really no different then pork so far as the animal's diet goes. And like you say, texture and flavor comes close to most other red meat.
I haven't eaten a lot but enough to not turn it down is it is offered to me.
I might even butcher one for myself one of these days. Only, not s spring bear. I was raised to believe that the best bear was one that had been feeding on berries and oats. In other words, a late summer or early fall bear.
I do know a family that eat bear taken any time bears are active, and they seemed to have no preference. Maybe there is no appreciable difference.
But I'm old school, I stick to what I know unless I have good reason to try something new.
