Thanks for the replies. I did a search on here about eating them. One person had a really bad experience from it (trichinosis - from undercooked bear meat), and the rest seemed equally divided between awful and great.
I eat all the animals I kill - deer, elk, buffalo, antelope, oryx, barbary sheep, squirrel, rabbit, and pheasants. I had never had bear and was pondering that thought. Sounds like I will be eating it and too pay attention that it is not undercooked in the least!!!
Again, thanks for the replies.
