Black bear hunting has been in practice since Norse tribes killed them with nothing more than a knife as a rite of passage for a young man. Bears were hunting for a variety of reasons, but most pertain to clothing and food. Pelts were much sought after items from bears. A bear's fur consists of two different layers, the underfur and the outer guard hairs. The underfur is soft and is primarily used for insulation needs. The outer guard hairs are just as they sound. They are long, thick, and coarse hairs that mainly serve to protect the body from insects and dirt as well as repel water.
Most hunters today don't care much for wearing bear pelts, but they certainly like the meat. During the Middle Ages, eating bear meat was more of a symbolic ritual than a culinary delight. The paws and thighs were considered to be the best parts. The Inuit tribe's primary food source is still polar bear meat. Contrary to what movies may show, polar bear meat is always boiled or baked, never eaten raw. All bear meats have a mixed review, as would be expected. The meat is greasy, has a coarse texture and has a sweetness to it that requires a certain palate to appreciate. Always remember, if you plan on eating any kind of bear meat, be sure to thoroughly cook it as it can contain parasites known as trichinella which can be dangerous to humans.
The fat of bears has a long history of uses. The Native American's and early American settlers both used it as a cooking oil. The fat can also be used as lamp oil as it only takes about 40-50 grams of it to last about an hour. Some Native American tribes used bear fat as a source of medicine. Covering oneself in the substance is a means of preventing colds.
Another component of bears that has been highly sought after, especially in recent times is the bear's gull bladder. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, Urso-deoxycholic acid [UDCA] taken from bear gall bladder, fresh bile liquid, or in dried crystal form, may work for rheumatism, poor eyesight and gall stones. They also claim this effective bile is produced by all bear species except that of the Great Panda.
Bear hunting of all types is rich in history and lore. Perhaps that is why so many are compelled to go on a bear hunt - it is a way of connecting with past hunters, probably even your ancestors.
Harold Sterling is a hunting enthusiast with many years of experience. He enjoys hunting in Canada primarily because of the beautiful scenery and the abundance of wild game. Though he loves to hunt, he has a lazy personality and also gets fairly upset when things don't go his way. To ensure he gets his trophy each and every time he heads out on a hunt, he looks to professional outfitters to provide him with the best experience possible.
