Bear liver is amazing.
Strongly disagree. Bear is the worst tasting game meat we have in this state. Especially after they get into the fish after spring. Horribly greasy, nasty, little bastards. Only bears I ever shoot are the ones threatening life or property. Even then I donate the meat to an old lady who runs a lodge near one of my cabins. She feeds it to her sled dogs. She claims if you add enough suet and make sausage that it's tolerable. I'll stick with moose.........or literally any other animal.

Bear may taste different down there though, diet and such, who knows. But I'd rather buy meat than eat one. And I never buy meat.

As you said, heavily dependant on their diet. When I was a kid living in BC we got a young black bear that had been gorging itself in peach and apple orchards, it was delicious. On the other hand, dumpster diving bears taste like trash.

can't say i have, and i'll keep it that way :)
As you should. One of the only foods I've had that brought me near vomiting from taste alone. My palate instantly recoiled in horror, and my digestive system rapidly tried to flee, pulling at the sinew and muscle that keeps them confined, wrenching from side to side, burbling in protest, and knotting up in a dull ache as though I had been kicked in the dick.

Never again.

Muktuk is usually Bowhead Whale, but I think some Native folks harvest Beluga and other species as well, and I'm sure they gobble down every horrid little bit of those creatures so I'm sure Beluga Muktuk is out there somewhere.
Mine was pickled. Not bad.
