He did say that they taste like chicken.

I doubt if bear tastes like chicken.

B's brother kept on taking pieces of himself off in various hunting mishaps. You do not hunt carp with a machete unless you are very adept with one. He wasn't.
Had an outstanding bear stroganoff at a hunting camp in NH a couple years ago. If cooked correctly, it’s a delicious game meat.
