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.
Sort of like a cross between a musk ox and a white rhino. Of course it will vary with their diet. If they have been eating a lot of carrion, the tend to be a little gamey.
