Bears will always have something, whether you can see it or not. I have always been confused why some people actually pay to get bear meat tested for trichinosis... it's super common and even if the test is negative, you still need to take the same precautions because of other parasites.
Enjoy your bear meat. Looking forward to any pics or stories from your hunt... caddisguy likes stories
Trichinella? Trichinosis/Rinella hybrid??
The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.
