    You figure there are fall bears on this island with 'no access to fish'? I dont think so.
    When in doubt, just pin it.

    This is a poll offered up by a known anti hunting troll that spewed BS every chance she/they had.
    They mined this site for info to be used against the hunting community.

    Hunters like to hunt bears.
    Hunters like to eat bears.
    The end.

    Your lack of experience and knowledge is shining through once again.

    There are many areas that bears inhabit that preclude access to fish.
    Some are due to location (alpine, heavy forests a long way from fish bearing rivers etc.
    Others are by choice - as in the ones I usually take.
    Certainly these latter bears could wander a ways and find the odd salmon in a creek or two.
    Or they can maintain their focus on orchards, gardens and crops which offer a bounty without the effort involved in fishing.

    None of the bears I have killed over the past few years had any fish odor or taste to them whatsoever.
    As opposed to those that live right next to salmon bearing rivers which do.

    Might want to educate yourself just a little before spewing off the next time...

    Re: Do you eat bear meat??

    Got my first 42 years ago. At time where I lived they were considered vermin, just large rats that lived at the dump which was the only place where most people saw them. I was considered some kind of weirdo for actually shooting one to eat.

    By the way, this was on northern Vancouver Island and I would shoot them along salmon streams just when they got there to eat fish. Their droppings were all like huge salal berry pies and seeing as they had been eating greens and then berries all summer, they were delicious and not fishy at all.

    They might have been fishy at this time of year (Nov.30) after two months of eating fish, but not in early October.
