Just to be clear... I'm not against hanging meat until you have a chance to deal with it. I just don't think hanging it to age it to change flavour or texture is necessary.

Agreed....

I love hunting bears, I can do it as day trip from home and there's an extra season that times perfectly for when I've got the "out of season blues" ! What's not to love ! Well I guess I have to admit I don't absoulutaley love the meat, but I make it tasty enough into pepperoni, jerky and smokes, so it's all good.....although I can only eat so much of that "treat meat" so a 2 bag limit is plenty for me, but the population could handle an increase however I doubt many hunters would take advantage of bagging more than 2. Can't wait for April, hoping to get my son his first bear this season !

Edit: I tried load some past pics...they are in my gallery here on HBC but I cant figure out how to move them anymore

Wow. That bear has a lot of fat on it Iron !

Agreed.

And i certainly wouldn't hang anything for 10 days at 10*C

I can attest to the size of those bears, they were very respectable .
