Really? They have almost every hallmark of a bad-tasting meat. Highly muscular, non-herbivorous diet, etc.

I mean, I'd still try it.

I've eaten bear. It's gamey as hell. Tried it multiple times and prepared multiple ways. The cooking methods that make it the most palatable are the ones that take forever like slow roasting and smoking. It's a very tough meat so it takes a lot of tenderizing methods. Large predator meat is typically not great eating.

Before everyone jumps on me for being a hunter, I am a native Ojibwe. I don't want to dox myself by revealing much more than that.
