The general thing you'll hear people say about bear meat is it's greasier, right? So it has this weird thing, and that can be off-putting. It's not gamey, though. If you get a whitetail deer, and it's not processed properly, or you get it during the rut, then you'll get that classic gamey taste. That'll smell weird. But a normal non-deer, or non-poorly processed deer, it was going to taste fine.

Bear will be the same way. So if you get it when it's been feeding on a bunch of rotten salmon, then it's not going to taste tremendous. But you'll know it pretty quickly. But on average, if we had lunch right now and I made it for you, you would have had no idea.

You'd eat it, whether we're eating like the steak or the burger of it or whatever the case, you'd be like, you wouldn't have had any idea of what I just put in front of you. If I gave you something like axis deer, then you'd be like, that's the most delicious thing I've ever had. What the hell is that? But you wouldn't be like, oh my God, I feel like I just ate a deer. You would have no idea.

Of course. If my kid was right there and he'd be like, do you eat bear? They would be like, Yeah, like what? Like they wouldn't have any reaction at all to be like, of course, because they don't know any different.

Not everything, but we try to for the most part. Do you ever go to Whole Foods? No. I haven't been to a grocery store in many, many years.
