What do you all think this bear?

IMHO black bear is one of the best tasting game meats, provided they live in the bush and don’t have access to any human garbage. Those I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole.
Bear lard makes some of the best pie dough you will ever eat. The hide also makes good leather for fur mitts and hats not just rugs.
We used to render bear fat when I was a kid. Made great boot oil for water proofing hiking boots too.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
