In
Babushka's Country bear hides were a coveted item. My Great-aunt Martha
told me the child who got to sleep on the bear hide at night was considered
very lucky. Bear meat shot in the fall was considered a very tasty dish.
The bear who has been eating blueberries has a tantalizing flavor. During
the summer the bear are eating salmon and the flavor of the meat is very
strong. Bear meat must be very well cooked as it may contain worms that
are very dangerous to your health. These photographs were also taken in
Denali National Park. The sleeping bear was the only bear close enough
for snapshots without using a large lens and multiplier. We watched one
bear actually kill some sort of small game. The eating bear is probably
dining on blueberries or tender roots.
