Just remember to take into the woods with you someone you don't particularly like and that you can out
run, that way you only have to out run them and not the bear!!
Many snows ago, I hunted rabbit and then fed the kids (8) 'Chicken' stew. They really liked it with carrots, potatos, celery, and onion. Then one evening, a son happened to bite on a lead pellet (#6 shot) and exclaimed, "This isn't chicken, it's rabbit!" I haven't made "Chicken" stew since. (It was really good.)
