Whaaaat? Spring bears are shedding and matted. Fall is when an animals coat is in it's prime, shiny new growth ready for winter. As for meat spring bears have used up most of their fat wintering over and eating little. Hardy the best meat harvest time either. But I'm with most of the rest of the animal world. I don't eat the meat of predators. Duck Dynasty types will eat predators and probably roadkill too. Go figure..
