What would you do if you happened to witness a car crash that injured no humans but mortally wounded a black bear?
If you’re Jackson Landers, you finish the bear off with a hunting knife (!), skin it (!!), and eat it (!!!): “…once I began running it through the meat grinder, the stuff became a household staple. Think bear tacos, spaghetti with bear sauce, lime-marinated bear stir-fry served over ramen noodles.”
Perhaps it makes sense that Landers is both a predator-vanquishing huntsman and a gourmet chef—the dude wrote an entire book called Eating Aliens about capturing and cooking invasive species.
