Not meaning to sound really dumb, but what is CoQ10?

You can get bear meat? <envious>

Good for you! Fresh is when it's the most nutritious. The same is

true of milk -- right out of the udder or from the udder into the

fermentation vessel is the way to go if you can.

Organ meats are by far the most nutritious parts of the animal, so

just be happy your body gave you a useful craving! As to parasites

and whatnot, I know you can tell whether a lot of them are there by

looking at the organ if you know what to look for. Maybe some more

traditional hunters could help you out? Or butchers?

-- only when bear is in season and we get one, or find someone who just

wanted the skin etc.. for a trophy and will let us have the meat.

Craving most likely instinctual, seasonal. You're right on the purpose

of hunting season now. Weather colder killing parasites and deer gorge

on the tannin, protein, fat filled acorns for winter fattening and

parasite killing. Cold and raw doesn't agree with me like raw and warm

either.
