I know that people hunt them, but do they eat them or just use them for their fur, etc?

If they are hungry enough, yes.
But seriously, bears are edible if well cooked. But they are not very tasty. They are best if slaughtered in the fall.
I've had bear meat myself, can't say I really enjoyed it.

Do People Eat Bear

Just like all hunting, some people hunt for sport (fur, antlers, horns, mounted heads), and some people hunt for the meat. You can eat bear, indeed, for some it is a valuable source of meat, such as the Intuit. However, certain parts of certain bears are not good for you. For example, polar bear livers contain toxic levels of Vitamin A. On the other hand, the fat provides the Inuit with a source of Vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids.
I've eaten Black Bear. A cousin brought some that he had barbecued to a family reunion once. I found it quite delicious.

No. Bears generally eat people. Actually I think some woodsmen do eat them.

Yes, people can and do eat 'bear meat' ... and it's really very tasty. I've eaten it, but have never 'hunted' any bear, because I'm a person who couldn't 'kill and/or eat' anything I saw alive and 'in its fur' ... nor will I ever wear any fur that isn't at least 'two generations dead' when I first see it.

There are people that eat bear! Some have told me that it's delicious! I've never tried it and don't intend to.

People do eat them, especially in very rural areas, and when times are tough- but it's a fatty, tough meat to eat.

Bear meat is delicious, a bit gamier than beef, but the same texture and is easy to prepare.
