What to do with bear meat?

[crazydd4]

Going hunting in a month, what should I do with the meat, provided I kill one?

Bear is one of my favourite meats. It is a very dark meat, tastes like pork to me and if you smoke some roasts, it will taste like ham. That is my opinion only and I am sure you will receive a lot more. Also, don`t forget you might get yourself a dandy rug.

Hi Crazydd, spring bear opens tomorrow, April 15- May 15. The hide to these spring time bears will be in the greatest shape for makeing a bear rug or mount as opposed to harvesting a fall bear. The meat taste strong to me and it taste ok, not great,[&o]but there is other better eating meat out there but I would not waste any of it. Good luck and keep us posted on how you do. Bobby

I think bear is pretty good; just don' t forget to remove the fat and bone before cooking. Good eating.

Spring Black Bear meat is great in my opinion. I' m hoping to take one or two more this spring and plan to salvage all the meat. It is great in summer sausage and as roasts and steaks. Just make sure to cook it thoroughly due to possibility of trichinosis.

Good luck on your hunt!

Bear meat is great. Some of the best meat I ever had. Unless its an old male then its not so great.

Gee, I don' t know, maybe eat it? Just kidding, its very good. What were you going to do with it?

Eat it. Cook it throughly through, like pork, under cooked bear should NOT be eaten if you value good health.
