I don't have a lot ofexperience in skinning bear, but do in eating it. Prepare the meat as gandilamont said. Some find that bear is a bit too greasy for thier tastes. I know that bear makes some of the best grind meat you can get. If you don't like the steaks, take in in to the butcher and get hamburger, sausage, links, etc. made from it. Or grind it yourself if you have the equipment.
