If you know someone who has a pig roaster and they can cook pigs well on those things, try a whole bear on there. A friend of mine has done a couple for me. They are great cooked that way. The only way I will ever cook a bear again. If the bear is over 200 lbs. Not sure how good they are, but the ones under that size have a great taste to them. I have also heard from a few hunters in my area that canned bear meat is awesome too. meat sure would be tender that is for sure.
