Well my first wife who did the cooking was taken away by cancer, and I don't know what happened to the recipe book we had made up. I can tell you that we usually mixed it with deer and a lot of it went into pizza and a 50/50 ground mix with venison to make meatloaf that was superb we also barbequed some of it on the grill. Spring bear right out of hibernation is the best fall bear is very fat and you want to cut the fat off like you should on deer for the best taste. Lee
