Default RE: Do you shoot a Bear?

Take 4 Bear Chops [about 1/2" thick] salt and pepper to taste and brown both sides in an oiled skillet and set aside. In 2 quart pot or Dutch Oven combine 1 can of Campbell' s Cream of Mushroom Soup with 1/2 cup of Creamy Peanut Butter. Slowly heat to a slow simmer then add Bear Chops and deglaze the skillet with a couple tablespoons of Red Wine [your choice] and add to the pot. Make sure the chops are thoroughly covered with the soup mixture. Cover the pot and allow to simmer [stirring frequently if necessary to prevent burning] for one hour or until chops are thoroughly cooked [and probably fork tender].

If you try this recipe, I guarantee that if you properly care for the bear after it is killed, promptly and properly process the meat, you will have a new respect for bear meat and this question will be answered.

Remember however, that Bear are members of the pig family, and all their meat must be thoroughle cooked.
