This first bear became a rug, about 10 good sized roasts and about 60 pounds of summer sausage. Excellent eating!


This second bear is becoming a rug, and we are working off the last of 60 pounds of hot links... even better than the summer sausage... and the roasts and steaks are gone.


I will actively try and get a bear every year now mainly for the meat. Even if it means shooting a 5 footer, I' ll try and get a larger one with one of the other three tags we get every year.
