Butchering bear
I'm going on a bear hunt in a few weeks, and i need some pointers on how to butcher a bear. I have cut up my own deer for years, i have that down pretty good. Do you cut up a bear the same as a deer? For example: hind quarters and back straps are steaks, tenderloin is cooked whole, the neck is cubed up for stew, and the rest of the carcass gets picked clean for the meat grinder. Can bear be cut up the same way? I keep reading that bear is best cup up into cubes for stew. I know that fall bear is like a coon caught in the fall....covered in gooey fat lol and it ALL has to be trimmed off. Any pointers?
