Cook for 55-60 mins and let pressure drop by itself and you will have the tastiest meat you ever ate. And it will fall apart.
This is the same recipe I use for beef and venison. It's delicious.
It doesn't really matter. Bear hunting sucks around here. Too many hunters, and not enough bears. No baiting, so sneaking up on them with a lot of hunters around is a pain. Getting close enough for a PRB makes it worse. It's a rifle season, so i'm with rifle hunters who can take long shots. I also like to hunt up high at timberline. Bears aren't there, so I have to go lower for them where the majority of hunters are.
I'll just stick with elk. I know they taste good, and I can hunt in solitude up at timberline.
