kirkl ...yup....that's all I ever do with mine...I go down to Safeway here...talk to the meat manager...he sell's me their pre-packaged spice's that they use in their sausage...I believe that 1 pack is mixed with 20 lb's of meat...I generally add a little more pepper in it...My wife and I use a food processor to grind it up. We cut up the meat into smaller chunk's...throw it in...hold down the button for about 10 second's...we can do a whole bear in less that 1 1/2 hr's. We do the whole bear like that....when the boy's were home...that bear would be gone in 3 month's..

How does bear taste???? I need know if the meat is worth hunting for I recently moved from Missouri to Arizona here in arizona there is a bear season I was thinking about trying to draw a tag.

The only bear meat I ate that wasnt pep stick or sausage was a smoked bear ham and it was pretty good, ive never just ate it like deer by cutting steaks out and frying it. They make good peperoni sticks thoug. The breakfast sausage should be good though.

Nice looking bear and a good picture as well.
Surprised to see such a nice coat in August. That has to make for some hot hiking.
Congrats on a good hunt for you all!

Well guess I need to pay a little more attention as to where people are from. For some reason kirkl I thought you were on the westside of the state. So I guess my question about a eastside tag is mute. You done filled it, agin congats on the bear. Also you might think about making some summer sausage out of some of the meat, might good stuff.

Pac, nope im from selah, which is about 1 mile north of Yakima. I live out in the country, I can watch elk out my back door with my spotter up on the hill side in the sage. Shot my buck last year a couple miles from the house as the crow flys. Its nice living out there. Makes scouting alot easier. My family is all on the westside north of bellingham thats why I go up there.
