Bear down

[halfarod]

Grilling and stewing is basically what we do with, if cooked wrong it's not very good. But the past bears I've given the hides to people that wanted to tan them and I'd keep the claws.. I'll have this one tanned being its kinda special I got it with my flint. Thanks for all the kind words all

Nice work! Bear summer sausage is very good.

Well done Halfarod, congratulations! That is a fine looking bear an will make a nice rug. The fact that you took it with a flintlock makes it extra special. Keep yer powder dry........robin :bow:

Congratulations! :hatsoff:

I have read that this is a pretty good year because natural foods are lacking and baits are bringing them in. Is that what you found?

Yes the farm I hunt on had really poor berry crop this year, lots of bear coming to bait. Unlike last year was really hard hunting

Hey, happy for ya! Super hunt!

I think that is a great way to hunt bear. Might put that on the to-do list. Has anyone made sausages from bear fat and venison. I've added chicken fat or pork fat before, just wondering if bear fat might make them extra tasty?

Sorry IMHO yuk! Many others dis-agree Have skinned many and they look to be human may be my problem.

AGREED. DENSER than VEAL but similar to good VENISON, imVho.

I prefer my bear after several hours in my crockpots, with potatoes, onions, pepper & garlic.

Also makes GREAT stew.

yours, satx
