Bear Oil

[Juniata]

I'm going to be doing some rendering from my bear, probably next week. I have about 30 lbs that I took from it, although I'm sure it had over 100 lbs. I just don't need that much so I gave it to whoever wanted it and tossed the rest for nature to take care of. I'm sure I will give a lot of it away, seems it's in high demand even for people who don't hunt.

I've never done it before, is there any trick to rendering aside from not heating to hot?

Watch clay newcombs stuff on YouTube. He's got good videos on it. (Bear hunting magazine)

Did my first batch today, rendered a 1 gallon ziplock bag down and got almost 3 quarts from it. Looks like nice stuff, beautiful golden color and has a great flavor! The cracklings with some cajun seasoning salt is excellent as well...
