 I make bear bacon when I get a bear and I make Duck and Goose breast bacon all the time.

I am curious, how much does bear bacon taste similar to pork? They are two very similar animals and they forage and eat the same things. One would think the meat would be very similar as well. Obviously I've never eaten bear meat... my wife killed a bear in the Blue's by her families cabin before we met but I never got to try it and she said it was all made into summer sausage so she's unsure how it is any other way.

very similar, any dish I make with Pork I can make with Bear.  Depending on what they eat determines how they will taste.  The key is to get the hide off and get them cooled down then cut up and frozen. I hunt up on Mt. Adams and when they are in the berries there is no finer eating bear.  The group I hunt with we usually get one bear every other year.

Steven Rinella made bear bacon on Meat Eater a couple weeks back.  I believe he found part of the quarter that kind of looked like bacon, not the belly.

I have Eggers in Spokane do KC style bacon out of my bears.  :tup: It's very similar to pork KC style bacon. My friends at elk camp love it and my daughters go crazy for it. I also have them do hams and those are pretty darn good too
