| Rufous:
At least four of my shots connected. I did not do an autopsy to really find out. I was using the Beartooth 345 WLNGC at 1150 fps using H110. Rufous. |

Every time I kill an animal and skin it, I learn exactly where my shots entered and exited, so I learn what to do better next time. Do you steak out your bear, or send to the grinder? |
| Rufous:
I just had sausage made. I have had the butcher make some smoked bear hams in the past and my wife cooks them in a crock pot. Very tasty. The steaks though have always been tough and a disappointment. Rufous. |

I shot my first bear this last august, skinned it quick, packed it out in the dark, and cooled it quickly. I butchered the meat like I would a deer, and found the meat to be very segmented, with many different muscle groups like I read about. I found the meat to be excellent table fare, as did my wife and two kids. I wrapped and froze the meat in "family sized portions" (stole this quote from Ted Nugent...). We have been cooking this wonderful meat in stews, pan fried for breakfast steaks, "shishkabobed" over charcoal. The bear was a small one, maybe this is why I found it good? Question for the bear experts, any issue with a large bear not making good eats? I cant wait until the bear opener! |

Fantastic looking bear. I like the handgun hunting. |
