[h20hunter]

Agreed Curly....no....I don't have the crony data from these loads. My 130s.....yes..........Good point about the WSM...

[BOWHUNTER45]

I hate to say it Bh....I've need nodding my head a lot more lately reading your stuff. I happen to agree with you on the 130's and 140's.......I know....Soon I'll have my own dog named Warden!

I know ...but the good thing about that is there is no other like him  Can not wait until fall ..To blow my whistle and yell Warden ...lmao !

I can 2nd the Hornady superformance IB doing lots of damage, had a bear last yr that obliterated the shoulder on the exit.  Bone fragments everywhere, and a hole about 6" across!  Blacktail buck last fall in the brisket out the rear quarter, close shot so not a lot of expansion both dropped like a sack of potatoes...

what type of bullet ?? SST or interlocks ...never had much damage with Interlocks ...SST ...Yes but if you tone down the load you can change that problem real quick ...Lot of guys want that speed ...I could careless about making bullets scream ...I load for accuracy not speed ...obviously speed does a lot more damage .. I have a few Interlocks I recovered out of bears ...I need to dig them up ..

Interbond, same ballistic as SST just a little different bullet, suposed to penetrate a little better.  use 165 grain out of 30-06 close to 3000 f/ps at the barrel prints a 1" group out of the tikka

So...the butcher took it upon himself (after we discussed options and I gave him plenty of free reign to do so) made two corned bear roasts. This saturdy I took said roast out of the bag, rinsed it off, threw it in the crockpot with a sliced onion, a few cloves of garlic, two cups of water, a bottle of beer, and a pack of italian seasoning. I let that baby cook most of the day and turned it down to med about mid afternoon. Dinner time came along and I pulled it apart, chucked a few pieces of silverskin, served it up with some grilled bread and fresh sweet corn. Hold the phone it was killer! Good and salty, very tender, and very mild when it comes to the game flavor. Leftover corned bear went into some scrambled eggs with some spicy chedder, taters, and veggies for a fritta style omelet yesterday morning.

So, moral of the story....if the butcher asks if you want to try a little corned bear say yes! I've got one more.....I'll take pics of it next time I cook it.

   Sounds good. 

[runamuk]

sounds yummy

[gaddy]

my only bear, the guy doing it asked what I wanted & we went over options.
the stuff he recommended was awesome. steaks, roasts, berger etc...
never understood why people just go for sausage & pepper sticks.

[Mr Mykiss]

Bear backstrap on da treagar marinated in some spicy Chinese fish sauce was also excellent!!

Can't remember.......

He asks to remain a mystery.....sorry.

[Turner89]

I'm going to try that next time.......sounds good. I had bear steaks tonite.....they were great. I'm glad these bears taste good, because my freezer is full    The first bear I shot was disgusting ........It had been in the salmon. I  will nver shoot a bear that is near spawning salmon again.

[h20hunter]

Last weekend we had some kabobs.....bear and deer....little olive oil...salt and pepper....declicious.

So the bear sticks didn't make it home intact. I ate half the package while sitting in construction on 92. Looking forward to attacking the teriyaki next...
