So after 158 lbs hanging weight at the butcher of this years spring bear, I ended up with 55 lbs of breakfast sausage and 30 lbs of pep sticks. I'd have to say they are both really good. This is the first time I've had a bear processed by a butcher. The breakfast sausage definately has more of a herb spice in it than I've normally had, but tastes great in it. Anyway.....should be good on bear meat for awhile.
