Buddy got this bear last night. I helped him with it this morning, all I can say is this thing is huge! All of you internet police will disagree, its a given but I was there. We put this bear on the scale with guts in and it came in at 404 lbs, 7ft nose to tail. I have never seen so much fat in my life! This was his first bear, shot it between the eyes 50yds up the hill off the road. A central washingtin bear.

So he gave me a backstrap, any tips on how to cook it?

Westside88 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 04, 2013, 04:56:55 PM »

I'm sure someone with more experience will have advice , but I've been told slow cooker. Some way that will get the fat out. I hear stews good too. I've only done sausage.

h20hunter · « **Reply #14 on:** October 04, 2013, 04:57:53 PM »

Low and slow like pot roast.

Not if you dont care about the books

Special T · « **Reply #20 on:** October 04, 2013, 05:27:47 PM »

I know, for many bears i would take the same shot, but that thing is a beast. It would be a shame if its skull was huge.

JWhite22 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 04, 2013, 05:29:17 PM »

That is a very nice bear congrats!!! I would be so dang excited to harvest a bear like that. Good job

Beast of a bear your friend got there. Out of curiosity where was he taken?

Crock Pot is for the tough stuff! I would cook it like any other good cut of meat. With that much fat he's probably been eating berries so it should be fantastic eating. Unlike most big game you cook to medium rare bear, like pork, needs to be cooked medium well (165*) just to be safe. It has enough fat it will not get dry at that temperature like most big game will. Should be sweet, tender and yummy!

buglebuster · « **Reply #25 on:** October 04, 2013, 05:41:30 PM »

Here is a pic... def wouldnt want to deal with one in august! Weird to skin the fat away before you cut the meat out.

Special T · « **Reply #26 on:** October 04, 2013, 05:44:20 PM »

My Wife would Die for the fat off that thing for making soap.

Jolten · « **Reply #27 on:** October 04, 2013, 05:45:14 PM »

That's a good size back strap. Perhaps try a smoker on a portion.

RadSav · « **Reply #28 on:** October 04, 2013, 05:46:16 PM »

Doubt he looked like that in August! We've taken a good number of them like that in early October. All were outstanding vittles

That guy was probably barely a 350 boar in August. Got to love those October boar.

BOWHUNTER45 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 04, 2013, 06:02:18 PM »

He has definitely been eating well ... that's why I would not waste my energy in August ...especially if your looking for one to mount or eat ....Bear makes some of the best summer Sausage known to man

Funny when you peel off all that hide and fat and there is not much meat

Beluga bear!
