I GOT HER!!!

I didn't know the fat was good for anything and it is outside in the sun   I took as much meat as I could but didn't know I was supposed to keep the fat.

It's a lot of stinky messy work.  Don't beat yourself up over wasting it.  Best to try it the first time on a small batch.  Decide if you really want to render 100# of greasy, stinky, messy bear fat.  Most decide it is not worth the trouble.  Since marriage I have not rendered a drop   Though I do love and miss dearly my kidney fat donuts.

What an absolute pig! Nice job!

Save a bunch of stew sized chunks for shishkabobs! We mix bear, elk and duck for a wonderful shishkabob!

We also pressure can some of the meat. Makes for a quick tender meat to add to noodles, rice or to make shredded (think shredded pork) bear sandwiches later...

I just cut a few thin slices off of some leg meat to try while I'm cut'n and wrap'n and OMG!  I can't believe I've been missing out all this time.  No game taste at all and yes I cooked it WELL done lol

Congrats on real toad!  I know what you mean about how good it is to eat. We've been eating a lot of the one I got this year. Ijust made an awesome roast last week and it was gone in no time.

If you hit 18" on a sow skull which I think you might...that's amazing!  The Washington state record book only has one single sow listed for archery (18 0/16" minimum) and not a single one listed for rifle (18 8/16" minimum).  I will be very interested in what she green scores at.  Have the taxi do a quick green while you are there and let us know!

As far as rendering fat for baking...that is usually the super white kidney fat.  The stuff on the exterior is usually good for deep-frying, candles, lanterns and waterproofing and that's about it.  I know a few that have tried it for baking and most were disappointed.  Kidney fat on the other hand...best dang donuts EVER!!!

Where is the kidney fat located?  The field and stream article said use the fat on the back of the bear.
