So some follow up. Dropped the skull off at the Taxi on Sat morning.
I received a call 9:30pm that night from the Taxi. He was concerned and asking if we had any of the meat from the bear and had eaten it. Said in all the bears he has done he has never smelled one like it, the meat in the skull he said smelled "off" and that I should not eat it. It was not rotten as he had smelled many times before, but smelled like the bear may have been septic or sick. So much for summer sausage and jerky.
