I want to try some bear meat

[Pathfinder101]

Put a roast in the crockpot with a couple bottles of Guinness.  Very tasty.

I will have to try that one.  Sounds good. 
All I know is that the one I shot 2 years ago tasted like @$$.  I threw a steak on the grill at my superbowl party and 4 of us each had a couple of bites.  All hunters, all eat plenty of wild game, all several beers into the game... all agreed that the rest of that bear should go into a jerky brine... who knows, maybe I shot her after she had been gorging on a rotten elk for a week.     so, I brined her up, jerked her out, and munched happily on her for the rest of the year.  fed her to a couple of guys I know that refuse to eat bear.  After 3 or 4 pieces I told them it was bear and they couldn't believe it.  I plan to shoot another one this year, so I will experiment more with different ways to cook them.

The biggest thing with bear meat....

gotta get all the fat off you can, and ya gotta eat it hot (if your cooking it).

Bear meat takes real well to spices for jerky/sausage.

     Not all bears are good.   The bears that eat dead fish carcasses in AK do not taste very well at all.

okay, maybe I messed something up.

worked awesome in burgers
not as awesome in chili
less good in strogenoff

Thanks to shannon I have more than enough to try different things.
(thanks again!)

I just had my first bear burgers the other day...

cant say I liked it. I ate it, but I can think of other burger I like better. So it will be all summer sausage, jerky, roast and breakfast sausage from here on out for the bearskies.

The meat from the bears we killed in Wisconsin had a slight sweet taste to it.  Never really knew if it was from all the berries they ate or from us feeding them twinkies and ding-dongs for 2 months.

Had my bear made into German Sausage and it was the best I'd ever had.  I also heard the smoked hams are real good.
