I have never had anyone do this for us. How much do they charge you?

I had them do whole bear in summer sausage and pep sticks (no burgers or roasts, I have enough left over from last years), lets just say I have more than enough.

Total came to 220 bones. There was some de boning involved.

Looks good!!! I hope when I come back next month I will be able to go out and try to get a bear while I am back home. If not then I will try to get a bear here in VA

who did the meat for you

220 seems like a fair price. How much weight did you end up with?

We just picked up ours a few weeks ago from Robber's Roost in Ellensburg. 225lbs of summer, pep, and country in a variety of flavors...at $2.75/lb. RR does AWESOME meat...

I noticed a lot of guys make pepperoni and summer sausage out of their bears. Does bear not make great steak or burger?

Depends on what you do with them after the shot. Quickly cooled bear meat is awesome.

The age and diet of the bear bake a big difference, too.

Young bear = great tasting meat.
Berry-fed bear = great testing meat.

I am curious, whatelse can you do with Bear meat? Pepper sticks, Summer sausage and what else would you recommend?

littlebuf · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2009, 07:21:39 PM »

smoked hams and canned bear is great

Abolt338 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2009, 09:03:40 PM »

Get some breakfast / country sausage made. Kilbasa, brats, bear sausage...it's all good.

Keep in mind, I have only shot one bear, but we made fajitas, stew, browned the chunks and served with breakefast, pan fried in some olive oil and served with dinner, and especially good shishkabab, all good. My wife and kids loved it alot and want more. August is soon.

What can't you do? Do you want the Forest Gump answer?

I can most of mine for sandwiches, french dip, shredded meat tacos and stew meat, etc. Roasts in the crock pot are a favorite and very easy. I also add leftover trimmings to my burger pile. Other sausages include breakfast, brawt style and smoked.

I like to smoke roasts,then put bbq sauce all over it,wrap in foil tight,and heat so it steams for awhile,very tender.one gal made a bunch of tamales out of a hind quarter for a party it was awesome.the bear can be used like beef,just cook till done

Yea, my August trip is all planned out! This year I will kill my first bruin! I seems like its pretty endless what to do withthe meat. I only tasted sausage and sticks before, but that will change once August is here! Thanks, Austrian

T&T John Tuss is the best around by far, but he is the most expensive also, and a long ways out of the way, but I still will only use him. Hes is a great guy and sure can talk your ear off.

Summer sausage eh? Gotta try it. I have been smok'in 4.5# of ground bear w/1# of beef suet for an awesome, hot-smoked bear brat in hog casings. The neighbors are feeding me fresh cooked crab as long as I bring them some bear brats that I smoked. There's a lot of pleasure past pullin the trigger eh?
