FREEZE THE MEAT SOLID FOR ATLEAST A MONTH

[rasbo]

never heard of having the meat frozen for a month.I get my bears back in about a week.Pigs are not frozen for a month either.The ones we butchered 3days hang time and out.Never had bear jerky made,but after a brine bath and brought up to temp should be okay.Seems it would be more cooked than dried

i shot a bear one year that was crawling with white worms about 3-5" long, looked like spaghetti crawling around in its hindquarters, horror flick looking stuff, guts full too, disgusting.Friend of mine got a really bad rash on his hands and arm, looked like psoriasis, come to find out it was a fungus from the bears hide

One of my friends killed an elk like that,the wdfw gave him another tag after a game officer looked at the elk..He didnt fill the other tag

i tagged it, last weekend i was hunting bears anyways. My dad shot a buck one year, we cut into the hindquarter and it started oozing pus, game dept issued another tag

Does the weather have anything to do with the prevelance of worms in the species?    I know back in Michigan we wait until after the first good frost to hunt rabbits to reduce the possibility of a worm infestation. Just curious about things out here in the west as I am a newcomer to the area.

i dont think so, this bear was shot late in the season
