Total new guy question, but can you eat bear meat? Never heard of that, but of course, washington is the first place I've ever heard of hunting bear....

[bobcat]

Yes! In fact it is against the law to kill a bear and NOT eat the meat.

My wife makes the recipe Camo Queen posted and it is awesome.  She spices it up a bit I think, but it can't be beat.

LoVe that everyone likes the chili!!! Wondering now whther I should be giving out my secrets... LOL

Army......I've only killed one bear....tasted great. From talking with others I would say that bear is very much "what it eats". A grass fed blackberry eating fatty like my bear is good....a rotten salmon garbage eating bear is probably pretty nasty. Also, proper care of the meat and immediate cooling is very important.

Chili gets me into trouble. How about some other recipes? I'm always doing the same ones. Spaghetti, stir fry, meatloaf, stroganoff, grilled steak, fried steak, fajitas, pot roast (then french dip leftovers) and occasionally stew speaking of which its been a while.

Sounds like a good chili recipe, very similar to the one we usually use.  Might have to try tweaking ours a bit and see how it does.

I found a venison chili recipe in a Field and Stream magazine one day, and after a couple of tweaks it turned out to be the best chili I've ever had..

2 pounds of venison (I used 1 pound of stew meat in 1" chunks and 1 pound of ground meat)
1/4 pound of thick cut bacon diced (I used closer to 1/2 pound)
2 medium yellow onions diced
1 medium red onion diced
2 jalapeno peppers seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
1 yellow bell pepper seeded and diced
1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
1/2 of an 8oz can of chipotle chilies chopped fine
3 cloves of garlic minced (I used 6)
1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/4 cup honey (I like mine just a tad sweeter, so I add a little more honey than this...just gotta taste it)
1 tablespoon molasses
1 bottle Guinness or other stout
1/2 cup good red wine
1 24oz can whole plum tomatoes
1 24oz can crushed tomatoes
2 cans of black beans

Brown the venison and set aside. Cook the bacon and set aside with the venison. Throw your veggies into the bacon grease and cook until they start to soften. Add meat, beans and liquids into the pot and let 'er cook for a couple of hours. DELISH!

And now I'm hungry... haha

Very nice, going to definetly try this one! Thanks for sharing

Got any more secret recipe's, 

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

I take deer or elk back strap and cut it into half inch steaks and soak them in buttermilk over night in the fridge.

Take a large sweet onion and slice it thin
Take a large apple, any kind i like fuji's or pink ladys and slice it thin like the onion.
Open a 1 pound package of bacon.

Put a layer of onion in the bottom of a glass baking dish, i use a 9x9 dish.
Then add a layer of apple, then a layer of backstrap then cover with bacon, then another layer of onion, apple, backstrap and bacon.
I add a half cup of water.
Put in the preheated oven @ 375 for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min. or untill done to your liking. I like my steak med. rare and an hour makes it perfect. It is my favorite recipe.

I make my own coleslaw to go with this.
1 package of coleslaw blend in the produce section.
1 cup of mayo
3 TBSP of apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup of splenda
1/2 cup of your favorite nut, i use toasted pine nuts or pistachios
1/2 cup of craisins

Mix Mayo, vinegar and splenda in a bowl and let it sit for an hour. The vinegar will mellow out over the hour.

Then mix the nuts and craisins and cabbage with the mayo mixture untill you like it... Best i have ever had.
