Depends on what they've been eating. Get a good, young, berry-fed bear and take the loin, backstraps, and thighs and turn them into steaks. Everything else goes into sausage - I prefer summer sausage as it makes good Holiday gifts.
If it's been eating fish or carrion, do the whole thing as sausage.
Easy way to tell is to cut a steak of backstrap and fry it with salt and pepper. If you enjoy it, it's good to go...if not, sausage.
