My spring bears have always been good, fall bears with berries all over, excellent. Never did the fat thing though, guess I'll look into it. But no way was I packing any extra weight out of the back country last year, think I had a slight heart attack packing that guy out alone.
Well, looks easy to render, just put in a crock pot on low and then strain out the fat chunks. You guys eat the fat chunks? Wonder if they’d be good deep fried?
If anyone on the fence wants to try some bear fat….I will give you some. I have some half pints frozen from last years bear that I will give away to people that want to try it. We will be making more this year with our bears so I will have plenty. Clearly I will not ship and it has to be a face to face pick up. Let me know.

Also we cook with it a lot. Come pick some up when your buying that rifle.

These guys on here are so damn picky.
A French chef told my mother that bear fat is the finest pastry shortening in the world. We use it in every pie crust. People always ask how we get such light flaky pie crust. Rendered pure bear lard is a major factor, though I add in some butter for its flavor.Bear meat runs the widest gamut of excellent to bad flavor of any animal I’ve eaten enough times to base my opinion on a sample of many animals. I will pass on bear meat rather than play Russian roulette flavors. Most bear is good.
