I do use it for waterproofing my boots. It works great and it's a myth that they smell.

By the way, the lard I use for waterproofing my boots is separate from what my wife uses for baking....

what is a MYTH ?? that your boots smell ?, or your feet smell ?

NO, bear grease has no odor after it has been "rendered" ,

What is your recipe and process? I'm sure more hunters would shoot bears if there was a viable use for a stinky old boar.

Simple List:

• Bear Meat
• Carrots
• Mixed Grain Rice
• Celery
• Sweet Potatoes

My dog gets a package two or three times per week. She loves it.

This year I am also going to render the fat per BromBones post http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=55211

I've been in on killing 5 Island Bears so far from a small young boar to a few big stinkly old buggers, all spring bears, all living up high in the mountains, away from garbage dumps, and many miles from a salmon bearing stream they were eating clover, grass, fireweed and other greens.

They all had worms, they all smelled the same... And why wouldn't they? They are the garburators of our forest. A bear without worms? Not sure that exists. I think it's more like people who weren't looking for worms or mistake them for stringy pieces of fat... Watch one of those two footers coiling itself around your knife and you'll know!

I don't really like the taste or the smell and soaking it in gasoline or some other concoction to make it taste like something else is not the solution for me.

If I have to bring the meat out I do want to use it for something and saving several hundred bucks on dogfood and boot grease for life is a good deal for me, I will also get to practice caping/skinning out the heads/paws because according to my Dad, I need quite a bit more practice around the lips/ears! My recent deer wasn't a total failure, but the taxi that gets it will surely be impressed with my fine handiwork

I was born and raised on VI and all but three of mine are from here and no worms at all, so it is not a island problem, just a perception of others that all bear meat is bad
