Bear meat- what do you eat??

[Derp]

Since bear season is here, I was just wondering what do you eat from the bear and what do you make out of it?

Just curious, since I wanna bag a bear this season hopefully!

thanks!

Yeah I was thinking about that, but do any of you cut your own bear meat and just make bear steaks or whatever with it?

We cut our bears up into chops and roast just like we would a deer. It's great eating and makes awesome burger. You cook it well done just like you would pork.

I've done it. It's fairly decent meat, but not as good as deer, elk, moose, grouse, etc. I found it lacking in flavour, and in need of more seasoning than any other kind of meat I ever ate.

If I ever kill another bear (which I doubt I will), I will make the whole thing into saussage/smokies/etc.

Last year I made one spring Bear into steaks/burger and my fall bear into sausage. I only have two packs of sausage and maybe a half dozen steaks left in the freezer.

We own a George Forman grill and it works perfect for sausage. You take your sausages out of the freezer, in the microwave for two minutes and on the George Forman for 12 minutes and you're ready to go, 14 minutes from freezer to your plate.

With the steaks you can't go wrong if you marinade them in Kraft Balsamic Vinaigrette for a couple of hours and fire them on the BBQ. My wife prefers bear over deer now.
Ground bear meat makes awesome spaghetti sauce as well as chili. Don’t be scared to try new things.
Get out there and enjoy yourself. I’m hoping to put another couple bears in the freezer again this year. God knows we have no shortage of them on the Island.

I also had a couple small roasts made from my bear last year , they were excellent.
