I looked into that a few years back. Apparently it doesn't work. But I'm certainly willing to trade some bear for another side of bacon, so you can try it!
My bears are always ground into hamburger and frozen or further processed into sausage.
It's not a premium meat that warrants special care.
X2 i bring a small freezer with us as well as a small generator, we quarter, leave hang for the night to get rid of some moisture and then put in the freezer with spacing between quarters and keep hunting. When we get home we let it defrost a little and grind all the bears for tacos, spaghetti, burgers, chilli etc...its a fine meat but doesn't lend itself to anything but slow cook or ground because of its toughness. 2 big BC book bears and 1 small one last year gave me a 140 lbs of packaged meat.
