Tell me about ways that you like to prepare them? I thought about smoking it then chopping roast for sandwiches. Chili recipes??? What do you guys like?
The mention of cooking to well done is excellent advice. I have read recent studies that show that while the number of people who actually eat bear meat is quite low as compared to pork, the percentage of known cases of trichinosis runs at about 80% being attributed to eating bear meat.

I haven't been able to find a bear harvest report that dates past 2012. 6 yrs is a lot of valuable information. Is there somewhere I can go for a more recent report? Looking to get my first bear and I want a good one. Don't mind walk'in I still got a few good years and a pretty big cart. We'll see!
Ok so if I grind it up, are there and extra precautions when cleaning the grinder and plates ? Should a regular dishwasher get hot enough or drop it in some boiling water first?
Usually I smoke ‘em over hickory for dinners at work. I’d probably like it more if I didn’t skin them myself. They stink. I just can’t make myself like them. I told the Killer Kyle if I get lucky this year he can have mine. Hogs stink too, but I can eat them? Go figure.
Of all the bears I've killed, all but one were boars and I've never had one that stunk. Go figure.
