I've eaten bear a couple times but I've never cooked it myself. What I recall was a similarity to roast beef but greasier. Maybe that's from the grease gun ....

One word of advice, trim off every ounce of fat and cook it done, Bear are like hogs and can have worms. The fat will taste over powering. Once trimmed of all fat, cook it like you would a beef roast. I have cooked in a oven and I have used a crock pot. Will taste like beef except darker in color and be a little more stringy.
no doubt xr ~
all it mite take is a well marbled steak. like grilling?
maybe a few here can relate:
In Montana you have to send the tongue of your bear to the DNR to have it tested for trichinosis. I won't eat bear meat and have shot two in Wisconsin. Just the thought gives me the shivers.
never had it. but i remember my Dad once, down at an OR ranch hunting...said he had some. not bad...
we got a place here in town called The Black Bear Diner....
haven't ck'd it out... but thinking.... just mite. fare looks pretty good. not sure if bear is on the menu... lol
sounds like my kinda place!
Sasq'tch shot one from across the river with his pistol couple episodes back: The Trail. skinned n gutted it... said he would mostly make jerky out of it as he prepped it fireside...
I'm in Pennsylvania, in Lebanon. But thanks. I'm 80 ish % sure I've contacted everyone that was reccomeneded. At this point it's just a wait and see what's going to happen.

Cut Split Stack Burn
That’s 110% on point! Pot roast it in a crock pot and it’s just like beef but stringy’er. That’s the only time I liked bear, my BIL down in Tennessee had a pal who made some for a pot luck.
I also had bear burgers, they were infused with jalapeños and cheddar, it was pretty good
But every time I tried to make meatloaf out of it…….
Ehhh, no
And just like that I'm done with wood. 23/24 is under the deck and this is 24/25 and 25/26 split and stacked. I even split up a couple bucket loads of kindling. Plan is to leave it out for a few weeks to dry. If it rains, I'll pull the boat over it. Not sure what I'm going to do with my time but I don't plan on scrounging till 2025 unless something marvelous falls in my lap. I guess I'll do.....other stuff!

My buddy has been going a few miles away and getting firewood where they are clearing the trees out between some fields. They have already made huge piles there, getting ready to burn them. Anyway, he wanted me to take my tractor there to winch tree's out of the piles, as the owner said we could have as much of the wood that we want.
SO, today we took two trailers over there, and I got started winching out whole tree's,
then trimming off any limbs still on them,
I then picked them up and held them over his trailer as he cut them into firewood lengths,
I left the logs going to MY trailer in at least 20 foot lengths, and loaded them into my trailer,
It wasn't too long, and I had a HEAVY load,
The owner said if we saw any standing trees we wanted, to take them too and I saw this cherry, so we cut it down and I loaded it on my trailer, it will be headed to my BSM,
Anyway, that's it for today,

From what you guys are saying, sounds like it would be good to cut it into chunks and use it as stew meat.
Thoughts???
