Ah, yah! Some of the best tasting vitals out there. I like mine on the grill, with just salt and pepper with medium heat, and a brush of butter before turning. Bear needs to be well done, unlike venison, medium rare.
Fried onions and garlic toast, yum, yum

Thanks a lot Jonathan, now I'm hungry

Ya gotta know how to fix it. I've had bear meat that would choke a starving coyote. But then I've had some mighty fine meat that was prepared properly.

Back in the 60's a buddies grandmother used to treat us to a bear stew that she baked in a clay-pot that was to die for. Baked with veggies & a thick gravy, a family tradition lost with her passing.
NIK,

NIK,

Sounds good Nik, very similar to the way my grandma used to fix coon. Now that stew was to die for. I remember her always talking about having to get the sent glands out.
We had the discussion before about the bear meat. Must be taken care of immediately upon harvest to get it cooled down. And during the butchering and before wrapping remove "ALL" of the fat. I had some of that meat fixed for me one time that would have knocked a buzzard off a poop truck nasty. Guy didn't care for it correctly when harvested, and he said "who would eat this crap".
Wasn't the meat of a bear that was bad, it was the care of the meat that was bad.

Big bear, only problem is he only comes around at night.
Anyone know how to change the feeding habits of a bear from night to day time?

That is a hum-dinger, GOOD SIZE.

NIK,

Well bear season has ended without a bear. So we'll have to try again in another four to five years. But now what to do with the freezer full of Hostess products?
Thaw them suckers out and gorge myself, what did you think I would do? Throw them away

Too bad you missed out. That one photo you posted of that bear was a hum-dinger.

Naw, they put so much crap in those things that the shelf live makes them good for a 100 years.

Nik,
