Title: Look what I aquired
Post by: BAM1 on February 04, 2013, 04:07:28 PM
I acquired this bear meat from a friend.  He said they were roast so the size and shape looks to be loins.  I'm thinking sausage with a couple and I'm sending one down to SE Georgia to our resident sausage expert.  Any other suggestions/recipes.

Never had it but I'd brine the He!! out of it.   Not sure if I'd smoke it for a few hrs then grill it to finish or just smoke it till done

No suggestions or recipes. I am now 61 and the last time I had bear meat I was around 6 or 7 years of age. What I had was a black bear here in Florida. I remember that I liked it. I recall it was a little greasy and had a mild sweet flavor. Of course that could have been how it was prepared. It was a bear that my father killed on a hunting trip that he took me on. Back then it was legal to hunt bear and gators.

May be a dumb question but do you know what kinda  bear it's from black, brown ?????  Reason I ask is the diet it would have eat while it was alive.  Wonder how gamey the meat will be???

Go with pensrock and make jerky. I did a few yrs. ago and it turned out great. I have to admit I have never tried it any other way. Piker
