Colorado bear, black on the outside, white in the middle

Got a nice black bear on Thursday night and did some lard rendering on Friday am before heading home. Usually use bear lard for biscuits on special weekend mornings and 3 quarts will last us a year. It keeps great in the fridge.



Kind of nice to utilize something I had always read about the old timers doing. Supposed to be great leather treatment, but I like to eat it too much. Steaks marinating now and looking forward to more hunts.

My Son killed a fat Sow last year.... and I cut off all the fat and tossed it ..... What a Dope!
Everyone has given me hell for that....
Won't happen again!

I too have some bear fat in the freezer...... for pie crusts.
Back when I worked in timber industry, I used to wipe my White boots down with bear grease to water proof them.

The black part of said bear. About a 225 pound female. Not real big of course but very happy with her.

Bear fat good! Jess packed out 15 pounds of it from her bear this weekend. We will use it in apple pie crusts this fall...
