First time eating bear…great success!

Trichinosis creeps me out.

Gotta cook it good, for sure! Sometimes I think I took too much microbiology in school!

Glad to see it turned out well for you. I've done a few bear hams in my day also and have learned that especially with the bigger bears it is best to smoke for a couple hours and finish in the oven.

Black bear burger with 5% pork added is what I do. Its amazing. Better than moose in my families opinion. Black bear roast in the crock pot is pretty much the best wild game roast going. Black bear breakfast sausage…well…it’s a home staple

We eat black bear Bolognese about once a week on average. I also routinely make black bear guinness stew and carnitas, too. I agree with others, I like it better than venison.

While what you cooked up looks and sounds delicious, bear is one of my least favorite. I haven't hunted one in a long long time.

I will never eat bear again.

Bear is fantastic in about every braised recipe I’ve used it in. Chile Colorado, Irish stew, French Dips…

I will never eat bear again.
