How do you transport bear fat from the field

[COJoe]

I'm about to go on my first bear hunt next week and I could use some advice. Should I cut the fat layer off the bear meat in the field or leave it on the meat until you get it home? I would think that I would want to trim the fat off in the field to help the meat cool down faster. Also, where do you put the trimmed bear fat, in the game bags with the meat or in a separate plastic bag, then in the game bag? Thanks for any input.

I cut off immediately. It goes in a spare game bag, or a few ziploc bags.

Into a game bag. Best stuff to cook with, hands down.

Thank you, I'll put a couple 1 gallon bags in with my game bags.

I am looking forward to many meals with it. I just made about eight jars of grass fed beef tallow this month so I hope to add jars of bear fat to my supplies.
