[minky]

Anyone have good tips or advice for cooking bear meat. I am hunting bear this weekend and I am hoping to bring home some delicious bear meat.

My F-I-L bear hunts and I think they pretty much grind it all into hamburger.

I would cook it like old school pork, from before pork was the other white meat.

We did a lot of roasts and stews with the Bears we got.  When my daughter was about 6 years old I made a really good stew.  A few days later she said "Dad when are you going to make some more of that salty Bear soup" 

At least she really liked it.

we usually trim everything, bring it to the local butcher shop and have pepper sticks, hot dogs and summer sausage out of it. my stepdaughter got real sick with Kawasaki disease years ago, the U of M tested the summer sausage and said it was some of the most pure meat they've seen.

its the only way I can get anyone else to eat bear meat!!!!!!!

Geez, never heard of Kawasaki disease before?  But my son just got a Ninja crouch rocket which I told him to go see a doctor before he kills himself!

Leech Google it! For 7 days she was in intensive care and nobody new if she'd pull thru. It affects the heart and other organs. She ended up having hergall bladder removed and a single heart bypass because of it, at 9 years old.

nope didn't come from that. basiccly it starts out as a cold or flu. body produces white blood cells to fight the illness. white blood cells overpopulate and turns poisonous to the body.

Nobody understand what causes it.  Which is why they probably do stuff like test everything, including sausages.

They never did say it was from the Bear meat thought right?  Just so folks don't get worried about eating it.   I Think Bear meat is pretty good. 

[smurfy]

No. It was ABSOLUTELY NOT FROM BEAR MEAT.

[delcecchi]

Bear meat good.  It is still recommended that it be cooked well done, like pork in the old days.
