Congrats on a great hunt, AND the new pup. Like the color on that bear.

Congratulations on that absolutely magnificent bear… The color is beautiful. At 67 years of age everything hurts but, I hunt on seeking new adventures in the game fields of America……. I consider meeting my end on a mountain top or a waterfowl marsh much more preferable than in an old folks home…. Hunt On!

That is a choice coloured bear, good to see young fellas out there knocking them over

I just had about a .5lb hamburger made of this bear. Man, that was good. I remember the last bear I shot, we tried burgers with that one, but it was awfully chewy and gristly. On this one I was a lot more careful with trimming away the junk and actually ran the burger meat through the meat grinder twice. That's probably the way to go.

Also, my wife sliced up some steak the other night and made Asian stir fry. That also was very good.

Bears are not elk or deer, but they sure can be good eating if handled the right way.

@VikingsGuy knows how to cook up a bear. I've only had bear 2x and his was, by far, the best. I might have tried harder to kill one in AK, had I known they could be that good.

Overly kind, but I do believe I posted the "recipe card" for the pulled Korean BBQ recipe on an elk thread - it does work really well with bear.

Good for you. I'm closer to 60 than 50 but still keep on keepen on.

Me too, but every year I get farther away from both of those numbers.

Inspiring story. I’m 31, and that sounds like more exertion than I’m confident I could muster.
