Just a quick question. I just wonder if anyone has smoked Bear. I am getting ready to try some and thought I would check in first. I figured a good start might be smoke like beef or pork.

I believe there was a discussion on the open forum around October regarding Bear meat. You might scroll down the list to that time period and find it. I have had smoked bear meat in the past and it was pretty good, but real rich.

I recently was given about 100 pounds of shoulder and hind quarters from 2 Canadian black bears. Made most of it into jerky and summer sausage. I staked the back strap but have not eaten them yet. Made some chili with ground bear that turned out good.
Well, I put a hind quarter & shoulder on at 6:30 this morning so I guess we will see what happens. Last night I trimed them up and removed all the fat. I put my own rib rub on them and in the frig. This morning I sprinkled on some more rub, put them in the smoker and covered them with bacon. Got the smoker at 226(FEC100). Shooting for 180-190 internal temperture. Anyone that has some more input, give me a hollar.
