trichonosis don't over cook your bear
Just a FYI, you do not have to over cook any animal whether it be beef, pork, chicken to wild game including bear. With beef, pork bear and the such you just have to insure the internal temp reaches 160f through out, use a meat thermometer to assist. By over cooking the meat it ruins the flavour and makes it too dry and pasty. I have eaten fall BC bear (from the coast eating blueberries) and cook my steaks just as I would beef, Med. Rare and they have been the best eating steaks I have ever eaten. Unfortunately I have no experience with spring or Alberta fall bear. I would definitely try to do up a smoked ham if you know how to yourself or know of a place that does good smoking as they usually are top notch. Hope this helps and remember all your wild game does not need to be over cooked. Enjoy!!!!!
