enjoy the reading.

do no forget: ne vends pas la de l ours avant de l avoir tue.
 
We don't eat bear organs... or heart muscle... make sure the meat is cooked through... bear has a very nice texture and flavour... particularly spring bear, trim away as much fat as possible. Good luck.
 
You need to start watching the show MeatEater. He is always cooking up some bear. He recommends a cook temperature of 150F to 160F though the USDA recommends 165F. Apparently the consumption of bear meat is responsible for the vast majority of cases of trichinosis in the US every year. That said, there are only about a dozen cases of trichinosis reported in the US every year. Pretty low percentage.

Funny you mention because the meat eater contracted trichinosis on a bear hunt. I cook my bear sausages up to 350 and leave it in the oven for an hour at least. This is stuff you need to research. I would not touch bear organs. Cook your bear meat well and at a minimum of 165 but prefer 350. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx5ZKJ0Vozc Watch the video.

I wouldn't mind, especially some spring Bear:( but it wouldn't 'go' around here. At least not as far as my lovely wife is concerned. On one of Teds recent visits he offered to bring some taste samples along from one of his hunts but I had to turn the offer down;) after I saw the look on my wifes face.

You're right, Steve did contract trichinosis but he readily admits that it was because he was impatient and ate very undercooked meat that he was sleeping over a poorly performing campfire. I knew that from listening to him on Rogan's podcast but after seeing that video the meat wasn't even undercooked, it was just warmed on the outside. Definitely not even close.

I would never fault someone for being cautious about what they eat.

Just a query: are you cooking the meat to an internal temperature of 350, or using that as your oven temp minimum? 165 is the recommended internal temp of the meat, at an internal temp of 350 you might as well eat your hunting boot.

Build a roaring bonfire . Hack off a slab of bear and throw it in the fire . Next , throw your axe in the fire . When you can stick your fork in the axe head , your bear is done .

Oven minimum and they are sausages mixed with pig fat. With sausages and all that fat they come out great. Only cook my sausages at that temp. Roasts would taste like a boot. Agree.
