Bear cooling in the freezer

[BigUglyMan]

We removed all the bones from the meat except the ribs. I disjointed the ribs from the vertebrae(cut the cartilage where they move) on one side and cut out the rib meat from the other side. I tossed 40lbs of fat, plus the couple of inches on the hide. Probably 50/50 burger/roasts.
105lbs of meat. 47kgs. Not counting the tenderloins and the heart.
Now to get the bear grease out of my butcher buckets and off my knives.(Dawn dish soap and bleach)

Don't sleep on that bear grease. I use it quite a bit for cooking and am exploring the possibility of using it for frying things like french fries and chicken wings.

Now, those are some interesting uses for rendered bear fat.
tigrr, render it down and use it for making pie dough.
Have heard many a tale this is a legendary use for it.

Tried rendered down bear fat. Made bullet lube, leather boot treatment, and 1 pie crust.
Gave 2 quarts away ten years later.
Also have a cholesterol issue. So no fried foods.
