Yes I know this seems like an odd combination, Blueberries and bear meat but it is quite good and worth a try. I am not sure why I thought about using blueberries with ground meat but low and behold a quick google search told me I wasn't alone.
Blueberries add moisture (most game meats can be quite dry) and are full of anti-oxidants whch are very good for you. Plus you can keep the lean qualities of the gamemeat.

In a food processor, blender whatever..

For 2 lbs of lean ground bear meat (or deer, moose elk etc.)

8 tbs Blueberries (fresh of thawed)
1 tbs of garlic (or to taste)
1/2 small onion minced
1-2 tbs olive oil (depending how lean the meat is)
Salt, pepper, seasoning to taste (I use Thyme)
1-2 tbs Worcestershire sauce.

Mix Blueberries, garlic, salt, pepper, oninons, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning
Once this forms a thick paste/liquid, simply mix with ground meat and form into patties.

Be careful not to over cook or under cook, meat is no longer red so be careful, try not to squeeze patties too often but a quick squeeze at the end and if the juices run clear your done, the outside will be very dark.

Sounds yummy. Because the Blueberries are not a strong flavored berry and if your bear was a berry eating one, it should all blend quite well together.
Great recipe, thankyou for sharing. ( now to go get me a bear ;) )
 
I have a recipe for goose with black cherries. Maybe I can swap the cherries for the blueberries. Plus, one of my favourite meats is bear. I may have found a winner here both ways!
