to me meat is meat and i do it eat lot of cuisine that is not on regular peoples diets, i'm sure bear paw is delicious. in the 20s during the great depression i bet there was a lot of food eaten that wasn't the norm. i remember they used sawdust as fillers in sausage and bread. ive seen stewed bear paws and smelled great. its just meat and cartilage with bone.in the south they eat fried pork rind and pigs feet so what;s the big deal. actually ive had the pigs feet in gelatin that a friend bought by the tub ,just heat and serve.im sure almost every hunter has had deer hair or moose hair in there steak ,down feathers in there duck or goose.wrigglys gum used to be made out of synthetic rubber. people use intestines as sausage casings. haggis ive enjoyed on robbie burns day these are caucasian dishes . And yes if #### hit the fan ill be a cannibal , meat is meat
Interesting recipe, thanks for posting. i wont be trying it...hahaha im pretty sure the wife would faint if i set a bear paw on her plate. personally i don't care what part of the bear is consumed as long as its done legally and harvested for personal use. Good luck with you hunt and with your cuisine
That recipe is similar to “pig tails” which are also served with sauerkraut. I noticed it calls for skinned paws, which appears to differ from the Asian way. The only thing I could find on the Asian method suggested they were “braised” for several days.
Seeing this now, it seems less repulsive. I was under the impression the OP was removing and eating only the pads from the feet. That seems to me about as gross as possible and not worth the effort.

seen recipes for Bear feet in a couple of game cook books. but they either call for burning the fur off and/ or skinning the feet. Have you ever tried waxing them. i know some duck hunters dip their ducks in melted wax and then peal it off to remove pin feathers.

Very interesting, I had no clue people ate these parts. Is there anything similar you could compare to it's taste and texture?

Racism and perceived racism.
moderating in the Hunting section ....
Guys for the most part are just trying to be funny. People with ethnic backgrounds quickly see it as racism. Mostly it's not intended that way at all. But, it can quickly escalate to the real thing.
Given the rhetoric around Covid 19 and it's possible origins, people of oriental descent are under attack right now.
Even those Canadian born for generations are feeling the heat.
Lets give our oriental friends a break and back off eh?

It's embarrassing to see comments like this from members. JYC is simply asking for some measure of decorum.

Dude, where's your sense of humor?
^^This might work for bear, I do this with entire pigs. But if you are looking to preserve the bears paw what you need to do is case skin it, remove all the muscle tissue from the bones. I'm not familiar with the blanching process for the bone but you'll need to do something like that, tan the hide you skinned off then put the two back together. Removing the fur alone will just leave (soon to rot) leather on top of bone, tendon and soon to rot flesh. As other posters have queried: you still haven't made precisely clear what you desire for end result making any answers useful at best and most redundant.
EDIT: later post I found you intend on eating it. Since the hair doesn't come out when the pig removal method is tried just boil the whole thing like you would the pigs head... everything will soften up, scrape out the edible meat.
