It really depends on the bear. I'm a coonass from New Orleans, and I grew
up hunting. I've eaten black bear frequently. The meat is sweet and
pinkish, and GREASY!!! I've even HUNG it a good 3 feet over the fire but it
still dripped! It was horrible!
I would recommend marinating it. Take small portions and practice. Try
rosemary or garlic, some Worcestershire, etc. Practice before you move to
period recipes.

how to prep or cook the dang thing. Not really into having "Smokey" for
dinner but I am thinking of deep freezing it and serving it at high table in
March. Are there any period recipes for bear meat. I know that Le Menagier
de Paris has a brief passage on "How to make Beef taste like Bear" but
that's the extent of anything I have seen on the subject. Any suggestions?
