Seems like it would make sense, especially if mixed with a little pork trimmings... Bob "Everybody told me you can't far on $37.00 and and a jap guitar" ~ S.E.

It was made by a local butcher who processes deer, too, and he makes all kinds of deer bologna, as well. Great use for bear meat

I make lots of Italian sausage out of ground bear meat mixed with pork(trimmed bearmeat is very lean).I use the shank and neck meat,(the tougher cuts) for sausage or stew. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

IMO USMC

The above information is on point!! Bear meat is lean and without some sort of fat like pork fat, it makes terrible ground breakfast sausage patty meat IMO.
