So a buddy of mine killed a Black bear and Is going to give me some of the meat. I've heard that there Is a chance that bear meat may have trichinosis. So I should cook It till It's well done right. But I would like to get some sausage made out of It and since they just cure the meat used In making sausage should I back off from the sausage Idea? I think it's much more than a chance of carrying trichinella (which causes trichinosis) - in some populations, it's extremely prevalent and unavoidable if you don't handle the meat accordingly. Here's one of many articles: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/trichinosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20378583I would stick to the 160 degree rule - note that it is higher than the newer 145 degree rule for domestic pork, which is safer than it used to be. Good luck with your bruin dishes. Post some photos! Patrice - Here's an interesting article from Steve Rinella in which he recommends at least 137 degrees - not so sure about that! https://www.petersenshunting.com/editorial/steven-rinella-the-bear-facts-on-trichinosis/273460

I like to have a nice pot of stew on the stove at trapping camp.Hearty and delicious after a day on the line. Boiling is a foolproof way of safely cooking all wild meat. Another tip-make sure you clean and disinfect your tools like knives and meatgrinders after processing wild meat. A jug of bleach at camp has lots of uses,and a couple drops in the crickwater bucket will keep you from getting sick if you cant boil it.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

After skinning a Bear you realize it’s just a human with a big fur coat. I haven’t been able to eat a Bear yet. They have biceps man! and after skinning a squirrel you realize it is just a rat with a fluffy tail I have eaten bear but don't get it often.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
