Hmm yea..I am speechless on that one Krupa. Good luck with it!

I'm pretty speechless myself.

We're not talking Black Bear here.... We're talking Grizzly???
(trying to control anger)

Dude, WTF would anyone shoot a grizzly other than a trophy to hang up on a wall???? Bear meat is putrid... In fact, you can smell a grizzly before you see it in the wild.

But more importantly, Why did they shoot a majestic endangered bear????

Not only are we in a war against "Asian" Bear part poachers, we also must protect against dumbass North Americans???... shooting at anything that moves??? F@ckin maddening!

Holy Crap! I like it! (Throwing my soiled panties at ya like you were Elvis!!!!)

:)

That ain't a bad Idea! Put it in tiny jars with a cool label and sell em for $38 a pop at gourmet stores.

Save that bear grease until summer and make individual sized treats and stick them in freezer, the dogs will love it when its hot out. I do that with blood, my dogs love bloodsicles.

Whoa up there Homey! (my Dad said grizzly bear....He ain't famous for being 100 accurate)

One of my neighbors did go trophy hunting up north. I wasn't there when he dropped off the tube o ground bear and the lard and claws and teeth and bones.

Russel has been a good friend and neighbor who is a fireman and a good man that I can personally vouch for as being a good redneck who happens to be a trophy hunter. ..and yes, out here, you eat what you kill.


All of my family does sport shooting though none of us hunt. Everlast one of us love game foods. Venison, feral hog, bass, catfish, rattlesnake, dove, quail......when a neighbor goes hunting and comes back with elk and bear meat....whe ARE gonna at least try it.

That bear meat sucked.

I swear, I could smell it
through the phone.

Make really old fashioned soap with wood ashes and water.

That, I can do.

Apparently, you are tragically under estimating the smell of bear.....if soap smelled like that...I would rather be filthy.

BTW

it sounds like the grease might be rancid from ur description

in which case

throw it out

tell ur pop u gave it too the dogs....

Bear grease is known to have a very strong odor and it is recommended to melt it down to oil in a stainless steel pot over a portable gas burner. It should also be strained to get rid of fur, bone, tendon and such...not that I think the doggies mind very much.

My apologies for goin off on here bro.... it's a sensitive issue for me. My family game hunts but NEVER mount any carcasses... out of respect for the kill. In our opinion, you get no "man" points for killing wild animals unless you killed a Grizzly with a Buck knife of course . I've learned, good people do things that aren't necessarily right. When you see ol Russell again, ask him a few questions... from the Canadian Pucker.

I'd love to see a snapshot of the Teeth and claws mate

As for the Bear grease, you thought KY and astroglide was good???

Pardon me... imma go puke now

yes that has already been explained

but if it has been out of the refrig for any time it can go rancid fairly quickly

Smear it on yourself and it will attract females. Bears.

No problem John. I don't like hunting unless it is with a camera.

Actually, I lied....I just hunted down a bottle of watermelon vodka and some kind bud.

:)

I will snap a pic of the claws and teeth after my old man puts em to use in his leather and knife making shop. I know he was gonna embed some in a tomohawk handle.

Dude, Killer buds are dangerous.


You hold it..... while I stab it k?

I got a Sterling silver elk bust pourer jammed into my bottle of watermelon vodka. I am trying to kill that first.

:)

So.....what do you guys do with the furs and skins and antlers or horns?

I only ask cause, quite often neighbors will drop off snakes and hides cause they know that my dad puts em to use making some pretty cool schitt. (belts, pistol holsters, long rifle sheaths.

My problem is throwing a way a gorgeous fur or skin...With me, I make em into halloween costume pieces and just love em. Might seem disrespectful until you realize that I still got my halloween stuff from 9th grade.




Not sure how treasuring the idea of the individual animal that I rescued is wrong for keeping trophy. I just don't see the point in burying an animal when it can be used and apprecieated.
I like the feathers and leathers...you can make some pretty cool stuff.

This is just a general statement....believe me, I am sad at the loss of the local Texas horney toads. They were the mellowest animals ever.

well wish u were here - just got me a suet cage bird feeder and forgot to ask for suet at the grocery.....
