What do most game units require to harvest off a brown bear as far as meat? Is there a food bank type service that accepts it?

No meat salvage requirement on brown bears... due to Trichinella issues food banks will not touch bear meat...

Some goof balls a number of years ago were making a huge "Feed the people" type program and were giving away thousands of pounds of pink salmon being tossed by processors after egg stripping.

Ripe humpies are salable to processors because the eggs are very profitable. But good eggs come from fish too mature to want to eat. They get ground into fish meal. Someone got the idea to not waste the protein and people lined up around the block to get their mushy humpies...

So the right effort might make brown bears salvageable for a while!

One year a local Safari Club chapter in Michigan asked me if I would ship them two hind quarters of Brown Bear for their local game feed if they would pay for the shipping. I did -- and they have never asked for it again.

Maybe they still have it hanging in hope of aging it until it's 'perfect'? sick

Brown bears hate black bears. I think it's mostly jealousy. Seen six foot black bears better hung that most large brownies!!
I have also never gone back for brown bear meat seconds. Flavor of a fall interior grizzly is good but texture and the amount of chewing wore me out.
I have heard sausage of grizzly is good, also hear sausage made
From old carharts is good too....

One thing that always cracks me up is how small brown bear peckers are compared to black bears...


Is it true what they say about blacks and going back? wink

Brown bears have tiny peckers for their body size...

Grind it up three times and the dogs still won't eat it. Did you see that General Mattis has a bear rug in his living room. It's not dead, it' just too scared to move.
