Kududude,
Just curious, what do you use rendered bear fat for? I'm not a bear hunter so I don't know anything about it. Don't mean to derail the thread.
Easy. Put a bunch of fat in a large kettle and turn on the heat. The clear stuff will appear and that's what you put in jars to save. There is a "residue" that is seemingly identical to pork "cracklings" and it's absolutely delicious to eat.
The process of heating the fat stinks a mite
