somewhere in my vast assortment of books - scattered here and there - there is a cookbook, compiled by an alaskan highway patrol officer, entitled "high brush rabbit and gunny sack geese". it is a rambling combination of stories, interspersed with recipes that relate to the particular story - quite interesting reading. in it, there is a recipe for "corned bear" - mark's comment has reminded me of that. i recall him saying that corning bear meat was the best possible use for the meat - that few people would even know that it was not high-quality corned beef.
the recipe begins; first get your bear....sort of reminds me of will geer in the movie "jeremiah johnson" - pilgrim, can you skin grizz? well skin this 'un and i'll go get another'n.
