I only have 4 cameras out, all on different properties. This makes it a bear on 3 of the 4! All of the bears have been small but this one is by far the smallest.

they don't drag small though. Like jelly with bones.

bear's eating berries are delicious. Those eating dump or fish, not so much. Just about any meat is decent in sausage though. Just test for parasites or cook real well. Bear grease rendered from the fat is also highly sought after.

Carried out my 385# canadian boar on a milsurp stretcher. That's a story in itself...

When do you harvest the fat? Do you scrape it off when skinning? I have seen some videos on skinning or gutting bears but it never shows fat harvest. Should I get one, I'd like to keep that fat.

I've seen people scrape the fat and put it in a game bag when skinning/gutting.

Thanks. I guessed it was something like that but just haven't seen it explicitly described.
