Good looking bear, congratulations. Is it going to be bear jerky, sausage or roasts and steaks (or a combo) for the summer?

Thanks everyone! My hunting buddy Dwayne finally got his first bear last night! A black boar that had a Tate for bagels. LOL Now were 5 hours into the 33 hour drive home. What an adventure! Dwayne caught a trout - put it on a stringer near the bank. An osprey swoops down and steals his fish and stringer. Then on our way down the highway takin my bear to the taxi we come across a Harley rider face down in the middle of the road. A dead deer nearby. Since Dwayne and I are both RNs we offer assistance until EMS arrives. They call in a helicopter for him - fortunately his helmet saved his life. What an adventure! Oh - we were Between 5 and 6 thousand feet in the Bitterroot mountains.

I need a favor - what color do you all think my bear is? I've heard cinnamon, rust, chocolate, brown, and red. I thought cinnamon, but many say no.

What color?

Roasts and ground bear. I may try jerky.
