When I harvest a bear ( or any animal on that matter) I try to utilize as much as the meat as possible before processing it. Steaks, roasts, stew meat etc... Just curious on what you do with the majority of yours. I have watched some of your videos in the past and seen you like to make sausage.
Now I have freinds that will take an animal in and have the entire thing processed, at that point I don't think it matters what or when you shot something then.
