Good hide for tanning... good meat to eat... and bear grease tastes good on just about anything. Rendered bear fat will take alot of ‘gamey’ out of any meat.... even makes nutria rat palatable.
And, for being a good watchdog, I would make sure the dog gets a big chunk of the liver and, if it was a male bear, toss him the testicles as a snack. Dogs love testicles from all creatures. At least mine do.
Mmmmmmm. Fried nutria bites. Maybe some manatee steaks too? LOL!
