No butcher in the area will accept meat that smells bad. We strongly recommend you order the instructional video "Field Care of Big Game" from the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game by calling (907) 267-2187. The cost is $15 including shipping & postage and they take major credit cards. Contact Elaine Larimer at the following address:

We usually just hoist it up on a gambrel with the head down and skin it from the top down. Like whitetails, the hide will come off easier if still a little warm. Just butcher it like you would a deer, quarter it, cut up a few roasts, steaks, and save the rest for stews and sausage. As long as you take a bear that has not been eating out of a dumpster it's whole life, the flavor of the meat is excellent.
