Except for the matter of scale (size) there isn’t much difference between gutting a rabbit, or a deer, or a bear. Or an elephant for that matter. It’s just that as the animals get bigger you need a little more help handling the carcass. Bill Van Houten (USA Ret) "No matter how hard you try, you can’t throw a potato chip very far."

You don’t "field dress" a black bear. You skin in out with the guts still in it (much, much easier). Then you take the hind and front quaters off of it. The rest is food for the scavengers.There are no "innards" in a bear that is fit for human consumption.

Thanks in advance > Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: > http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/ I have never bagged a bear but some of my friends have. I do not believe that there is inherently anything different about bear than a deer or any other game. My guess is that you would cape it much in the same way for a mount. However I would feel that it would be somewhat different should you wish to end up with a rug…..perhaps some of the successful bear hunters can explain…I have not been lucky enough to draw a permit in Michigans lottery….yet! jp Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/
