Bear meat
So I got my first bear on Sunday evening. After getting it skinned, I quartered the bear and removed the back straps and tenderloins. Got the fur in the freezer, and put the meat in a cooler with a half dozen bottles of frozen water. I changed the frozen bottles every 12 hours till I got home from work today and had time to cut up the meat. It’s really quite stinky and I think I may have mishandled it. Does bear meat spoil fast? I’ve done the same thing with deer and no issue ever. I’ve got about 40 pounds of nice clean meat in ziploc bags but don’t really want to send it for pepperoni if it’s no good. It looked like the one rear quarter had a touch of green on the hip bone. Chucked that one. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
