Grilling a whole leg of bear is really simple and so tasty. If you’re looking for something different and easy to do with your bear meat, here’s a recipe that we’re sure you’ll enjoy.
Charcoal Grilled Leg of Bear Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 whole hind leg (rump to shank) of black bear, trimmed of all fat and silver skin
- Your choice of spices to taste
*To prevent the outside of the leg from charring, monitor temperature with a thermometer and use indirect-heat or hot-smoke cooking methods. Add smoke wood chunks to charcoal to create a fragrant smoke on the meat.
Directions
- Prepare leg, making sure all fat is trimmed – Caution: When grilling bear meat, dripping fat will ignite! Trim all fat before cooking!
- Sprinkle or rub all sides of the trimmed leg evenly with spices
- Prepare charcoal grill for low to medium heat or an indirect-heat set up
- Place leg on grill and cook slowly for 6-10 hours or until desired doneness, turning occasionally and re-seasoning
- Allow bear meat to reach an internal temp of 160 degrees F before consumption

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.
Thank you,

What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
