Thank you for the video! I was going to do a bear hunt last year but my buddy talked me out of it because he said you couldn't eat bear meat. There is not much talking about in online so this really helps. I'll be showing him this and convincing him to go bear hunting this year.
Really bizarre to think some people don't know how good bear meat is. Guess they never heard of Daniel Boone who fed an entire fort with the bears he shot.
Altho im.never going to cook or kill a bear as i live in the qeer old corrupt UK 🇬🇧 i was interested in finding out about these tales of bear parasites..Thanks for your knowledgeable on this subject..
In order to avoid getting Trichinosis you have to freeze the pork meat or bear meat for at least a week all processors in USA do that it is the law from USDA

Sources vary about how long and how cold it must be, but most agree that it can be killed by freezing for a length of time at very low temperatures. As a general rule, just cook it to 150+ and you'll be fine.
There are two types of trichinosis, one in domestic meat and one in wild meat. The domestic variant can be killed by freezing. The wild variant is freeze resistant. It gets confusing because no one has clarified the distinction too well.
@@himothyvanguard9542In principle, deer meat does not have trichinosis because deer are herbivores. The risk of trichinella usually affects all types of carnivores and omnivores. Wild boars are omnivores.
Steve Rinella from MeatEater got that. And he said that year, 7 people in the US got it as it has to be reported to CDC. 4 of them were from the MeatEater crew. lol All together eating some sketchy raw or bairly cook cant remember but either way bear meat uncooked. He also said I cant remember the exact number but something like 90% of cases are from bears. And once you realize or think about how many people are eating bears in the US, its kinda crazy! So basically all bears are 100% loaded with trich! I would for sure eat a bear if I had a chance. I would just make sure its cooked good and no worries like you stated. TY for trying to help educate on the subject!
There is a study being started at the University of Wisconsin to determine what percentage of bears carry the trichinella. It will be interesting to see.
My landlord in Germany spread raw sausage from a fresh killed hog on rye bread with sliced onions on top. It is said that Trichinosis is almost unknown in Germany. I ate it in another life and have had no problem
In Germany, every animal that is intended for food consumption and may have trichionosis is subjected to a trichinae test. If wild game that has not been examined ends up in the food trade, then a criminal offense has been committed. And if he's a hunter in Germany, then he should know that. It is an important part of the hunter exam required to obtain a hunting license in Germany.
You can not count on freezing. Like T Nativa trichinella will not be killed by freezer. All meat eating animals are possible tricinella carriers. And horse, pig, hog, beaver ( possible ) , seal ...
@BowhuntingRoad In Germany, it is mandatory for hunters to have every wild boar, badger, nutria, etc. shot that is intended for consumption tested for trichinella by a state-approved official veterinarians. If the test is positive, the meat cannot be released for consumption and the whole animal is sent to an animal disposal facility. If this legal regulation is disregarded, the hunter faces severe penalties. One of them is the withdrawal of the hunting license. If wild game that has not been examined ends up in the food trade, then a criminal offense has been committed. The test rules out the possibility of people becoming infected through insufficient heating of the meat. The trichinosis test reduced the number of human Trichinella cases to less than 5 reported cases per year in Germany. This can also include cases where the infestation took place outside of Germany. E.g. for citizens who got infected while on vacation. In 2016 we had 4 reported cases in Germany. 2017 -> 2 cases. 2018 -> 0 cases. 2019 -> 4 cases 2020 -> 1 case. 2021 -> 2 cases 2022 -> 0 cases For the examination, a sample of at least 10 grams is taken from a heavily circulated area on the animal's body, for example from the diaphragm muscle, the muscles on the front leg or the tongue, and sent to the official veterinarian.
In some areas of the country 100% of bears have trichinosis. Bears that eat nuts, fruits & leaves have lower counts but virtually 100% of bears that eat salmon have trichinosis....
@@BowhuntingRoad Many general studies were done showing 73% of black bears have trichinosis. When localized studies were done they found 100% of the bears in certain areas had trichinosis.

Great information. Had my first experience bear hunting in mid Michigan this past week with no success mainly I think because it was mid to upper 80's all week and also a 450# bear was taken opening evening on a property adjacent to mine. My question, was it the heat or that bear being killed that shut down my hunt?
I did a few and have read up on it. I just Make sure it gets an internal temp of 160* and let it rest in summer sausage. Crock pot with Sweet Baby Ray's Mmmmm
how long do you cook your bear in the slow cooker? ive been wanting to slow cook mine for years just wasnt sure if it would get hot enough! so normally stick to the bbq love the videos!
4 hours on high or 6 hours on low. Depends on the slow cooker, you just need to make sure it's over 140 degrees throughout, which is very easy with a slow cooker since most of them run 160-180 on low.
@@BowhuntingRoad sounds good i do my beef roasts in there on low for 12 hours and they come out amazing! Onions, garlic plus spice, worchestershire, soya, carrots, and a box of beef stock or broth!
Sounds delicious. Also depends on how big the roast is... I should mention that. When I had kids at home we would do 4-5 pound roasts for 10 hours, but now our roasts are a lot smaller which is the reason for 6 hours. Betcha that recipe would be terrific on bear roasts.
Have you ever cooked with a sous vide cooker? If not you should really look into it. It allows you to cook meat all the way through to a precise temp of your choice. I purchased one once I started bear hunting now use it for all meat.
@@BowhuntingRoad I read an article a while back stating their are diffrent strands of trichinosis, and the strand in bears was not killed in any amount of freezer time or temp. Not sure if this was true or not, but that is why I decided to go sous vide route now I dont worry about it. My whole family loves bear meat. I will try to find article to attach for you.
@vfxardist it cooks done, and brings anything edible up to peoper temp. What are you trying to cook a bowl of shit?, bc I promise you, high heat isnt going to help ya.
@@BowhuntingRoad Thanks! I need to learn how to hunt so I can teach my sons. I’ve been looking through your videos. They are a great library of knowledge!
Great vid I'd be worried bout slo cooking just a mental barrier since the meats in raw with he rest of the food n then it all heats up eventually to 160 but meanwhile it's been heating up with potatoes and what not
How is someone suppose to feed their dogs out there in the wilderness without cooking the meat first? I feed my dogs raw. They need the organ and bone as well. Can't give them cooked bone.
In Germany it is forbidden to feed meat infected with Trichinella to other animals. The meat is sent to a animal disposal facility. This is usually a waste incineration plant. In addition, wild boar in particular can have other diseases, such as Aujeszky's disease, which are fatal to dogs. You should therefore not give them raw wild boar meat for this reason alone.
I thought you couldn't eat bear just because it didn't taste good, so more like you wouldn't want to eat it. But I had some summer sausage made out of it and it was good.
I just made bear stew a couple of days ago. I used the slow cooker setting on my instant pot for 3 hours, then used the instant pot setting and blasted it for 45 minutes.
The problem with the consumption of predatory game is not only the risk of trichinae, but also that other pollutants and heavy metals accumulate in the meat of predatory game. If, for example, vegetation is slightly contaminated with mercury, the herbivores might eat it. The herbivores accumulate larger amounts of mercury during their lifetime. However, when the predators that are even higher in the food tier eat these herbivores, the concentration of heavy metals in the predators is even higher. When the human finally comes and eats the predator, then he absorbs the highest load of heavy metals. For this reason, it is recommended not to eat too much meat of predators if the plants in the area are contaminated with pollutants and heavy metals.
I need to find my source from a book that mentioned raw pork could be safely eaten depending on what the animal was fed. This guy was saying pork was eating rat feces and was a reason for the trichinosis to occur. Also regarding wild bear meat is that many wild black bears if they have access will eat garbage and causing a increase in likelihood of trichinosis. I wanted to eat the meat raw and have a microscope to test and check to see if the larvae are present. I eat mostly everything raw from scallops,venison,moose, beaver, eggs,mackerel,herring,shrimp, cows milk etc. Their is a element of risk with pork & bear and so more leery with it. I eat raw because I feel incredible that way and when I exercise feel better and recuperate way faster. I heard also of that antifreeze strain of trichinosis because I believe their to be 7-11 other trichinosis strains. What year did you hear with the CDC saying it’s safe after 3 weeks in freezer? I understand your advocating for it to be thoroughly cooked and I’m taking the risk. For the majority of other foods eating raw saves time and is more efficient. Plus I mix raw unheated honey with the raw meat.so it tastes good and if the game meat was venison either add raw unheated unsalted butter to it for a fat source.
Trichinosis is passed by eating an animal that has it it. They can't get it by eating garbage or rat feces. It has to be by eating the meat of the animal that has it or it won't complete the life cycle. I would not trust freezing to get rid of it.
If you want to eat meat raw, then it's better to limit yourself to pure herbivores. Wild boars are not one of them, they are omnivores. And of course, before eating their meat, you should inspect the meat for any diseases, viruses, bacteria, and parasites that may be present in these herbivores and harmful to humans. This also means that you should inform yourself thoroughly about this topic.
@@BowhuntingRoad That's ok. I got mad Respect to those who do. A friend of mine at work told me Monkey is a delicacy in Zaire/Congo. I am sure if growing up, those were part of my meal, I wouldn't mind eating them.
Can you please mail me some bear meat i live in Seattle and i can't find any ath local butchers. Ive always wanted to try some bear meat ive only heard 1 person say bear meat was Gross
65 °C or 165 °F is the absolute minimum. Keep in mind, that your thermometer usually has tolerances and the displayed value does not correspond to the real value. In addition, the temperature in the meat is often unevenly distributed, which is why you are on the safe side with higher temperatures. In any case, the minimum temperature should take into account the lowest tolerance range of the thermometer used.

The problem with the consumption of predatory game is not only the risk of trichinae, but also that other pollutants and heavy metals accumulate in the meat of predatory game.
If, for example, vegetation is slightly contaminated with mercury, the herbivores might eat it. The herbivores accumulate larger amounts of mercury during their lifetime.
However, when the predators that are even higher in the food tier eat these herbivores, the concentration of heavy metals in the predators is even higher. When the human finally comes and eats the predator, then he absorbs the highest load of heavy metals.
For this reason, it is recommended not to eat too much meat of predators if the plants in the area are contaminated with pollutants and heavy metals.
It’s not rare, it happens when you undercook in the field. It’s almost always contracted in the bush.
I need to find my source from a book that mentioned raw pork could be safely eaten depending on what the animal was fed. This guy was saying pork was eating rat feces and was a reason for the trichinosis to occur.
Also regarding wild bear meat is that many wild black bears if they have access will eat garbage and causing a increase in likelihood of trichinosis. I wanted to eat the meat raw and have a microscope to test and check to see if the larvae are present. I eat mostly everything raw from scallops,venison,moose, beaver, eggs,mackerel,herring,shrimp, cows milk etc. Their is a element of risk with pork & bear and so more leery with it. I eat raw because I feel incredible that way and when I exercise feel better and recuperate way faster.
I heard also of that antifreeze strain of trichinosis because I believe their to be 7-11 other trichinosis strains. What year did you hear with the CDC saying it’s safe after 3 weeks in freezer? I understand your advocating for it to be thoroughly cooked and I’m taking the risk. For the majority of other foods eating raw saves time and is more efficient. Plus I mix raw unheated honey with the raw meat.so it tastes good and if the game meat was venison either add raw unheated unsalted butter to it for a fat source.
Trichinosis is passed by eating an animal that has it it. They can't get it by eating garbage or rat feces. It has to be by eating the meat of the animal that has it or it won't complete the life cycle. I would not trust freezing to get rid of it.
If you want to eat meat raw, then it's better to limit yourself to pure herbivores. Wild boars are not one of them, they are omnivores. And of course, before eating their meat, you should inspect the meat for any diseases, viruses, bacteria, and parasites that may be present in these herbivores and harmful to humans. This also means that you should inform yourself thoroughly about this topic.
Good video
Thanks

Hmm... seems lile every other video i watch someone has a different temp. 137, 150, 165, 180 ... I'll just stick to no black bear
Your loss! The FDA says 137 degrees. Doesn't matter what anyone else says, they have done the testing. I usually figure 145 is safe.
65 °C or 165 °F is the absolute minimum. Keep in mind, that your thermometer usually has tolerances and the displayed value does not correspond to the real value. In addition, the temperature in the meat is often unevenly distributed, which is why you are on the safe side with higher temperatures.
In any case, the minimum temperature should take into account the lowest tolerance range of the thermometer used.
I know about 4 people who have got it. Old hunters that didn't cook there bear. Ontario canada
Interesting. I have always wondered what percentage of bears are carrying it.
400k parasite eggs per pound in black bear 😂
