My uncle had a tree in his yard in Va. He called it a Bamagilly tree. It had big buds with yellow stuff in them if you squeezed them. It was great for cracks in your hands or for a blister that busted open. I wonder it that is the same as your Gilead?

Pat growing up in what was as close to a hunter gathering family as one can get we usually had bear lard and meat frequently. the fat was rendered as toiv0 said and was used like you would any lard or Crisco for frying.The women in the family swore that it made the flakiest and tender pie dough.

Plus 1 on Ken's comments and also a great water proofing and a base for salves. Smoked bear meat chunks, and then canned are pretty good. You can keep cougar and coyote meat. Strong like an old boar bear. Good looking bear. They looks so human after you pull off the hide.

Strong like an old boar bear. Good looking bear. They looks so human after you pull off the hide. Human with biggest biceps. Hunters drift quietly on mountain lakes Georgia/Tennessee and listen for limbs snapping along the shore/forest during acorn season. Amazing arm strength to snap those oak limbs. They drop em to the ground and get the acorns. In Florida they peel the bark off of Sabel palm trees to get to the palmetto bugs taking refuge in the bark. They look like fat juicy roaches. Peeling the bark takes extreme strength. Bear is scary strong.

Small bear? Hard to define small. That bear is around 300 pounds dressed. Perhaps not a trophy, but 200 pounds larger than "small".
Every boar bear needs to have a sample of his meat cooked prior to processing. If it's rank, pitch it out.
I have heard that bear lard is a cure for male pattern baldness!

We were out hunting, shot a big black about 200 or more yards up a steep 45 degree or steeper slope. Bear was hit in back but as he was rolling and half walking down to our position be was biting off 2 inch thick and thicker trees before we got to him and finished him. Amazingly strong and smell that way too. Used to be able to bait a bear but no more . Have to cut their trail and find their habits. Service berry is a great place to fall hunt them if you like them. Preferred Elk, spikes or if a cow tag a younger one. These days rib eyes.. grin

It was only last June - three months ago - when you brought up Bamagilly Salve. Very lucky, or very unlucky, can't decideArlen radio started the thread about him trying to rip his arm off with a tree branch. How is that arm doing now, Arlen? All better, I hope.

Pretty much healed up, but boy did it leave a mark!!!! Branch pretty much took off the meat down to the bone in a 3 inch long section, so slow healing

The latin for it is populus basamifera. Alot of people call it cottonwood but I think it is different and a latin of populus deltoidis. Has good medicinal properties, high in salicylic acid which is what asprin was developed from. Good for inflamation, bear fat good for anything. Mixed with pine pitch good for bug bites, mixed with tansy insect repellant...but attractive to bears...haha

That isn't the bear who messed with the hive. It was shot last year along with his brother about a mile from the house. The bear in the picture is 560 lbs dressed and his brother went a hair bigger. The old suomalainen inthe area use bear fat for everything especially in the sauna, say no need for viagra when you have karhu lardi.

Strong like an old boar bear. Good looking bear. They looks so human after you pull off the hide. Yes scarey close to human stature when skinned, though haven't skinned out a human. Bear meat is one of my favorites. Love the trophy hunters who give me the meat. Bear fat if processed right will not turn rancid. Bears do not get cancer their fat is very medicinal, but have no proof to back up this statement. Good for cooking, the fat isn't as solid as lard have to add bees wax to salves.

I shot one who crawled in my car after a loaf of bread. Destroyed the inside of my car, it took out 4 inch poplar trees after I shot it for about 200 yards. Neighbor shot one in his kitchen.....bears are a big nucience this time of year...very hungry.
