Bear Meat Loaf by Daniel J. Kalagian
3 lbs ground bear meat 1 lb ground beef (fatty)
3 cans Campbell's French onion soup
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs
1 can mushrooms 8 oz or larger
1/4 cup ketchup
garlic powder (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)

This recipe is very simple heck I invented it so how hard can it be. 
First drain the broth out of 2 cans of the French onion soup and set aside. Next put the other ingredients (except 3rd can of soup) into a mixing bowl. Add the onions from the two cans of soup and mix well. 
Put into roasting pan and pour broth and the third can of onion soup over top. Set oven at 350 degrees and cook for 2 1/2 hours or until done. 
Make sure that the meat is thoroughly cooked.

Bear Recipe by Jeff Bruenenn

1-2 lb of venison or bear steaks
1 qt of tomato juice
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 medium onion (diced)

Cook meat until thoroughly cooked in a slow cooker or crock pot.
Drain off fat and add ingredients above. 
Let simmer for at least 4 hours. 
I recommend serving with mashed potatoes as the gravy is excellent on them. This recipe is simple to prepare and doesn't take a lot of special ingredients.  Everyone that I have served venison or bear with this recipe loves it and would swear that it was not wild game.

1 onion, finely chopped 
1 carrot, diced 
2 sticks celery, diced 
1 tsp. paprika 
1 cup cider 
2 tbsps. orange juice 
1 tbsps. lemon juice 
1 clove garlic, mashed 
1 bay leaf 
1 dash nutmeg 
1/2 tsp. dry mustard 

Combine ingredients in enamelware pan. 
Slowly bring to boiling point.  Boil for 5 minutes. 
Marinate bear meat for several hours. 
Above ingredients will marinate enough meat for approximately 3 people.  Double recipe if serving more than 3. 
Place meat over fire, roast and baste frequently with this sauce.
