Hunters - Game Animals & Rabies?

[sparrowgrass]

Bears and pigs are not very closely related, but the meat is very similar in flavor, and in fat content. Any of the old pork recipes (where the pork is thoroughly cooked) would work, and your guests probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

When I made my ex bear chops, his only comment was the the chops were cut funny.

Well since the thread was started again (lol).... I keep up with rabies and everything I've read or heard says it can only be transmitted in the late stages.... which is within ten days before the infected animal dies. That is why a dog that bites someone need only be quarrantined ten days. If it doesn't die, even if it had rabies the virus could not be transmitted to the bitten victim. However, if a dog (unvaccinated) tangles with an unknown critter and comes home scratched up, then it is supposed to be quarrantined 90 days because it can take at least that long for the virus to incubate. It can actually take up to a year, but the quarrantine period is never that long.
