Bear Grills: A Bear Meat Recipe Competition

The 2020 Bear Grills Competition is Closed


Do you have what it takes to make it out alive from one of the most dangerous places on earth? The WWF Team is referring to the sort of places you wouldn’t last a day without the right survival skills. WWF vs. The Kitchen*.

*Originally intended to say WILD. Bear wrestling and eating cactus to stay alive were on the agenda but since we are all self-distancing to help flatten the COVID-19 curve, this was a safer option – check back with us in 2021 for bear wrestling.

Bear season is upon us and we are hoping you will show us your most fantastic and mind-blowing skills in the kitchen. We expect culinary masterpieces (a solid burger recipe will also be looked on favorably) made from this season’s big game table fare – black bear.

Tell us where you are from, what your recipe is called, and how to craft your masterpiece in the kitchen.

There will be fire…there will be heat…there will be fearless and creative competition as home chefs go head to head. There will be only one winner (plus 4 other winners, but who’s counting).

Upload your favorite bear meat recipe here and be entered to win one of five prizes:

1. Tailgater Portable Grill Package + WBF Membership

2. Mystery Ranch Metcalf Backpack (Winner to choose frame size and color) + WBF Membership
