Recipe worked, well, but I had to guess what to do with the onions and celery. Sautéed onions in butter for a minute while the bear was at 500, and covered the bear with them and the celery when dropping the temp to 325. Turned out okay, but was that what I was supposed to do with them?

Excellent!!! My SIL shot a bear this fall when he went hunting with his dad in the UP of Michigan. He gave me a shoulder roast. I made your recipe with the roast. It was simple to prepare. The smell from the roast when it was cooking was wonderful. After removing the roast from the pan, I made the gravy following the recipe as described, it was also very easy. The roast and gravy were wonderful, very tasty and extremely tender. We have never eaten bear before. I am glad I chose this recipe as a starter. We will be getting more from my SIL when he gets it from the butcher. I am looking forward to making that also. Thank you for posting it!!
