I just came across this quote today from a Yosemite park ranger,
"There is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the
smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."

 Categories: Canadian, Bear, Stews, Dumplings
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
    1/2 lb Lean bear meat
      1 tb Drippings
      1    Onion
      1 tb Vinegar
      1 tb Flour
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
      1 qt Cold water
           SAVORY BALLS:
      2 c  Flour
      3    Sprigs parsley chopped fine
      1 ts Baking powder
      4 tb Suet, cut finely
    1/4 ts Pepper
      1 ts Salt
      1 sm Onion, chopped fine
    1/2 ts Sweet herbs, powdered
 
  Heat drippings in a very hot cast iron frying pan. Peel and slice
  onion, then brown it in the drippings. Shake in the flour and brown
  it also. Add the water, vinegar, salt and pepper and the meat.
  Simmer for 2 hours. After it has simmered for 1 hour
  
  Prepare the savory balls: Mix all these together, make a stiff dough
  with cold water. Divide into 12 balls, roll each lightly in flour
  and drop them into the stew. They will take 3/4 hour to cook and may
  be served on a separate dish as you would potatoes.
