If this is a "bear in the yard" thing, I'd practice the old 3S System we use around here.
1. Shoot - and kill the dang thing! ESPECIALLY if it threatens you!
2. Shovel - a hole and bury it deep! ESPECIALLY if it's your neighbors large, ill-tempered dog!
3. Shut-up! Tell your wife that fresh dirt in the backyard is her new flower bed and if she'll tell you what she wants in it, you'll gladly and lovingly plant it yourself!
If it's a griz on a Nat'l Forest trail somewhere, ya might oughta call a game ossifer!

notify a game warden no matter where you are. Almost all of them will take the meat to local shelters and you can usually get the hide for the price of a tag unless it is protected like grizzlies in the lower 48 then the hide will usually go to local museums or local schools to use for education.

I agree with the above comments you should call law enforcement. No untagged wild game will ever go inside my freezer.
In my home state you can't pick up a fresh road kill deer unless you have a transportation tag from the local police. A dead bear on the road is confiscated by the Fish and Game for testing and research.
