Bear Dogs?

What fire medic says is the truth. Those 120# -180# bears can flat run a dog down & catch him. The bigger bear normally do not do as much damage altho when they do catch a dog, that dog knows about it.
A lot of the real hard fighting dogs on bear are catchdogs on hogs. They just do not respect a hog like they do a bear. I have seen some dogs so bearwhipped that the minute they smell a bear, they tuck their tail between their legs & look for a place to hide.
The toughest bearhunting I have done is in fla. where it is wet & thick.Back when fla. had a seaason. The coast of N.C. is almost identical. The easiest bearhunting I have done is NW Wisc. & Onterio. No matter where tho, like a hog, a bear will take you to the thickest place they can find.
