It takes one dog to tree a bear. It happens all the time.

Lot of guys say that its dangerous to run just one or two dogs, but I don't feel its any more of a risk than we take when we unsnap them under any other circumstance.

Two dogs is plenty if they are the right dogs. You can do better with one of the right kind, than with 20 of the wrong kind.


I'd say if its just your average bear, he's gonna run and pop up a tree, or just keep on runnin for his life. If he's a little ornery, I'd say them dogs aren't gonna pester him too much. It'd take a pretty brave dog to get its self into serious trouble by itself on the first bear its ever seen.
