I agree with Howler... I have huntedbear to birds with dogs. Granddad was a houndsman from @$LL. Can't remember any hunt that was easy for bear or lion. Running behind a pack of hounds is thrilling to say the least. Stillhound hunt bear and cats and 1 out of 10 chases might end at the tree. Nothing easy about that. I also agree with Stack62 sounds like somebody wanting to cause problems with hunters and make judgements on the ethics of hunting with hounds and/or baiting bear.
