We're new subscribers. Thanks for a great video!! Beautiful, well trained dogs!! Many of my students brought bear meat to school for lunch. The meat was cut in small cubes, cooked with taters and onions. I heated it up hot for the kids in the microwave. Many students/families had plott hounds but some had treeing Walkers and black and tans. Ever lose a dog to a bear? Some bears took off dog's shoulder and leg with one swipe!

Kevin Roberts - As I understand it, hunting with dogs is about as cruel, barbaric and inhumane a method of hunting as you can get! The bears are stalked and chased to exhaustion by the dogs and are often actually set on by the dogs and literally ripped apart alive. If that isn't inhumane then I don't know what is! Sick fucking people! But Karma is truly a bitch and God will have a nice warm place in hell waiting for them - and that makes me very happy!

Being from Tennessee myself it is nice to see someone catch the human side of this story, men like the ones shown in this video are a rare breed! To capture these moments when a man is proud to see his work in action, the dogs to deliver as they were trained and people enjoying being together in a beautiful place is priceless!

Love his podcast!!

I'm glad people are out here preserving our Appalachian culture. My grandfather used to tell me about bear hunting when he was young.

I will NEVER forget...To set the scene, My Father and a few of his friends use to Deer Hunt in Cherokee National Forrest. They use to back pack in from Indian Boundary into the Jeffrey's Hell/Cardiac Arrest(their name for it?) Hill. I had heard stories and seen their successes, one was them getting 5 Bucks and hearing about packing it ALL back out..... My first time there was to scout for sign and do some Ruffed Grouse hunting, dad heard from one of the guys, he had jumped "A BUNCH" walking the trail to their old camping area. As it happened, when we got there The North Carolina Side of this area was having Dog Bear hunt going on. It was pretty cold and the Clouds were freezing onto the limbs and brush, just a couple of feet above our heads. Then the HOWLING commenced....maybe it was the freezing clouds, making the Tenor of these howls sound amplified, but I got Goose Bumps. That was ABSOLUTELY an UN FORGETTABLE scene. It went on for hours after day break, we just sat in truck and listened untill the clouds broke and we could see further than 10 yards,lol. We jumped 1 Grouse....needless to say he pitched off across the steepest holler I have ever seen! The BS factor was IN EFFECT(no dogs), had I taken the shot and got him...I believe it would have taken all day to slide down and retrieve him, let alone climb back out LOL. No thanks! I looked at my Father when we reached "THEIR" camp sight..."You guys are CRAZY"...well they did ALL work for TVA Nuclear...Homer Simpsons, one and all!!! Ever tried to Pheasant Hunt with a bunch of TVA folk? Thats another story unto itself...if you know TVA guys YOU ALREADY KNOW!!! Thanks for the Video,Sir! Brought back some wonderful memories!

Great film! So neat to see our history and culture continued.

Man Roy is such a lovable character

Nice footage and story for sure.... I’m from East Tennessee and the best days of my life was spent behind a hound !!!!! Thanks for the video

Mike 67 right on. Thanks for watching.

Brings tears to my eyes. I used to run beats in my home territory of northern Wisconsin. That first bawling echo through the forest at dawn, gave me chills. Hell. Still does. Many ran Plotts. I preferred Redbone dogs. But regardless of breed, it was the chase we lived for. Many think it's cruel. Yet some of these folks are hunters and wouldn't be fought dead in the pheasant fields without their trusty pointer. Not much difference in my minds eye. It's the chase that matters most. It's that eerie echo of the pack through the swamps and hemlock ridges. The chatter on the radio of everyone and their excitement or disappointment. The stories. The fellowship. The brotherhood and the bloodlines. The bonds created for life. That, and that alone is what being a hound owner is about. Many will never get to feel that. Many will express disdain. But I, I will know the song of hounds of antiquity. I will know the passion of man and beast. I will know the struggle of life and death. For I am a hound dog man. I will be so until I die. Great piece.

Great hunt! This video is truly magnificent - I share your passion for hound hunting and love my dogs as much as my children. This sport is the most fun in life I have ever had.

Thank you for keeping the good ol days in the front of my mind!

Heard you went on a mountain lion hunt, are we gonna get to see it? I sure am hoping so !!

Bet them ol folks could tell some tall tales. I’d sure like to hear em. Lol

A friend of mine had two Plotts brought to him to hunt cats (bobcats to the nonhunter) on the big ranch country in South Texas. These two hounds were from out of state and added to his pack of Treeing Walkers. Not only did they fight cats well, they fought the Treeing Walkers harder than they fought bobcats and fought each other constantly. It got so bad he sold them to another houndsman near San Antonio. On another note; I am glad to see the houndsman tradition so strong in other parts of the country. It is nearly dead in South Texas ( not to be confused with East Texas). All the old time houndsmen families are gone, Mills, Murphy, Snow, Davidson, Gray, Ward, Reyas. Most houndsmen now have turned to hog hunting in this area.

Yep because trophy hunters did an excellent job maintaining wildlife in & around Yellowstone when almost all the natural predators were removed to appease them. Between beavers excessively blocking rivers & overpopulated elk, deer & bison herds grazing so heavily they were dying of starvation can't see where trophy hunters went wrong (sarcasm). But then there's a reason why real hunters rarely call trophy hunters real or men as they often know jackshit about the wildlife they hunt or the ecosystems.

However, it doesn't take a nuclear physicist to see that was an unsafe crossfire shot in any situation. Please understand that I'm a real hunter and I understand it and have seen it from every angle over the years. I'm not a weekend warrior nor am I an armchair quarterback. Hunting is what I live for. I also want to live to hunt another day, and it's for that reason the individual that took that shot (as well as anyone who tried to justify that as a safe shot) would never hunt with us again.

@Rara Neagra If anyone here is "a 24 pack of beer gulping morons that can't put down the channel changer & trolling hunting videos", it's you......jack ass. Anyone with at least half a brain can clearly see that was a very unwise crossfire situation. Anytime you can see dogs, bears, or any other animal for that matter, broadsided like that, in the middle of the shot being fired and the cameraman or anyone else being in the same position, is NOT a safe situation to be in. Did the camera view show us "looking DOWN and seeing the top of the backs of the dogs & bear"??? NO, IT DID NOT. I agree 100% with Bo Weavil, and that was indeed an unwise decision to be in a crossfire position like that. Literally anything can happen: a hunter can stumble, trip, or something else to cause "a hunting accident". And that ain't no pea shooter he was firing either. A wise viewer/true hunter can't even post a criticizing comment that makes total sense, without some jack ass troll like you calling them names or stupid labels you dream up in your feeble mind, as you hide in cyberspace like a damned coward.

I immediately made eye contact with my buddy as we both realized the gravity of the situation. I brought it up to the dude and he says nah I knew what I was doing the angle was fine... my logic is, if you're a marine veteran, you SHOULD know what you are doing and have enough experience to know better than to do something that stupid and dangerous. It's elementary gun safety. You'll never get enough training and experience that the fundamentals no longer apply to you.

Dear Bear Hunting magazine, could I first of all congratulate and thank you for the most wonderful footage of not just the hunting of Bears, but also about the history of the great people and dogs involved. I'm from a England, a place near "Sherwood forest", Nottinghamshire and famous for the Major Oak Tree and Robin Hood. Here in England we have many field sports and of course this country was famous for our love of hunting, especially (Fox Hunting) with hounds. We also have terriers, once bred to go to ground after the formidable Badger. We can still use terriers for fox control of which it is our role to protect game birds on keepered estates.However, we unfortunately don't have the larger quarry to hunt like you people have with the Bears. "I also find it quite remarkable when a certain person wishes death upon a fellow human being, just because of something they perhaps strongly disagree with. These animal-rights nutters have an hatred for anyone who hunts and they are not pro-animal but misanthropists of the highest order! They are somewaht guided by the anti-hunt material and propaganga used by the animal-rights fanatical organizations."What a wonderful story told by the lady Elizabeth of her students taking Bear meat to school. Wonderful! Apologies for my short response to once again a great and wonderful piece of footage on Bear hunting. I wish all the American people a very nice nice day with all our love from England.
