Hey, bear! Woo! Harry, you see him in
the creek right there? He’s got a hold of Mort, Kidd. Go up a tree. Woo! NARRATOR: In the cliffs rising
from Idaho’s Boise River– Let’s climb out of here. NARRATOR: Brothers
Kidd and Harry Youren are on the hunt for
greener pastures. Let’s see if we
can get up high, get out of this river bottom
through these rocks up there. I think we can get up to
that last little bit of rocks and get on that big
ridge and see all of it. This is some big
damn country here. Very big. You don’t realize
how big it is when you’re down on the river. Yeah. NARRATOR: But if they find
suitable grassland, bringing cattle in later through
the steep mountain pass will be worth the
time and effort. This area we’re going to look
at is National Forest land. So if it all works out, we’ll
start the permit process and hopefully get
some cows up here and graze them for
the summertime. Big. Damn, that’s a big
drainage out there. There’s a really big valley
up to the north here. You can run cows in here
for two or three months. NARRATOR: 1,000 head of cattle
need at least 2,000 acres to feed on, and this open
country may be just what the brothers are looking for. These dogs are splitting
and kind of going both ways. They’re moving
something going that way. Whatever it is is hot. Yeah. Right here’s where
they come through. Oh yeah. You see they came right
off this ridge here. Hey. Look at that right there. Oh, that’s a bear track. They’re definitely
running a bear. Let’s hustle up to the top. Right behind you. We know it’s a black
bear because there are no grizzly bears in this area. It looks like we’re
going to go bear hunting. Black bears can be any
color from blond to cinnamon to chocolate. Hell, there’s even
been white ones. I can’t see anything. There he is. Oh, damn. It’s a big old bear. Any time your dog takes
off on a bear track, you’ve got to hustle. That’s the time to get going. NARRATOR: The hunting pack is
trained to stay on a target until they’re released
by Harry or Kidd. He’s going
underneath those trees on the far side of the creek. NARRATOR: But if they try to
face off with a bear this size, it could be deadly. If we drop down as
fast as we possibly can, we can do a little
ambush on him. And we can be on one side. Dogs can be on the other. That’s when he’ll pop up a tree. Woo! But we need to haul
ass and catch up. Hey, Har. Harry. He’s coming right down
that creek right there. Yeah, yeah.
What did you see? I’ll drop right in the bottom. You see if you can get
ahead of him right there. Yeah, yeah. NARRATOR: Now the
brothers are racing to intercept him and call off
the pack before one of the dogs gets injured or worse. That bear’s headed down
the creek right here. Kiddo’s in the bottom. Hopefully I can down here
at the same time as Harry. He should be able to
catch him from there, but if he comes
up the side at all trying to go back
where he came from, I’ll be up here waiting for him. Put that bear in
a pincer movement. We can make him go up a
tree if we can both get there at the same time. NARRATOR: If they can get
the bear to climb a tree, it will end the chase
and give them a chance to get the dogs to safety. I can hear the dogs. They’re not very
far in front of me. Running down this creek
bottom, it’s hard to keep going fast through here. It’s really thick and
brushy, but I can see Harry. He’s up above the
bear right now. I’m right down below it. It looks like our plan’s
all coming together. Hey, bear. Woo! Hey! Woo! Hey! In these high-adrenaline
situations, it’s really hard
to stick to a plan, but generally me and Kiddo’s
go-to move is trying to pinch them in between you,
and usually those bears will pop up a tree when
you’re on each side of them. Come on. Woo! The only problem
with this plan is the bear does not
want to climb a tree. NARRATOR: Though the
dogs outnumber the bear, if a predator this
powerful turns to strike, it could be game over. Harry, you see him in
the creek right there. Yeah. He’s got a hold of Mort, Kidd. Go up a tree. Woo! I seen him turn
around and smack my dog right on top of the head. I mean, it hit him hard. And this bear will
not go up the tree. Our dogs, they
aren’t going to quit. They’re just going to go
until they get beat up and can’t move no more. NARRATOR: If the bear
won’t back off now, there may be only
one way to end this and extract the dog safely. For some reason, this
bear swims across the creek and is coming right back
down the drainage towards us. The dogs haven’t
made it across yet. If we’re going to shoot
him, this is the time. Go for it then. You got him? Yeah. These bears, they’re
creatures of habit. When you get one that
starts slapping dogs, he’s going to keep doing it. That’s a good chance
that someone or our dogs can get hurt. NARRATOR: The brothers
didn’t come here expecting to take home
a fur, but they’ve turned a bad situation
into an opportunity. This bear’s going to give us,
oh, at least 250 to 300 pounds of meat we can use,
plus we can sell this hide for, like, $500, $600. There we go. We definitely don’t go
around just shooting bears for no reason,
but now that we’re going to be running cattle,
you really don’t want to have an aggressive bear out here. If there’s one thing you
can say about our lifestyle, it’s certainly not
predictable, and there’s never a dull moment.

Were these people on Federal land allowed to just kill a bear and take it home? Is that even legal? Why didn't they call off their dogs as soon as they saw what was happening? I've been backpacking and came right up on the trail and saw a black bear (cinnamon colored), a moment later her little cub arrived. I just took photographs. We were not allowed to bring bear spray, weapons or anything of that kind. No dogs allowed because they attract bears.
A 1911 on a bear?
It worked, but badly.
Maybe you shouldn't be in that bears home.
I don't buy it
WHAAAOW
“If the bear won’t back off now” – pretty sure these dudes were at fault for not having control of their dogs and setting them on the bear by omission
NEVER wear an ANIMAL HIDE WHILE IN THE WILD! It will get you HEAD SHOT by an impatient IDIOT!
My hats off to you brothers I'm severely jealous tho
So let me get this straight. You guys chased a bear with your dogs, killed the bear, then justified it and said your intentions were not to kill the bear when it obviously was. Now I see why humans are considered as a cancer cell to the planet. The bear did nothing to get killed.
Wow it says 20 comments but I only count eight sounds like a lot of people are angry on this video probably about the dogs attacking animals that just want to be left alone
No its not idaho is a place north of los Angeles
Lookey yonder comin, comin down that mountain, my dogs a sayin its a good hunting day.
the urine brothers seem like a couple of jack-offs
It was a staged bear hunt,not a dog rescue
They're after the bear fur and meat since the beginning.
Don't you whiny little ANTIS have some tofu or broccoli to go hunt. It was a perfectly legal hunt or it wouldn't have been filmed and it definitely would have never aired…
Right he shoots it with a pistol,there on goverment land just happened on a bear, the dogs run it down and they say they really didnt want to kill a bear.Why dont they just eat one of the cattle that they are raising…Couple of dipshits
Disgrace….ruthless attemt…they have no pity…they killed Indians like a bear…
You could have called your dogs off that bear wasn't hurting anyone, matter of fact if I was being chased by a pack of dogs and 2 hillbilly inbreds I think I would have turned around and smacked them in the lips as well, maybe a bit harder than the bear did.
Video needs more thumbs down
These two idiots and the bear hunter on kodiak island are making me really dislike this show. I’m outdoorsman, I hunt and fish. These 3 idiots give us guys a bad name. The scripted writings, this “bear attack” the old man on kodiak taking irresponsible pot shots at dear…total shitheads.
American gun law! The modern day babylonia!
I love your post!
Liars …they could have called off the dogs they wanted that bear from the beginning
Killed the bear because your dogs can't listen? Bs
That’s sad
Those guys are experiencing a dream come true. They got to choose a new grazing field for the cattle, clear the area of dangerous animals and, at the same time, reap the cash rewards of $500 for the Bear fur and 250 pounds of high protein content meat. And, it WAS done legally according to the BLM and other Forestry guidelines. But, they need to put those remote control electric shock treatment neck collars on those dogs to force them to leave the wild bears they are chasing when it gets a little too dangerous.
Haha this show its funny what a bunch of shitheads lmao , aggressive bear 😅😅 get a life
God will hunt you
Sorry excuse for killing that bear it was running away all the time
That was a cgi bear
That was savage
What a jerk, your in bear country not dog country the bear was only defending himself, i never seen a more useless kill.🐸
You don't even have a permit to put on the federal land,how come a game warden didn't arrest both for shooting a bear without a permit i seen people go to jail for shooting bear that was on federal property the dog did this to it self
But Yogi Mr ranger said not to play with your food. Hey BOO Boo I couldn't find any pikinik baskets
