Hunting Dog Trees Black Bear

Occurred on September 29, 2021 / Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA

: "Rambler is our Mountain Cur hunting dog. I was out picking mushrooms on a September afternoon when Rambler picked up the scent and disappeared up the mountain. I didn’t realize it was a bear until I caught up with him about 300 yards up the side of the mountain. Most of the Cur breeds are bred to track and tree animals. I wasn’t expecting a bear because we only target raccoons and squirrels. He had the bear treed for a couple of minutes when I caught up to him and was able to catch a little video and call him off. The bear went on his way up the mountain a little tired but not harmed. This is his first full year hunting as a young pup. This was a good encounter for both animals. This bear was close to cabins and learning to be a trash hound."
