BUT, don't let any
notion like this get you into trouble. Now, I am not running down
dogs as a means of getting bear; I love them and would now have a
good pack if it was possible to run them in the game fields of this
State, but you don't want to think that they can handle a grizzly
like they do a black bear. In fact, I would place no value on them
whatsoever as a safeguard in case a grizzly got on the pack, and I
am speaking from experience, mind you. No, a good little shepherd
would do more than a dozen regular bear dogs, but there is only
about one little shepherd like I speak of in a lifetime.
"If you can use the bow from horseback, here is a safe proposition,
and I believe a practical one, too. But I don't feel that there is
really so much danger in the game after all, as it is only once in
a great while that any bear will go up against the human animal,
and then is most likely to be when you are not expecting it at all.
Don't worry about it. What I am thinking about most is to get the
opportunity to get the first arrow into some good big worthy old
boy that will be a credit to the expedition.
