"Some bears turn carnivorous just afore they go into hibernation and go after calves and chickens." says Hulet. "If I know what they're eating, I know where to find 'em." To corner them, Hulet uses half a dozen hounds of his own special mongrel breed: one-quarter pit bull, one-eighth Australian cattle dog, and the remainder Redbone or Walker...
