Dogs chase away grizzly bear near Bynum (video) [View all]

Being a rancher in Montana is a difficult job, with challenges ranging from sub-zero weather to drought to dangerous predators, but Bynum-area rancher Steve Skelton has some four-legged friend to help protect his livestock.

Among the sheep at his ranch, you’ll see several dogs, but they’re not there for play.

On Friday morning (June 1st), Skelton captured a brief video showing two of his dogs chasing a grizzly bear away.

“Their idea is not to kill, maim, or rip up predators, their idea is to make it hard for a predator to want a meal out of my sheep,” said Skelton. “The bear is just going to walk on and say this is too hard of a meal to buy, I’m going to go somewhere else.”
