:17:00
- Take it easy, boy.
- But what happened, Pa? What done it?
:17:06
Bear. A big one. Look there.
:17:10
One toe's missing
on the right front paw. Old Slewfoot!
:17:14
Old Slewfoot.
:17:16
But none of the dogs bayed, Pa.
:17:19
None. He had the wind in his favor.
:17:21
He knew what he was doing.
:17:23
We got to get him.
We obliged to get it.
:17:26
I'm daresome to break the news to Ma.
:17:29
What happened?
What you two doing?
:17:32
What's the matter with you two?
I've been calling...
:17:46
- Bear?
- It's Old Slewfoot, Ma!
:17:50
Old Slewfoot. That dad-ratted,
no-account varmint!
:17:55
IKilling and not even eating
what he kills!
:17:57
I hate that.
Last year it was our brood sow.
:18:04
- Them dogs asleep right there!
- No dog's as smart as that bear.
:18:08
- They could have barked!
- We got meat to eat for a while.
:18:12
Meat now and none this winter.
:18:15
- You aiming to get after that bear?
- I'll get after him now.
:18:19
Can I go with you this time?
Can I, Pa?
:18:22
- Hunting bears is man's work.
- I can do it! I know I can.
:18:27
Don't ask for mercy
when it gets rough.
:18:30
- Oh, no, Pa! No, Pa!
- You ain't taking him?
:18:33
He's got to learn.
:18:34
Jody, turn the new dog loose.
Ma, you get my gun and rations.
