What he was saying was that if the bear was coming onto the property to get the livestock, he should shoot the bear (legal) instead of have the dog who is protecting the livestock chase it off (supposedly illegal, according to DOW).

Of course it makes more sense to have the dog chase off the bear, since the bear is just doing what bears do and the dog is just doing what he's trained to do. No harm done, but DOW is giving him grief about it.
