How much pressure ?

On a bear.
I'm not talking lay ups.
How close do you want to see your hounds on a running bear, bayed up and when trying to get it up a tree on a bear that just plain doesnt want to tree?
Any good footage people want to share of dogs actually working a bear ?
There is a lof of variables here, terrain they're running in, obstacles to bay up against or lack of, terrain breaks where its just not possible to get on the same level as the bear to really pressure up a tree (big problem here), physical stamina (first few races can often leave the hounds whipped and far behind) etc etc.
From one dog to a pack of dogs I'm curious what people think really needs to happen on a bear that doesnt want to tree.
Discuss.
