I love my plott. She come from a breeder out west. She wasn't a great hunter but she's a great companion. I've had her for 9 years now. Through loyalty she wants to hunt now. Such a fearless dog to. I've seen her do things I didn't know dogs could do like run up a tree or run up the side of a truck going 30mph. I called th Jackie Chan of dogs when she was younger. Nothing out there like a plott. She's a good deer tracker and has taken a fancy to treeing squirrels.
That was awesome advice. I was fortunate to read “the locating treedog” by Obe Corey back in the 70’s when I was starting. I already had a couple local dogs, but Obe gave the same advice so I dug in and spent months studying and drove to Missouri and bought the best bred pup I could find even though I couldn’t really afford it. That dog paid for itself many times over and actually made a noticeable difference in the bear dogs of the Northwest. Great advice! You could save someone a ton of money in the long run.
Not a bear,Cat,Hunter, But I live in central florida,And Those plot hounds are awesome as a cold nose,trail, bay, Long legged,run for hours, Excellent with the warmer weather,Top Notch for hog hunting,I myself use BMC Cur dog's, Gritty, Love the videos, keep em coming, Good luck this year hunting, Good luck Brother's..
I knew people that had , bay, trailing, and catch dogs for hogs, all different breeds, almost always pits for catching and pointer/hound mixes and curs for baying and trailing. Once they got Plotts they did it all! The plott could do all the jobs, of course some do certain jobs better but they didn't need a big pack of dogs and a catch being held back on a leash while they got where they were bayed up. They are amazing smart fearless dogs
@@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705 Awesome Brother, What Breed of Plots,What breeder in your opinion,Has The best plot Bloodline for Hogs? I live in Central Florida.
Sir iv got a plott that is a rescue he looks so much like your pups they are awesome looking dogs my boy is pushing 75 pounds now big boy Leroy we call him haha going to watch a few more of your videos now
Those are some beautiful Plott females built like they supposed to be! I have a young Camo Jug bred Leopard hound 4 months old my first ever of the breed! His damn is out of a male that comes from Bobcat and Lion stock!
I had big Male Plott who was a great tracker but once he got to the end he would stop. He used grab rabbits show them to me and then put back where he got them. I think he if ever ran into bear he would have gotten stepped on.
my friend is having puppies. catahoula leopard/lab mix. the mom is purebred catahoula and the dad is pure lab. im hoping to use it for duck hunting but i have a lot to learn about catahoula breed since i just found out about the breed. only thing i know is they were used for hog hunting. not sure how the dog will perform with waterfowl but shall see
I live in East Tennessee getting ready to buy a couple 3 month old plot pups. I’m going to be training them on bear hunting what’s the best way to get them started. I use to coon hunt and just want to get on some big game. Can you give me some advise
I start all my pups on rabbits first. Then squirrels. After that a coon or two. After they are old enough then bear or bobcats depending upon the season.
Good looking Plotts, I especially like the first one. We run a few Plotts out here too. Keep the vids coming, I subscribed can't wait to see your next video.
See your Plotts actually look like hounds! I'm seeing so many "Plott hounds" that don't look hound at all, they have Plott colors but they are built more like curs, have lab ears and boxy snouts. Have you seen this on RUclips and the Internet? Some of these look more like bird dogs and retrievers than a hound . I love your dogs
Still mad at myself for cutting Hero's balls off. But I adopted him and I don't hunt and he was too aggressive...still is. Very assertive. Smart. he can tree naturally. Scent tracking is decent. I feel bad I didn't let him go somewhere else when I adopted him.
Plus these dogs are big babies and will be your best friend for life. You can see that in the video. I call my 13 year old Miss Crazy. She is way slowed down now at 13 years old. She did an 8 mile hike with us a couple of weeks ago though. She still wants to be out there.
Jeremy Drozda The answer here in Maine and other northern states is an easy one. It’s a good question. We hunt cats in the winter. The bears are in hibernation. It is possible for the dogs to make a mistake in the fall however it rarely happens.
I am looking for a new bear hound I will hunt Brown bear and Wild boar whit it. Do you now off any that selling to Sweden. My is to old now and its hear last year now
This is a series of questions to better understand the training! Do you train all the dogs to run everything or certain dogs get different amounts of training and tracking? In other words if ranger is your lead bear dog you let him pick up the track and then pack the others is it the same way with bobcat or do you use Sally for tracking a cat and pack the rest to her?
I miss and match. I want them to all be top hounds. Each one gets a chance to perform alone and in company. Sally ranger piper all can do it all. However I use only Ranger to blood trail wounded game.
@@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705 thank you I asked only because most people I know pick one game species to train a dog on however your hounds are very versatile and we'll rounded
I owned lots of dogs....got wise.I agree with well bred dogs. I actually haven't seen a dog from this line but agree. Nice looking Plotts,could you post a 7 Gen pedigree? Nice hounds and like that white patch,many saddle backs as well?
@@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705 if they were dropped years ago you still know the breeding? Honestly I'd like to know,there good looking dogs.Good job and thanks again.
Anybody ever want some good hound reading and advice,I'd advise you to read"walk with wick"written by john wick.Great reading.Just stumbled on this channel.Up here in northeastern ontario.Take care.
That won’t happen. Once they start in cats they will not bother a rabbit. It only happened to me two or three times in 50 years. What will mess up your cat hunt is a hound that can’t handle a track. I’m just saying.
Agreed, I had a tiny red tick who in her youth was about 55 pounds and was the leader. She would give an unruly dog the evil eye and they would fall into line.
I love my plott. She come from a breeder out west. She wasn't a great hunter but she's a great companion. I've had her for 9 years now. Through loyalty she wants to hunt now. Such a fearless dog to.

Glad to hear. She sounds like a fine hound.
Your channel is underrated. You deserve more subscribers. I’m getting pumped watching your videos.
Not many people think dead bears and bobcats are thrilling.
Most people after all have conscience.
Thank you
Yes sir good looking hounds 👍
Thank you
I have an American Leopard Hound out of Arkansas and she’s fabulous. I also have an American foxhound but he’s retired. A plott is gonna be our next!!
Totally agree. Ours came from top blood lines and never lets us down.
I can tell your dogs really love you. Active buggers...that is because they are happy and healthy. Great hunters already I bet. Good luck with them.
Thank you

Yes. I hog hunted in Florida for 17 years with plotts.

Billy Powell Thank you. Should make you a great hound.
Bro I would love to have another plot hound! If u ever have any pups let me know because I grew up with em and would love to have another!
I had big Male Plott who was a great tracker but once he got to the end he would stop. He used grab rabbits show them to me and then put back where he got them. I think he if ever ran into bear he would have gotten stepped on.

Yeah I doubt those are real plotts. I know what you’re talking about. I had one and he had the hound head too
Still mad at myself for cutting Hero's balls off. But I adopted him and I don't hunt and he was too aggressive...still is. Very assertive. Smart. he can tree naturally. Scent tracking is decent. I feel bad I didn't let him go somewhere else when I adopted him.
Would a Plott Hound be a good companion dog instead of using for hunting, as long as one gave the dog plenty of yard space and exercise?
Tinyfată Oh yes! Especially if you could adopt a retired hound. They make great companions.
@@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705 Thanks. :)
Tinyfată I have two plotts great dogs. They’re great with the grandkids we walk about four miles every day they sleep in the house at night
@@namleets57 That's cool. :)
I see Plotts !!!
Plus these dogs are big babies and will be your best friend for life. You can see that in the video. I call my 13 year old Miss Crazy. She is way slowed down now at 13 years old. She did an 8 mile hike with us a couple of weeks ago though. She still wants to be out there.
How do you teach dogs to hunt multiple species of game, because if they're running cat when they should be on bear, how do tell what there on
Jeremy Drozda The answer here in Maine and other northern states is an easy one. It’s a good question. We hunt cats in the winter. The bears are in hibernation. It is possible for the dogs to make a mistake in the fall however it rarely happens.
Great video and nice hounds. Do you have trouble with those stinking wolves? Enjoy your video.
I don’t have problems with the wolves here in Maine, but I have heard some terrible stories that never end well.
@@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705 yes sir they're a bad deal.
Thanks for the video ! I run Plotts also. What bloodlines do your Plotts go back to.
Mel Utter, Great question! Please
e-mail Sam Natole directly mainecathunter@yahoo.com
Love to talk hounds!
I enjoyed this video! Thank you!
I am looking for a new bear hound I will hunt Brown bear and Wild boar whit it. Do you now off any that selling to Sweden. My is to old now and its hear last year now
It's a female I am looking for
I don’t know of any.
I adopted my plott and omg! She is nonstop! I absolutely adore her, my daisydukes
So would you say that plots are good all around hunting dogs ?
Absolutely, yes sir!
Lessen told ,, get the right dog so you can learn from the dog ..
This is a series of questions to better understand the training!

Great Question! Please send a direct e-mail to Sam Natole at mainecathunter@yahoo.com
What bloodline plott run's?...
I owned lots of dogs....got wise.I agree with well bred dogs. I actually haven't seen a dog from this line but agree. Nice looking Plotts,could you post a 7 Gen pedigree? Nice hounds and like that white patch,many saddle backs as well?
The papers were dropped years ago.
@@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705 if they were dropped years ago you still know the breeding? Honestly I'd like to know,there good looking dogs.Good job and thanks again.
Do these dogs bite the animal or just tree it?
👍😃✌️
Do you sell any of your pups ?
Not normally. But on occasion. Thank you for asking
Anybody ever want some good hound reading and advice,I'd advise you to read"walk with wick"written by john wick.Great reading.Just stumbled on this channel.Up here in northeastern ontario.Take care.
Thank you for the recommendation!
And thank you for sticking around and watch some videos! Appreciate it!
If you train them on rabbits want that mess up your cat hunt? I don’t want my dog to keep chasing rabbits instead of the target
That won’t happen. Once they start in cats they will not bother a rabbit. It only happened to me two or three times in 50 years. What will mess up your cat hunt is a hound that can’t handle a track. I’m just saying.
Good to know, thank you. That’ll make it much easier to train with something readily available
Alpha females are good hunters . My female Trigg is ridiculous.
Agreed, I had a tiny red tick who in her youth was about 55 pounds and was the leader. She would give an unruly dog the evil eye and they would fall into line.
Your dogs have no traning SMH
Interesting. Why do you say that?
