You western boys, really need to get out of the local coon dog or cat bred dogs if you want walker bear dogs. I really feel sorry for you short comings, of being closed mined about plotts, but i guess if that is all you got that works, you have to put up with the many downfalls of them. Plotts are bear bred in general, easy to start on bear, and do a good job. A good bred for young guys to start out with, or your average rookie
As I have stated, i hunted them box fighting, tree fighting, dumb sob's for near ten years. Looking back, that is what made me a good houndman and trainer today, as if i had to go back to that stress just to kill something, honestly I would quit hunting, it simply isnt worth it to me. And nothing worse to see a few males turn two to three, and fight everything in front of them, and cull them because of it. And dont give me the crap of it was only me. This summer coming through town, a hunter had a sticker, plotts rule or something on his box. He stopped at the light, and the truck started shaking, as the sob's were fighting in the box at the light in town. Got a doctor buddy has a exceptional old plott that will jump about any bear. He has to ride outside the box, as you cant put another dog with him, at twelve, he still will box fight. So save them stories they dont fight with each other, for kids that will listen to you
WI, is known to have as good of bear hunting as anywhere in the usa. Plotts, and walkers dominate. I love to train young dogs, play with breeding, but I can assure you of one thing. My last crew of grade walker mutts, jumped and treed 90 plus percent of any bear they were put on, and done it with style. they were all litter mates at three years old. I sold that crew to a man in N.C. right on the coast, hunting them big bastards. Last week they killed 16 bear over them dogs, all of them cut up, staples, and one killed by a bear. I've got another here, on a bad bear his shoulder is so broke up he is done for life, which happened this summer. So, my point, there is several guys here with walkers, that get it done walker style, so you boys need to open your eyes, or quit trashing walkers, or come on back here, and let them spank you stupid plott
to open your eyes
Oh, by the way, I will back this up with phone numbers, not talking out my
, and these dogs will only see ten to twenty feet, not half way across the country like you hunt.
And just in case you never seen pics of a 40 plus pound bobcats, I've killed with this line, I can show you that to, If you plott boys arent careful, you might just learn something
