To bad some of you guys dont get out much The good part about plotts, it dont take to much talent to train them as they dont have much for brains

Not a lion hunter but have and do prefer both plotts and walkers. They both have thier strenghts and weaknesses. As for the additude of plott owners it really is no differant than that of walker owners they both think they have the best damn dog in the woods. Thier both right. Thats why this thread is only about them.

Thats exactly why I use plotts. While those highly intelligent beagle looking dogs are trying to find the truck. Those plott dogs are putting game in the trees. So the WALKers can WALK in with the handler. So you are absolutly correct those walker dogs sure are smart. Their momma didnt raise no fool.

Its not hard to pick out the rookies Lets have plotts, and talk big, about the things they can do. Then I'm some body You guys are talking pretty smart about plotts walking on water, so here is the facts.

I ran plotts for ten years. I average around 45 to 60 bear a year treed. When i had plotts, depending on my work schedule,I had to keep twice as many as half were on the chain healing all the time. From bear or tree fights, or box fights. Oh, plotts guys call it bear fights Seven grand was my last year of vet bills, running plotts. I sold the whole works one fall to guys like you.

The last 15 years i run walkers, or grade dogs, my best year was 78 bear, and around two grand in vet bills or less, depends as I do most myself, so I dont think you need a calculator for this one do you? Your momma will also tell you , your nose will grow when you lie

Robb,
I can't cast a vote on this obviously biased poll. I haven't had a plott for about 25 years, and I just got my first - ever walker this summer. (She seems to be one heck of a deer and coyote dog. ) Now if you would have included blueticks, redticks, hightans, lowtans, black and tans, and ANY combination of these, I could have gladly chimed in!!! So for now, you'll have to catch me in the coffee shop waiting on Buddy to ok the sale of beer!

Well Benny, maybe we should start a poll about the blues, high tans, so you can argue debate with these guys also, hate to leave you left out Buddy was hunting, might be entertainment for us, while your waiting for his ok on the sale of beer

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on the sale of beer at the Coffee Shop. Buddy was just complaining about the trouble of trying to obtain the Liquor Licenses in 50 states as well as a dozen other countries. My understanding is his wife got tired of it and made him take her hunting.

He knew I would be around because I prefer to stay by the heater and talk about hunting so he asked if I would make the coffee every morning. I strongly suggest not drinking from the pot in the Plott Section, I have been using dirty toilet bowl water for the last two and a half weeks. Those Plott guys are so tough they haven't even noticed. But then again, it could be because they have no taste.

George,
I knew that if I could tough it out long enough, we could get this topic swayed in the direction of the coffee shop, where we take things a little lighter! Now, since there doesn't seem to be any beer around, and I haven't even tried to remember that Irish coffee recipe of Posse's, can I at least get some Bailey's in my coffee?

As I stated earlier. Of course the vet bills are going to be lower.Because thry are trying to find the truck. I guess they could maybe break a nail, on tree laying across the trail on their way out. I hunt five days a week. And have run plotts for nine years now and have only culled one bad plott dog. I have 10 walker dogs and had to cull all. And I'll tell ya what those black feet hold up alot better than those tender footed pink dogs. But I guess if you like box growlin, people eatin, tree fightin, tender footed, butt sniffin, babble mouth dogs. Then it is what it is. I just cant be given one.

Come on folks everyone knows that Plotts are the dregs of society in the hound world.. lol

For me it comes down to what you’re hunting. I'll take the treeing walkers for lions, bears and bobcats.

When it comes to hog hunting... well what other canine and dumb enough to tangle on the ground with a hog... hehehe

Ok, enough funnin’… truth be known. Give me any hound that has sand and loves to hunt, that has a quarter of a brain, that will get'er done. It could have three legs, one eye, purple with green dots. If it gets the job done on the trail and at the tree it'll always have a place by the fire

A good coonhound is a good coonhound..put that in the ol' pipe and smoke it all the way to the bank!

Go get you a Mtn Lion

The simple answer to this is you caught all the rough ones with plotts and left the easy ones to breed and reproduce for them holstiens to catch.
