Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Reuben on April 14, 2012, 10:54:01 am if you got the space then a good line would work...there are a few on here that raise and hunt them...
I like middle of the road type dogs like the mtn cur...the right 1/2 plott with 1/4 pit and 1/4 bmc would work for me... Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Red River Hog Hunting on April 14, 2012, 11:03:28 am Yeah i hunt with a lot of mtn curs and they all range out and find pigs. I hear plotts are a bit trashy but that can be broken.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: HORJUA on April 14, 2012, 11:29:15 am i hunt plotts, and i dont know about the trashy part. i am a hound man and love my plotts.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Red River Hog Hunting on April 14, 2012, 11:37:18 am Thats good to hear. I like hounds also.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: arrowbar on April 14, 2012, 11:38:31 am They are versatile, many different lines are being bred by people for different purposes (size, color, track style, game). Do the research and find plotts that hunt your style. They work great for us.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Red River Hog Hunting on April 14, 2012, 12:06:37 pm Will do Will do. Thanks for the advise
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: BIG BEN on April 14, 2012, 01:11:35 pm There isnt anything wrong with a good plott or any other hound out there as long as they can drive a track pretty fast. Some plotts can be silent on track and some are not silent, it doesnt matter to the hogs if there is a silent dog or one whistling dixie behind them.

Some plotts can be silent on track and some are not silent, it doesnt matter to the hogs if there is a silent dog or one whistling dixie behind them. I agree...line the track out quick and move it fast...open or silent don't matter much any more if the hogs are dog smart... Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: KevinN on April 14, 2012, 01:45:15 pm Aren't Plotts more gritty than your typical Hound? I like that about them.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: arrowbar on April 14, 2012, 02:04:16 pm Overall the breed is known for its gritt, and boldness and the only pups I have seen that were not bold were not handled right at young ages. I have seen gritt in all breeds of hounds, but like I said just check into the lines.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Red River Hog Hunting on April 14, 2012, 02:20:23 pm Im getting one today and im excited :laugh:
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: arrowbar on April 14, 2012, 02:36:47 pm do you know the pedigree or at the least the lines?
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Red River Hog Hunting on April 16, 2012, 04:38:24 pm Well guys i made a rookie mistake i guess.. i got all the forms to sign and everything on the dog.. he hunts well and bays well but he is neutered and i did not notice that until i got him home and i do not want a neutered dog.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: drew on April 17, 2012, 09:52:55 am lol that sucks man
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Plainhorseman on April 17, 2012, 11:21:01 am We have a 3/4 bmc 1/4 plott . Jam up strike dog medium range. He looks like a yeller plott .lol
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: CMK hog hunter on April 18, 2012, 04:38:50 pm I have got a Plott she will trail all day long and is a really gritty dog.
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: firemedic on April 18, 2012, 08:43:41 pm Well guys i made a rookie mistake i guess.. i got all the forms to sign and everything on the dog.. he hunts well and bays well but he is neutered and i did not notice that until i got him home and i do not want a neutered dog. Don't fret over it man,....live and learn. You need to be enjoying hunting and learning all you can, raising pups can come waaaaaay later. At least now you won't have to put up with all that macho, male dog stuff. Hunt him and enjoy it.....is my advice. Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: SCHitemHard on April 18, 2012, 08:51:22 pm id hunt a neutered plott same as any other, sucks hes fixed but you cant really miss the clue :laugh:
Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Wmwendler on April 19, 2012, 01:58:16 pm Well guys i made a rookie mistake i guess.. i got all the forms to sign and everything on the dog.. he hunts well and bays well but he is neutered and i did not notice that until i got him home and i do not want a neutered dog. Don't worry a nutered Plott is the best kind of Plott to have. :) Waylon Title: Re: Opinions Opinions Post by: Red River Hog Hunting on April 19, 2012, 05:30:35 pm haha well my buddy wanted him so he has him now i got me a bmc plott cross and he has balls haha aint hunted him yet but he sure is pretty.
