I am a rookie hog dog man, Started march of last year. My first 2 dogs was a Mountain Cur and a half plott/half pit catch dog. Went hunting twice a week. Didnt have a good trainer hog but was determined to finish. My cur would strike but he couldnt stop a hog and would turn back after 400 yard race. If I were going to continue to use curs here in Ohio I would need 4 good bay dogs. I have no access to curs proven on hogs. After many conversations with Paul Teegardin and TNHillbilly we all agreed we need plotts and coming from Paul who has hunted here and lives in Texas that meant alot. Curs are a staple in Texas, In Ohio they are used for treeing on squirrell and no disrespect because I own a mtn cur that trees on a squirrell and love it. So a thread labeled "Plotts?" peaked my interest. I have read a lot of threads by die hard cur men and know you guys have killed a ton of hogs with curs and I am flat jealous. I do not have deep pockets to ship curs from texas to ohio and wont because I'll never buy a finished dog. I use plotts because I catch hogs with them. Some guys on here stereotype plotts a slow loudmouth idiot dogs that just scare away all the hogs. In my rookie year of hog hunting with dogs a plott is more than a hog dog. Its a big game dog that will run a hog till its caught. This is a catch phrase from a hog hunter in greece that uses plotts on wild boar; "Trail to Run – Run to Catch – Catch to Hold". Plotts open or silent will finish a track, as a breed they have been culled as good as any bloodline in the world. The plotts I use are Pocahontas that are known for SPEED, grit and will finish a track or your money back, Weems that were started by one of the best plott breeders ever, Everette Weems. My weems female stops a boar by crushing his testicles on the run with her teeth and she never has been in a bay pen, she just does it. My interest is really peaked because I want to see some good bay dogs, I want to see the ones they talk about on here, until then I'll use my loud mouth brindle dogs. Plotts? why not?
