Bear hunting Plotts..What you Hunt?

Just wanted to start this thread on asking where do you hunt and what line of Plotts are you hunting with? If you have any stories (and I know you do) lets see them and throw in some of them Plott hounds at work....Perkey

I myself hunt the Mountains of western VA and right now I'm hunting mostly Pocahontas Plotts with an up and coming Crockett gyp. I also have a Roark X Howell's Bayou male. The picture to the far right is of my Pocahontas Male Major...He is outta Pocahontas Bearclaw and a Ganette gyp owned by Jason Bickford...also have a Cody II X Meeka Lousie male as well....Perkey

I hunt Idaho i catch bear lion bobcat and coon with an occassional moose and beave thrown in to keep me on my toes.
I currently a dog from Marshel worthington that is Ursus foundation and a dog from Steve Mohr and Larry foguls breeding

I hunt central and southern utah. The plotts I run are a swampland/ursus, a Nabek, and a swampland/bluff creek/salmon river.
The last one is only about seven months old and this fall season I had him on four trees and two bay ups. He is looking extremely good for his age. I am going to pick up three more pups this month that are as close as I could get to his same lines and hope for the same/similair results.

I live in Indiana but have bear hunted in Wisconsin, Michigan, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire and W. Virginia. Plan to hunt the coast of N.Carolina this year. Most of my dogs were bred here making them Blackwater strain. They trace their ancestry back to Pioneer Brindle Tyler, Weem's Butch & Jill, Timberline Tack & Tack II, Cascade Big Timber and Swampland blood. They suite me.

hunting in wisconsin, mainly weems, have one garrison ranger bred dog

Love the response so far guys...Keep them coming...Add some of them pics you have guys....Perkey

MAJOR and Chase treed last year in Kill Season.


Zipper: First Place win at local Club


Akita: First caged coon she ever saw...

Those are all nice pics Perkey!!

That Akita pup is really getting with it! How old was she there? How old is she now?

In the other pic, that dog on the right is what I think the little female I kept is going to turn out looking like.
Those are also nice looking dogs!

Take care!

I'm running the Pokiewantus line over here. My eldest female, CH 'PR' Corbin's Rebel Pride Mrs Beasly is Blackwater bred, and also goes back to Pocahontas breeding as well.





Here ~ Beasly tied @ a Bear tree with Magnum in 2006.


Beasly @ another Bear tree in November 2006.

Magnum & Beasly tied back at the tree where the above treed Bear was treed the 2nd. time after he jumped from previous tree.


A couple of up and coming Pocahontas bred young dogs. They are just at a year old here 2007. Rebel Pride Bocephus in the rear and Rebel Pride Reba up front.


Reba was the youngest Plott to place @ Plott Days in 2007 @ 9 months old when she won the roll cage event.


Reba looking up!

The Bear that ended Magnum's life December 2006.

Well I was trying to think back of when I took the pic and all of a sudden...boom...the date is on the pic...haha...Well she was born the end of July and I got her in Mid- Sept. from Biggun....So I guess that would make her a lil over 6 months old...I ran her a lil on bear in Dec. at 5 months old and she got to run and tree on a cub then..Showed her the coon that day and she went nuts...She is now a lil over 14 months...She came in heat the first week of training season this year and had to be put back up for a while and when I took her back out the first night she got bit by a rattler and had to go back on the chain...So needless to say she didn't get much of a training season...Thats alright cause kill season is 2 months away and I'll get to hunt 18 of the 30 days....I can't wait...Until then I'll work on killing some deer and a lil more coon training at night....Perkey

By then, you'll have her tuned up real good!
Take it easy!

Swervin I made it.

Glad you made it back Gene...We are getting a good start to where we left off...Ohh by the way what strain of Plotts are you hunting now a days??....LOL.....Perkey

Right On G-man!!

Glad you're over here.

Now I 've got someone that'll have my back when that Ugly Alan gets on my case too bad.

Perky I'm still running (The Pot Licker strain). Treed a nice 300+ yesterday. Kicked it out for another run but it got away that time.Say hi to AC for me. Swervin I got your back in case old ugly get's on you to hard. LOL

Thanks G-Man! That's what I'm talkin' bout!

As you and I both know, I don't really think that will be an issue anyway.
Take it easy Buddy!
Swervin

I really like to read about you fellows bear hunting and seeing all the pictures. Maybe one day I can see if my plotts have what it takes to hang with you fellows

Perky we have been treeing some nice bear here lately. Swervin I got your back if Big Ugly get's on you. LOL

Perky
I'm with you!!!! wonder what chummers huntin with

Well I got some of them POK-E-WANUS pot lickers here too...For some reason they really like them black fuzzy BARS...lol...Perkey

They really like those brown and cinnamon colored ones too

Guys I will try and get a few photos put on my web page this week of some we have treed. It's hard to get any decent picture with the leaves and the early hour. Plus most are high in big Hemlock pines. But a few turned out decent.

Sounds good Gene...Our chase season was a lil' slow this year...Didn't really start catching bear until near the end of the season...Had alot of good chases though...Perkey

I hunt pot lickers, but they don't get to see bear very often LOL
