Does a bear plott in the woods?

The Plott Hound is named after Johannes Plott who brought his Hanoverian Hounds over to the colony of North Carolina along with his family. His descendants gradually worked their way west and inland, eventually into the NC mountains, which would be the Plott Balsams just outside Waynesville that bear their name, continuing to breed their dogs, with some fortuitous crosses, the Leopard Cur and the wild Carolina Dog believed to have been among them. The dogs became legendary for their fearlessness and dogged refusal to go off scent, just relentless. They’re known variously as the Plott Bear Hound and the Plott Boar hound, being very successfully used to hunt both. Plott Hounds are to be found anywhere bear or boar are hunted, coveted in fact, scattered the world over. They’re the State Dog of NC.
