He's arranging a spring hunt in Canada to coincide with the fishing trip he's gone on for years, except those two years when Canada was closed for 'Covid Repairs' of course.

He got the biggest black bear in Wisconsin in 2016; 480 # dressed.
Our current Plotts are home-grown. We had a few from a breeder that I will not name, that ALL had kidney issues due to his stupid breeding 'system' and it was not fun for us or them. To say I wish that man ill is an understatement!
Good looking bear!!!! Shame on that “breeder” who messed up those dogs...
My friend Gene, that I mentioned, passed in 2012...He was an excellent breeder and ranked very high in the National Plott Hound Association...His “Blondie” dog was a National Champion Plott, but was killed in Canada (by a train of all things)...
I got a bear at Haliburton, Ont. in 1978 that dressed at around 400...His lower jaw had been shot off on one side...An Ontario Wildlife Officer told us that bear had been observed for about 4 years and had to eat by laying his head on the side and pushing food into his mouth...He said if his jaw had been healthy, he probably would’ve been close to 600 to 650 lbs...
