I have a Plott hound and live in eastern PA. Hunting him safely is very limited and he must be kept close. My Plott hound hunts pheasants and turns many hunters heads. He rarely lets me down getting my limit. When he was a pup on his first morning he had no clue what the other pointers were looking for.After cleaning the birds and allowing him to have a mouth full of feathers,I hunted by myself with him that afternoon. He was a different dog and found a bird right away. He put up many birds that day and even caught one himself. Many times he out performs the pointers he hunts with. He does not point,but you know when he is on a bird.

He Also hunts rabbit,squirrels and anything that runs if you allow him. He has found several dead bearson a blood trail.We can not use dogs on bear in PA, he is limited on what I can hunt in PA.

He is also a great house dog.
