Robert,I have been told that my father (Ernest) made a good name for himself with these plott dogs and with the NPHA..I was only 6 years old when he passed. In fact he passed away on Dec.10th. 1967,I was born on Dec.10.1961.
My dad (Gene) did not do too much with the NPHA,but he sure was the hunter.And if it was not for him, I am not sure of where I would be today. He is the reason I still hunt and have plott hounds.When Ernest died my mother keep some of his dogs and from what I have been told the ones that were let go went to MR. Roark..My dad was a coon hunter only and when he got with my mom and started to hunt with the dogs that my mother keep. My dad got rid of the Redbone and Walkers that he owned and went all plotts too..And than also became a bear hunter with one of the best packs of plotts that you could have..
I was just a kid when my dad got Weems Cascade Smokey,But I remember Smokey sleeping on the hood of my dad truck when we were bear hunting and he came wide awake because he got sent of a bear. now that is what I call a bear dog. From that day on is when I decided I was going to hunt dogs that went back to Smokey..And I still do. Weems Cascade Smokey is laid to rest right behind my ma`s house, just like many other plotts that my father and my dad had owned..
