My YBMC trailed a 16 hour old track!!! I read it on the web!!!!

A sixteen hour track in southeastern Louisiana is not the same as a sixteen hour track in southeastern New Mexico.

I've seen curs take cold tracks, but those I've seen take cold tracks will not do it cosistantantly, only circumstantially. Conditions generally need to be right.

I think a lot of People would be surprised at what their dogs are capable of, if they just stayed out of the way... "Ole Dan is gettin' out a lil far, hate him to bump a deer."
Most folks won't give dogs time to sort out a track either, if it's not hot enough to bolt with, let's move on...
That gets dogs in the rut of not even considering those colder tracks...

Smaller places and established resident hog populations don't make for cold nosed curs...
