Interpretation.

I guess....there's one thing I don't understand. I'm probably just missing something. Now...I'm more referring to the woods and creek bottoms...as opposed to open ground.....I'm also referring to walk hunting.

To me.....if your walking the bottoms...what's the difference in long range or short range? All things being equal (nose wise) the short to medium range dog will eventually hit the same track the long range dog does and Unless your long range dog strikes and drives the hog back to you....your still gonna cover the same amount of ground walking. So.......?
