Just because he is cold nose does not mean he will not find the easy hogs first. Most cold nose dogs are going with the hottest track they can smell because they know it is fresher. The difference is if you only have one track & it is older, your colder nose dogs will trail it up while your hotter nose curs will be standing by your feet. Having said that, there are cold nose curs out there but this is not what your topic is about.
Sounds like this young dog is well on his way to becoming a nice dog.
x2...I've seen it many times when the curs run over some decent tracks and a hound or mt cur run it like a smoking hot track and it probably was somewhat fresh...sometimes I don't think it is the nose but what triggers the response to run the track...
