Good hunting dogs on hard tracking days

Lot of folks complain about dry runs. I feel these are the days you as a dog man can learn more about your dogs and your dogs can learn more about pulling that pig out of a hole in a tree. On these days I move slower and watch the dogs harder. It can be dang near hypnotizing. I look for the small clues as to what's going on. I like watching the dogs work a feeding area for several minutes trying to line it out. Loop after loop until you see them perk up and line out. I am in an area now with far more pigs than any place I hunted before. At first that was an actual problem. Of course they have figured that out and now it's unreal. Watching it unfold is amazing tho. I never would have thought high hog numbers could cause tracking problems but when you hit a feeding area a couple hours behind the hogs it can be.

Learn to enjoy the hunt and even dry runs can be fun.
