I agree with you about each hog, hunt, and bay being unique. A dog must be able to learn from experience and apply it in the woods. A dog with hog sense will make you scratch your head sometimes. I have personally watched a top shelf, cheating find dog top a ridge and look at a draw below on a track. The other dogs were nose down running the scent funnel. He assessed the situation and said “ if I was a hog, I would be here” and ran directly to the spot where the hogs were. He was smart and used all 6 senses to find them. He guessed sometimes and sometimes got outclassed in trailing contests. But over 100 hunts he would find and bay hogs ahead of the pack 7 out of 10 times.....and relay and bay again. He was a handful once you got him in hogs.
