Yeah my bird dog is like a crackhead built like one too. But he's got the hunt. I have a question not to jack the thread but do yall have a rule for hunting after a heavy rain. Only seems like my hounds can push a track if it rained the day before and they're really slowly grinding on it. My curs act like its nonexistent.
Sounds like those tracks are cold or got rained on enough to wash them out. Moisture is usually in a dogs favor unless it’s in abundance. Hounds will typically try to grind out what they can smell but a majority of curs I would say, prefer hot tracks so even when they can smell a cold track some, they will ignore it in hopes of finding something hotter. 100% there are some dogs that have colder noses, but over the years I’ve come to believe that want to and determination have nearly as much to do with how cold a track a dog will work. That’s just my opinion.
