Don’t get too worked up, at least about this particular situation. There are so many variables to scenting. Having a ton of country that they could be bedding in is also another obstacle. If they weren’t hustling and trying then that is a problem. But not finding hogs that were there 12 hrs or more before and could be anywhere is a pretty tough challenge. If it was me and I thought they were staying close then I might have tried to circle the area. If they hunt hard and are smart they will pick up on things like that, especially if they end up
locating. By doing this, you put them in a position to wind from different directions and they also get out of all that sign to pick up which way they left. When the dogs are down in that kind of stuff,  what air that is moving down in there isn’t necessarily doing the same thing it is up above it or outside of it where you are. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one to walk dogs but if it’s young dogs that are hustling, I will try to do things to help them learn and I try to do it so that the dogs think they are responsible for it. I can be patient with dogs that is trying but Zero patience with one that wants to be begged.
