good sat hunt

Cajun do you have any idea of about how cold the coldest trail your plotts have worked up was? Another question I’ve wondered about with the open dogs is do they pick their heads up when the track gets hotter or do they typically keep it down. I would assume that it’s a dog to dog basis, meaning some stay low and some pick their heads up. Do the heads up type give as much mouth and is there a difference in their tracking speed?

Make-‘em-squeel I ask you the same question about yours and your partners dogs?

No right or wrong answers nor trying to start anything. I have wondered this a lot about different breeds and crosses. Matter of fact one of my hunting buddies and I were just talking about this very thing yesterday with our dogs. I have seen hogs passing through an area in the evening and then return to home from a different direction, kinda made a big loop. I put out where I saw them the evening before and the dogs took the track and got bayed a half mile away. Kerry told me once that he put Raylynn’s brother Amos out on a hog track that the game camera showed he came through at a certain time. I’m pretty sure he told me it was 12 hours from the time the hog went through to the time he put him on the track and he took it about a mile in like 10-15 minutes and bayed the hog in his pajamas. Now those numbers could be off either way a tad but that’s what I was told. I thought that was pretty impressive personally. I have seen my dogs wind from .92-1.2 numerous times and go straight from point A to point B like somebody told them which bush they were under to get bayed. I understand the scent cone and things, but from that distance, it impresses me to see. My dogs are dead silent but a few will what I call squeal behind a runner if they can see it. If it manages to get ahead or out of sight they will quit giving any mouth until they bay again.
