We use the same system with the dog harness or use a cage that you can hide in the brush. Use some scent killer on your boots and lay you a drag trail with a live pig. Start short and work your way out as you go. Hide the pig either utilizing the harness or cage and circle back a different way than you came in. When you turn your pup loose walk slowly in the direction of the drag. If your pup comes off track wait until the pup gets through swinging or playing and slowly continue on track. If you need to hiss em a few time to get their attention back to the track. If the pups doesnt take up the track then you finally get into the immediate area of the pig and stand still until the pup stumbles up on the pig. Then do it all over again. The better the pup gets the more difficult the drag needs to be including into water and across fallin logs. You do it right you will have a six month old pup that can find his own hog when he hits the big woods. Tried and true method when starting em young and you can finish you one out by year and half old if you got some good blood that is all buisness. Never had much luck with the drag scent unless you use it with little bitty pups in your yard.            Also where did that good lookin Yeller on your profile come from?
