Title: Re: winding ability of your dogs lets here it Post by: uglydog on December 09, 2011, 08:04:55 am because of the Garmin I have documented one of my own favorite dogs to rig off the UTV at 400+ to an impressive armadillo in hole hole. Now I believe its hard to do on a hog cause hog can be moving and can kinda guestimate unless you jump out its bedded spot

In the right conditions I could probly smell a hog from the truck a long ways. Depends on how much scent the hog is putting off, humidity, wind, how cold-nosed the dOg is and how interested he is in the scent. I've had a few instances that my dogs winded one out of the truck or boat several hundred yards.

The wind was channelling between two tree lines into a long meadow...we just followed the dogs on 4wheelers until they went in and bayed up.

Seen him wind 1000 yds across a Hey patch take off all the way across and end up every time with a hog in the woods on the other side. He got killed never had another one like him yet !
