sounds like you have a good plan and that you are really putting some thought in.
If i were you and you had the resources i would try the following, 1.go out to the woods like you have been doing 2. take that hog you have been using then put a good set of hobbles on it and turn it loose in front of your dogs 3. keep your dogs restrained (for now) but in view of the hog and let it dissapear out of view. if your dogs have the minerals to do the job they will probably be going mental about now 4.now turn the dogs loose, by letting the hog go out of view they will automatically start to use their noses and just build from there. you are definately on the right track but just a couple of steps ahead.
ill look forward to hearing how you get on.
