I have put a little thought into this subject over the years and I came to the conclusion that the dogs have to figure it out for themselves, usually learned from other dogs that they work with.  I think that  a scent trail is much like  boat wake, wider and less concentrated the further back from the hog, therefore kinda making an arrow if you will in which way he has gone.  Kind of a silly analogy, but its my only thoughts on this subject.
