Cold nosed bmc's

Just because a dog leaves out on a track and smells around and knows a hog has been there doesn't necessarily mean he's cold. Yes, the dog knows the hog was there, but so do I, and I can move the track no further then he can. When I say cold, I mean a dog that takes a track and moves it. I've hunted with some good hounds and curs, more often then not the hounds will tend to mud hole a track where as a cur dog will just quit it and go on.

I've hunted with and owned cur dogs that could hardly move a track with the hog standing in it, so comparing hounds to them doesn't hold much water.
