Turn loose at daylight. We scout water in the summer and food sources during the fall/winter  the afternoon/evening prior to turning loose at daylight the next morning. They will leave exit trails to their beds IF you know what to look for. Hogs down here (North Central Texas) tend to be active at night and bed up right before daylight. I run all curs. My best find dog is medium nose at best. I have hunted with a couple of top shelf hounds this way. It is the best way to hunt a hound on hogs in my experience and opinion. We have had the best luck running a finished hound solo until he finds them in their bedroom. Yes, he was wide open! Once he found them, we sent in the land sharks. A lot of fun. Hope this answers your question.

You might try putting out game cameras on your spots if possible. I have a feeling that hunting in the wet, thick swamps of Florida might be a little different and make it harder to find sign in some cases.

Happy hunting to you.
