Goose I agree with that. My clyde dog drifted extremely well also. He was average speed in a foot race but could push a track at an all out run that most other dogs had to slow down to run or others would have to keep making losses on because they over ran their nose. He would be bayed so real hundred yards before most dogs. He didn't have to straddle the track to take it. I really think dogs that are real instinctive about hunting into the wind have a strong tendency to drift well. They understand how to use that to their advantage. That's not something you can teach in my opinion.

I have a gyp that the one reason she is still making is her ability like you described with Clyde. She is an ok dog. Hunts steady around you but not real far, busy dog. She has crap bottom, but she will get bayed several hundred yards in front of the dogs every time. A very frustrating little number 2! All the ability in the world, but doesn’t hate a hog. She is out of chance wards old Ike dog. Ike was one that was known real well for cheating a track, cutting corners and still getting bayed way ahead of others.
