We bayed a group once and caught one out of it. I was sitting out in the open pasture and watched a boar cross it and saw where he entered the next set of woods. When clyde rolled over, that was the hog he left on. He was an easy 25 to 30 yards to the down wind side of where the boar crossed. He was running it as hard as he could go. Another 150 yards into the next set of woods he put up bayed again on that boar. I think a hog lays a wider track than we realize sometimes, depending on the conditions of course. Scent is gonna carry in breezy or light wind. It's gonna scatter in high wind. It also is easier to scent when the moisture is right. Too much or too little and it has no way of clinging to anything or gets washed out. Obviously it isn't going to spread out as much in the brush and even less when its green and vegetation is thicker. Lol I've seen dogs like that gyp your talking about Tony. They sure can aggravate you.
