Instinctive

I believe what these guys mean when they say that a drifter is faster, is that he’s taking a point A to point B line instead of the long track. Different hogs do different things in different areas. On my land you will never see a hog run a full straight track. Not one time. The will run to the river, or to the thickest stuff around, and then they’ll cut knots for several hours or keep zig zagging back and forth over the river. So the way I think about it is if you had a pig cut a big loop, and he’s out to the left, the dog that catches him on the wind and bee lines Left is going to be faster than the dog that goes 500yds forwards, and then tries to hang 600yds to the left on his track to get to him.
