It is not uncommon at all for dogs on a hot track to run on the down wind side of the track if there is a breeze, you get into the difference in scent glands and the body scurf, but it does happen a lot whether you have noticed it or not.
Yes sir I think that’s the way most cur dogs do it. The scent cone is wide on the downwind side of the track. Where the dander and such is falling off the game your running .
