Lmbo, mine gotta do all that too judge. You know, you talking about the dogs hunting hard and then ole lazy bones goes in and puts one up behind them, I've seen that too. I think there are variables in that. I use to hunt with an old man. One of the first trips we made together was to crop land in the river bottom. We drove up and parked on the south side of a dry lake bed that was grown over with brush, it was pretty sizable. He rolled the windows down, turned heavy metal music up.load as he could and started shooting in the air. I started laughing and then we drove up.and down that side of the woods a couple passes. Then he stopped and we cast the dogs. When they left he said I guess you think I've lost it and I laughed again and said well I wasn't gonna say but..... He laughed and said well maybe but I was waking those hogs up. I said what? His theory was that the hogs were in some pretty dense briars and cover and that once they get in there and get bedded that its sometimes hard for a dog to smell them because the cover is so thick that scent doesn't escape well especially if the breeze can't get to it. So, when he woke those hogs up they would start moving around some, which would create scent and wild like those hogs were, they were going to leave for the river or bigger wooded areas. Sure enough, it wasn't any time and we had dogs bayed almost simultaneously in the woods and the open field opposite us. It was a technique that worked for him consistantly in certain areas like that place. I'm not sure that the hard hunting dogs don't go through and stir those well hidden hogs with their presence sometimes and just keep traveling past only to allow ole lazy bones a fresh whiff of ole porky. Maybe I'm as crazy as the old man, lol but I think there is something to it. I think it's especially true with boar hogs.
