This has been some good reading gentlemen, so I’ve gotta question y’all may have the answer to. A few weeks ago I took a buddy out with me and we’re walking down the main road that goes in to multiple different properties. Well it’s about 6:30am, 75ish degrees, high humidity, and there was a bunch of dew on the ground. About 10 minutes in we come up to where there a big cutover on the left with some grinded mulch left behind. We see 3 shoat a laid up, only 50 yards from us. Well we decide to get low and wait to see if the dog’s hit on them. Right about then the dogs caught a hog that was on the right side of the road about 30yds off in some real thick stuff. By the time we get that once killed and back out, the hogs had slipped out. I watched them trot towards the woods in the back of the cutover.

I called all of the dogs over and they really didn’t seem to smell it. After 10-15 minutes they did try to line it up but the furthest they went was 200yds and they kept coming back. It was like they legitimately couldn’t smell it. These dogs have caught plenty of hogs so I have no doubt they would’ve taken the track if they could smell it.

Could this have been the dew on the ground? I was also told that the sign might have been too hot for them to line up with all of the fresh rooting that was around them
