Something to look at is are you trying to push them or letting them be. Try this next time you run into that stop and set there until they do something if it takes two hrs just sit there. Some times when you walk you might be doing the hunting for the dogs and not realize it. Pushing them and following them is totally different nothing wrong with that method but it tends to make the dogs depend on you when there not confident enough to search out no matter what they smell. But like goose said you could come back two hrs later and lined one out

That's some truth right there judge, I've sat down before and took a nap letting two young dogs work a track I knew they could smell, it took about an hour and a half for them to walk it out and figure it out, once we put and end product with their hustle they were a different set of dogs after that and got to be where they had a knack for pulling a rabbit out of a hat, it was a good day in the hog woods that morning, had I not hung out with the dry cows the night before I probably wouldn't have decided to take that little nap so reluctantly.....
