Wind a mile off ?

 My buddy has 2 BMC (father and son) that are winding machines but there open on track so you could never guess where you think they jumped the hog at.

So do these dogs start barking as soon as they bail out or once they hit the hogs trail?

They yip when they smell one, they bail off and start yipping until the hog is bayed, there real mouthy. Not loud just steady yipping. There long legged, fast and have alot of stamina. Sometimes I think they jus do it to get off the truck and go run, then once in the block they prob get on sum sign or a hog. Once they bail out we dont pick them up until there bayed. There out of Bayhead Kennels.

One my dogs has went a mile and opened up a few times. Garmin showed him steadily moving in the same direction.

Whats the possiblity of the dog winding the hogs close but they be a mile before the dogs catch up??
Not calling you out, just using your post as an example...

The hogs could be right off the road and hear you coming, or if you have a dog bark when he winds one...
The hogs take off and be a mile before the dogs get to them... I would guess there would be a few hunters out there that would say there dogs winded that hog at a mile...  

I've had this conversation on more than one occasion with som buddies in oklahoma and i whole heartedly believe that this scenario is what happens most of the time. They strike close and get them shut down alot further out. I mean no offense to anybody but a hog aint gonna stand there while a dog runs a mile through the fields and/or woods. he is gonna start covering some ground the fisrt time the dog crashes through a thicket or something IMO

There are dogs out there that have a cold nose for trailing and/or winding and have a natural inclination to wind. Quite a few mtn  curs will stand on their rear legs to wind.
Some dogs might have a good.nose but will not wind for game because it is not his natural inclination to do so.

A mile is only 1760 yards why not if the conditions are right I knoe I have seen my dogs act piggy from about 800 yards then get to other side of hill and they take off and bay an armadillo I think there was a pig there and the armadillo just happened to be close and the found him first in the thick and not the pig.  If you look at a mile straight it is not that far
