How do you really know how cold of a nose your dog really has?OK he opens according to track,other dogs don't open on the track but in all honesty how do you really know how cold nosed he is.

I've tested some of mine with released coons and coons that I've seen crossing. It's even more practical now with these trail cameras that send pictures to your phone. I have experienced with this technique that it doesn't always prove that a dog is not cold nosed but helps some to give a time line on how old of a track they can smell.

Great question! I do not think one can really know how cold a track really is, but as already stated cameras and actual sight of a coon crossing road etc. can be a good way of knowing how old the track is time wise. I think weather and temperature plays a big part in a dog being able to run a older track. I love hunting a dog that can run and tree tracks that other good dogs can not open on or even tree with that dog with the coon being seen, not just a tree. I have owned very few dogs that could do that on a consistant basis, but I enjoyed the ones that could. Dave
