For those of you who mostly rig bobcats off of a truck or other vehicle. Do you feel as though the dogs are striking a track or smelling a laid up bobcat when they strike off of the rig.
Thanks

I can/t count myself as real bobcat hunter now days, in the past I have trained some very good rig dogs. The good ones I owned rigged bobcat scent of all kinds, yhey rigged every piss post in the country, cold bobcat tracks, hot bobcat tracks. However, no watter how good they are at rigging they sure can miss some bobcat scent & in my experience it is easier for a dog to rig a piss post than a hot track sometimes.

I think mine are usually scenting the cat. let one off the rack and ran nose up to the cat and caught it.

It looks to me , dogs are rigging air current scent. It might come from a track, or the animal or whatever it messed with.

My dogs strike the best when it is a red hot cat or a pile of cat shit in the road that they love to eat.
