Can a hound tell which way his prey is travelling?
Let's say you are walking your dogs down a road with the wind in your face and an animal has crossed the road earlier and they pick up its scent on the ground. Does the houndsman have to get the dogs going in the right direction by finding tracks in the mud or snow? Can a dog see a track and tell which way it is going? I don't know anything about dogs.

most good trail hounds will be able to figuar the track out on thier own. if i have snow or know where the yote crossed i will help them out by getting them the right direction just to save time. when i hound cold tracks they have to beable to find out which way the game has went on thier own.
