raining here today, bored and nothing else to do. anyway, above is a subject i find fascination, one, is it a myth or fact, let's hear it. for those of you that are in the dark, the theory goes that a flying bird is washed of its scent and if it lands, however, and doesn't move, it leaves little to no scent and is extremely hard for a dog to locate, the birds that are more easily found are the one's that flop or run, thereby leaving some scent. my experience tells me that something is happening beside sometimes the dogs nose works and sometimes it doesn't especially withing a time span of just many seconds. this is not just a made up question but has been referred to in literature for decades. how can a dog find a bird to begin with, have it shot, see it fall, be just seconds behind the bird and while the bird is there dead, can't seem to smell it.
