just wondering if anyone knows which scents work best for a drag , im currently using cronks bear scent with a piece of bear hide and my pup loves it but none of the finished dogs will strike off it or even pay any attention to it so im just wondering if theres something better ? iv read that graws is good anyone had any success with it ? thanks

I have used cronks and graws and they are both great training scents, but none of my finished dogs would ever give a drag the time of day. I will personally never use a drag or a training scent ever again. my reason for this is when the huntiest finished hound won't give it the time of day, that tells me that it in no way resembles what is left behind when real game moves. there is no substitute for real game and if you want them to chase real game start them on real game. I know it sounds harder, but you'll never teach your dogs how to trail an elusive smart game animal by dragging some piss around on a rag. that's my opinion and I know there are guys on here that swear by it, so you'll have to form your own opinion, but having done both, just cut to the chase and put em on some game. hope that helps, Jared.
