I tracked a big buck in Tanner one night that would run up the middle of a creek and bed down in the edge of the water. Everytime the dogs caught his wind he'd have a head start and do it over again. Finally got him after a couple hours of that crap. I've had them do that to me since then but not like he did it. I have noticed they usually do it going down stream and not up stream which makes sense far as throwing the dogs off more
