In my opinion, a dog smells of things all the time. Does that mean it is making an attempt to hunt? No, because a male dog may smell of ten trees and pee on every one of them. I don't break the time until I feel the dog is actually hunting. Most of us have been around enough hounds to know if they are really putting forth an effort to find a track or just wondering around waiting on another dog to open. From what you said, that dog is not making an "attempt" to hunt. In my opinion a dog you have to walk across a track is not making an attempt to hunt. You are doing the work of taking the dog across the track so it can finish the track. The dog never made an effort to find the track.
Websters answer to the defenition of attempt:
to make an effort to do, accomplish, solve, or effect
Example:
<attempted to swim the swollen river>
Hope this helps, but it really is up to the judge to make that call when he feels satisfied that the dog has met what he feels is making an attempt. Most of us know if the dog is making a good effort to go hunting.
