What is it about a dirt road that recks a track...dogs act like it's a wall they ran into...go up and down and back and forth but can't seem to just go on across the road...

Have you taught them to look both ways yet. That might be why they are not crossing. LOL
I have seen it a hundred times, funny how they just wont run across and pick it back up?

I've seen coon tracks where the coon walked down the road quite a ways. I've also seen engine exhaust kill tracks that paralleled the dirt road.

It could be from how dry the road is in comparison to the rest of the environment. Most dirt roads around me are drier than a popcorn fart. But I've seen what your talking about a lot too. The bitch I have seems to go directly across to the far ditch and work both directions to pick the track back up.

I road hunted a lot in the past and it was always simple to see once the dogs got the coon off the dirt roads and into the woods where more scent is collected by the surrounding vegetation they track better, faster and opened more. We use to joke about when they get in the woods where there are sideboards they sill straighten it out.
