Back at it this morning. Very wet conditions as it rained through most of the night, so I stuck to the back pasture, with the lighter cover. Three tracks laid, the first was about 75 feet. I shuffled the track and put food drops every 6 steps, in case the really wet cover caused any problems. She had no trouble with the track, so the next two were around 120 feet. The first one I spaced out the food drops to every 8 steps, still shuffling my feet for extra scent. The third track was again around 120 feet, food drops every 8 steps, but this time I walked "normally", leaving less scent and crushed vegetation.

The further apart the food drops are the stronger she works, her body language is remaining very obvious and today she volunteered a down at the glove each time. Some very good stuff happening. Next week I'll start adding some age to the tracks, and then think about starting some direction changes.
