Yes, it is true. College aged men can pick up odors and track game just as good as old rover can.
This really opens up a lot more options to us hunters. Instead of having to spend a lot of money on a good hunting dog, you can now just rent out a young man to do your tracking for you.
Or maybe just talk your hunting buddy into assuming this role, in your next hunt?? The photo below shows the technique that the young men in the study used.
On second thought, maybe this will not turn out to be very practical
