Leg 6: 30 yards. Left turn in woods - End article about 30 yds because of tree wall.

No food on the first 2 legs, 130 yards. Scent pad 10 yards after turn 3

This did not turn out quite how I planned because of density of downed trees.

I was very happy with Saber's tracking. She was a little distracted at the start. She fell in two holes and it didn't deter or slow her down. Most of her tracking was spot on. There were a couple of the places in the woods I think she would have taken me on a walkabout if I didn't know where the track was, but when those options were eliminated she went directly to the track. There was little deviation from where I went.
