Sometimes the wind is your friend and sometimes it's your arch enemy. Since the Ridgebacks are both scent and sight hounds (try arguing with me and see how far you get) if a good smell crosses their path its almost as though a piece of string has been attached to the tip of their nose and they are pulled toward the trail without much effort.
This results in hearing loss. Hearing loss can lead to all kinds of Bad Situations such as bolting through the woods, crossing a road un-supervised, and at it's worst - Getting Lost. 
It also results in Deep Thoughts which never turn out to involve things like Pulitzer Prizes or research grants.
The best case scenario is what happened the other day which was the Frozen Body combined with Deep Thoughts and resulted in only minor hearing loss. It was a Lucky Day for the critter at the other end of the smell.
