You've had a dog that's been in heat that took a break for 3 weeks.........Not sure I would be worried and concerned with only hunting the dog 2 nights after she has been penned up for 3 weeks in heat.
If she stays in a rut is one thing but not after 2 hunts to get worried.
Also, not only do dogs have bad days that they look like crap but it happens with humans. The only 4 time MVP in the NFL, Peyton Manning has had games he would rather forget and looked nowhere near being a 4 time MVP.
Get the dog back in action and hunting and don't be concerned over 2 bad nights after being put up for 3 weeks in heat.........Heat cycles have been known to mess with a dog's mind with the hormones -- if your married, then you know about that time each month about hormones. If your not married and haven't experienced it, JUST WAIT.
