About this title

From the Back Cover

Few experiences are more thrilling than watching unsuspecting wild animals go about their business in a natural environment. The ultimate triumph comes when you’ve tracked down an animal on its own terms, on its own turf. The Complete Tracker is a concise, thorough guide to the tracks, signs, and habits of North America’s most popular species of wildlife. Discover the secrets of a master tracker that will enable you to answer questions such as, Was it a dog or a wolf? Fox or coyote? Did it pass by yesterday or an hour ago? Learn techniques for getting close to animals—from bobcats to beavers, marmots to moose—by knowing the details of their habits and a master-tracker’s tips on avoiding detection. Detailed illustrations show the tracks of more than fifty different species of wildlife in a variety of terrain conditions. This new edition is expanded with the latest information on peccaries, dogs, cats, armadillos, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and enhanced with full-color photos throughout making it an invaluable resource for hikers, nature lovers, and outdoors enthusiasts everywhere.
