About this title

Synopsis

Techniques from international tracking experts applicable to any quarry and terrain

How to follow and find elk, deer, bears, cougars, lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and cape buffalo
Finding and identifying tracks and sign of an animal's passing is only part of the ultimate goal for serious trackers, hunters, and outdoorspeople. They want to follow the trail to reach the animal in question. This detailed guide teaches them how. Written by a trio of master trackers, it covers what to look for to discern an animal's pathway, what information tracks and sign convey, how to move through the wilderness to get in sight of the quarry, how to avoid dangerous encounters, and more.
