Synopsis

One of the challenges and rewards of being a field biologist is being able recreate a predation event. But that experience is often difficult and frustrating, as time, weather, and other factors can make clues sparse. Even the most careful of investigators can spend hours second-guessing themselves while exhausting every possibility from inconclusive evidence.
• A step-by-step approach for gathering evidence.
• Suggestions of what to focus on at carcass site
• A template of terminology to use when classifying a predation.
• A guide for investigating and determining signs of hemorrhage
• Signs of kill and kill sites by species, including deer, elk, and lynx
• And dozens more tips

With a waterproof cover and sturdy pages, the SCIF’s Predation ID Manual is a must have for every serious hunter and field biologist.
