Animal tracking skills for hunting and survival

Our survival depends on locating water, animals to hunt, and finding a safe place to camp for the night. Tracking is an important survival tool that help us to meet our core needs. When we track, we may find tracks left by wildlife, bruised leaves may show us someone has recently walked here. Using other senses such as our sense of hearing or smell can lead us to water. Tracking uses all of our senses and is a core survival skill you need to develop.

What is animal tracking?

Tracking in the simplest of terms is acknowledging and following a disturbance. What Trackers call Sign. A Tracker can glean specific information from a track, sign, or disturbance made by animal or man. Sign is found on the landscape. For instance, a raccoon leaves or registers its prints in the soft sand along the shore of a lake. What is the Raccoon up to? A freshly browsed shrub with shiny clipped stems may tell us how recently a deer has fed. Practical tracking has many uses, from discovering what animals visit your yard to wildlife observation. Of course, tracking can be a great skill to develop for hunting success. Trackers are found in the military, law enforcement, and search and rescue.

"Getting down on the ground low, turn off the "noise", and really just look hard. It's a wonderful world down there and just one story after another in very minute forms. Thanks, Mark, for making me continue to search for one track after another. Had a blast, I will be back again." ~Roberta Kellis

Interpreting tracks and sign

In this video I interpret Cougar sign. Sometimes an animal's tracks can be difficult to see. But using our knowledge of "sign", we can "know" of the animal's presence.  Watch on YouTube as I interpret Mountain Lion scat with some exciting twists!
