Hi Bill, Welcome to the group. I would be interested in hearing how you incorporate tracks and tracking into curriculum. Do you think it would work for high...
Howdy Bill, Illinois in the winter should give you a good beginning at animal tracking. I live in N.E. Ohio and enjoy tracking in the snow (and that's about...
LOL! I would like to meet one of those trackers. Kim << like those in this Group that can track an ant 10 miles over rough gravel. :)>> [Non-text portions of...
Hi Mike, I'm really excited to do some winter tracking. I snowshoe a lot when it does snow, so tracking while I'm doing that will be a great bonus. Do you...
Hi All Welcome to new members. Here in South Africa we certainly struggle to hone our snow-tracking skills; yet our vast bushveld plains seem to make up for...
Hello All, I'm starting to build my tracking library now and was wondering if anyone would care to give me some input on what your favorite tracking books are....
Here's a partial list of my tracking book collection. Some of these are not as good as others. I'd recommend getting Mark Elbroch's new book on tracking...
Howdy Bill, I have built a fairly sizable tracking reference library from eBay auctions. Do a book search under both "tracks" and "tracking". One animal...
I agree. Halfpenny's book is also the best one out there on gaits. And the price is reasonable. Kim ... From: coprolith1 To: animaltracks@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Kim and Mike, Thank you so much for your recommendations. I really appreciate all the help you have given me. I am going to purchase some of those books and...
Thanks Bill. Glad you liked it. Tracking is a completely open-ended hobby. You never learn it all. That's what I love about it. Kim ... From: koko61254 To:...
My favorites are Paul Rezendes' Tracking & the Art of Seeing, and Mark Elbroch's Mammal Tracks & Sign. I've attended outings w/ both gentlemen; & they're...
On Dec. 3, after a very long day, I was driving down the dirt road toward home thinking about wildlife sightings I have had along there. When I passed the...
What an awesome experience Kim!! I think I would have been scared out of my gourd standing there at night like that! Nice sighting and very exciting reading....
Thanks Bill. It was a little scary being out there in the fog and dark. But I think my interest in what I had found outweighed it. Probably not a real smart...
Great account Kim; was this a Western cat? I hope to find new sign of a bobcat (NE MA variety) this winter; I believe I've found an active travel corridor......
Hi TW, Yes, it was a Western cat. Northern California. Yesterday, I looked in the brush behind the deer carcass and found several flattened areas where he had...
Have any folks observed latrines established by fisher? Not just the occasional scat at the base of a tree, but several recent deposits over a short amount of...
I haven't seen fisher latrines, but just wanted to say you are lucky to have them (fishers). My area doesn't seem to have many left. Do you have any good...
Kim, I mostly focus on Mustelids and have tracked fishers since the early 90's. Local occurences date back to the late 70's when we had animals filtering down...
Bill, Making casts and molds can be both intricate and expensive - depending on how much you want to put into it. Since you stated you wanted info on making...
Hello all, Are there any trackers in western Washington who might be able to help this person? If you are interested, reply to me and I will forward their...
