A few weeks ago, we had a moose walk up our driveway over some wet snow, and it left nice tracks. I took a couple pictures, which I put in the BJMAINE ...
Yesterday I was out in the woods behind my house, and ran across some SMALL prints from an animal that was walking in the track from the ski of my snowmobile,...
Bill.....I have noticed that even house tabbies seem to have a lot of primal instinct so I wouldn't expect to see the pronounced differences in intend you do...
... of primal instinct so I wouldn't expect to see the pronounced differences in intend you do with the canids. Without an accurite scale this could be tough....
Went out this morning after rain/sleet/dusting of snow, and found some more cat prints, this time walking right up my driveway. Again, there are no domestic...
I suspect even a "domestic" cat that was dumped would be very evasive. Track size seems to fit the edge of either size range. Something else to think about...
... The freeze thaw thing I'm familiar with. I've seen a track almost double in size with several freeze thaw cycles. However these tracks were made during a...
I have some pics of some bobcat tracks in mud that I took last year in Virginia if you want to see those and compare. I have a tape measure next to one of the...
I wish it would snow and get cold enough here to see how snow reacts. If your camera is like some of my toys it has too many moving parts for me to mess with. ...
Out walking on trail again a couple days ago. Snow was icy on top, so that no prints were visible (ie you could walk on top of snow without sinking in)....
Your tracks look like drag marks from a garden tool. If its something as large as a bear then I would think there would be some other tracks near by since it...
... Thanks. No prints nearby at all, except prints I left before the snow crusted over. Even my 95 lb dog wasn't leaving tracks. I agree that the marks look...
I posted 2 flyers in the "Files" section for our upcoming classes. The first for Man Tracking 3-5 Mar.'06 and the second for our Awareness / Hide and Seek...
I am an East Coaster and was recently in NV, specifically Valley Of Fire SP. I took several photo's of animal tracks while there and question the maker of the...
I've been to Valley of Fire SP twice. Love the place. I did not record the same tracks you did in my visit. Clearly it's not the common antelope ground...

Wilderness Discovery will be holding a man tracking class in Cumberland, Va. on the weekend of 8-10 Sept.'06. The cost is $175.00 if registered before 1...
Hey Everyone, My name is Bill and I was a member of this group some time ago, but have recently re-joined. My question is have any of you ever used sooted...
Hi Bill, The plates are sheets of aluminum. You coat them with soot from an acetylene torch. Or other similar device. One end of the plate is sooted. The...
Thanks for the info Kim! I'm going to give it a try. I have a friend that has an acetylene torch. I wonder if a propane torch would give the same effect,...
HI Bill, Traxtone comes in premeasured packages. All you do is add water. I think it was a cup or two, but the package directions will tell you. I get it from ...
Thanks again Kim. I went back and looked and I guess it is more expensive, but the durability would be worth it. I am an elementary teacher and use my casts...
Hi Bill, Durability of the casts is important with casts that get used a lot, especially by the younger folks. Shameless plug here. I have a CD-ROM that has...
There is still time to register for this year's conference. It's going to be a very exciting event! See the web page below for more details. We have an ...

I'm Molly, a homeschooling mom of 3 in northeast Texas. Over the past year or so we've encountered more wildlife than in rest of my whole life it seems!! We...
Hi Molly, welcome to the club! I'm glad you have taken such an interest, not only in tracking, but in the wildlife your family seems to find literally in your...
Hey everyone, I recently found an area in prairie grass that has 6 or 7 different den holes. The area is well used with paths coming from every direction....
