The first one is a classic canine print - definitely dog family. THe heel pad is quite indicative as are the toe placement and size relative to the heel pad. ...
Thanks! I'm a novice but am learning. I read everything I can get my hands on about mountain lions. And love the site and stories Kim Cabrerra wrote on...
Hello all, Thanks for the forum to share stories and pictures! I am a recreational tracker always looking for more information to increase awareness of...
Welcome! That's quite a lesson. Glad you kept your head down! Road signs are frequent targets where I live too. Seems people like to drive down the country...
That's frankly terrifying! (from this Brit's point of view, anyway). What if you're innocently stalking wildlife in a field 50 yards beyond the sign when one...
It's very true in rural areas. The cowboys don't feel that they have anything else to do. Roadside signs become frequent targets. When I see signs full of...
Don't get the wrong idea, Mike, there are plenty of(I'd go so far as to say "most" of them) beautiful rural areas in this country where you don't have to give...

Bob, yeah there are so many loopholes in our system it wouldn't float on pudding, hahaaha. We need some trackers in high positions, as far as I'm concerned. ...
Around my area in Northwestern New Mexico it is't the Cowboys it is the little gang members who are shooting up signs. One 100 mile strech Hwy 371 has about...
Does any one have a suggestion for a good book to get started identifying animal tracks? I was looking at one from Tom Brown the other day which looked good...
I highly recommend the Peterson field guide by Olas Murie and "Tracking and the art of seeing" by Paul Rezendez. My 2 cents....Roy "Democracy is two wolves...
I'd have to agree that Elbroch's is awesome - it can be hard enough identifying scat with a good photo to compare to, but with Peterson's it's that much harder...

Hello! I'll admit that through most of the year I don't do much tracking. If I happen to come across a trail, I'll follow it, but I rarely go looking for...
I think, in the last few pictures at least, it is a deer or whitefooted mouse. the last pic with the glove is the one that gives it away for me. I needed some...
Thanks! I'll have to look for that book. I tried to get my ferret to run around in the snow so I could compare the tracks to hers, but she wasn't keen on the...
A helpful website with great picture of tracks is naturetracking.com I just looked and there is a picture of a weasel following a mouse in snow. Its under...
