Customer Reviews

good on behavior/ bad on tracking.

The chapters on animal behavior are excellent and truly some of the best i've read. This in itself is well worth the money. However the begining chapters of the book that deal with tracking are rather primitive, and designed for only the true beginner. It states things like "the sex of the animal cannot be determined by the tracks", but any semi-experienced tracker knows this to be false.

Excellent Pocket Guide to Animal Tracking

This is a wonderfully written and illustrated guide to animal tracks, signs and behavior. Written for the layperson, but packed with useful information, it is a must for any weekend trekker. Although there are no photographs, the illustrations are wonderful for identifying animal homes and signs such as deer rubs, nibbled twigs and of course animal tracks!
