LEARN TRACKING!
The Tracker's Field Guide by James C. Lowery
Teach yourself tracking! Most trackers want to move beyond track ID into the animal's world. They ask why is the animal here, what is it eating, where is it going, is it male or female, juvenile or adult? Whether you are a beginning or advanced tracker, you will find that The Tracker's Field Guide will guide you in track interpretation as well as the essential biology of the animal you've discovered. It is the only field reference on the market that does so, including as it does scores of track interpretation examples about behavior, gaits, body language and habits. Also, the track ID pages include hundreds of precise drawings and excellent photos as well as tips on the "nitty-gritty" of track ID drawing from our decades of field research. (When your choice is down to kit fox vs. gray fox, or mule deer vs. antelope, the fine points really help!) The Tracker's Field Guide is easy to use and will facilitate a new relationship with the outdoors.
Yes, you can "teach yourself tracking." Taking a class or two helps, but your own field work with a good reference in hand will advance your skills and connect you with the animals in the most durable way.
Some Features:
- 406 pages with 520 high-resolution photos and hundreds of drawings

“Jim’s book represents a valuable addition to tracking literature. It is a wealth of natural history information gained from long hours observing animals in the field. For those wishing to expand their knowledge of mammals in the wild, Jim’s book warrants long and careful study.”
