Tracking is not just a winter pursuit. Wild
animals leave plentiful evidence of their
presence and passing in the other three
seasons, as well. Not only are there
tracks in soft earth, mud or sand, but also
scat, scrapes, rubbing, log-rolling and
many other kinds of evidence, collectively
referred to as "sign". Delight in the
discovery of this sign surpasses the
discovery of tracks in the snow, all the
more for its tendency to "hide" in the
background. It is there, just harder to see.
Summer tracking is more perception than
winter tracking, which is oriented much
more to identification of the obvious.
Develop or hone your observation skills
at one of the 3-season programs offered
this year.
