- We're in the eleventh hour of the tracking pursuit. The gathered intel suggests a quarry is not local to this area, giving our trackers a bit of an edge. Boris shows the tactics used by the US Border Patrol when following coyotes (human traffickers and drug runners) along the Mexico-US border.

Man..i am going to miss this series.
I have not watched this episode yet, and I totally agree, what a serie!
I'm going to continue
Yeah man this series is so good
I couldn't help but lol when she came over the radio and he didn't answer! Awesome video series guys! Definitely got these saved. Hope yall come out with more like this. Btw, you did a fantastic job and I'm glad it ended with a cold beer. 🍻 Cheers bud.
I’m an ex Royal Marine trained in jungle tracking and I thought these videos were excellent, very informative, very slick and very watchable! Really enjoyed! 🤙🏻
Thank you so much for this lovely series. Looking forward for more guides and series on different topics! Keep up the good work :X Thanks, Boris! Please support our wildlife by donating, raising awarness or volunteering!
Brilliant series. Top tier instruction, amazing production value, suspenseful, and some great humour and humility at the end. I'd pay good money for more instructionals of this calibre, and will definitely watch this again more than once.
This brought back lots of memories. A solid presentation of the fundamentals.
Thanks so much for this fantastic series. You've done a great job and your closing message is particularly poignant.
Great video! Amazing technique and amazing work you and your fellow rangers do everyday! Best wishes from Switzerland!
Thank you
A good and informative mini-series, thanks guys. Great work in Africa too, truly a worthwhile cause!
Thank you James
@@borisvos1971 My absolute pleasure Boris. Hope you become a regularly on this channel or others, sharing your knowledge and abilities. Would be great if you could do something similar in the future doing wildlife or active counter poaching tracking skills in Africa? Since leaving the British Army many moons ago, I went into academia studying wildlife conservation, land management and environmental management etc (I've studied much longer than I served). I love the natural world, so I genuinely believe in what you're doing in Africa, working with the Rangers over there, is amazing work! Long may it last!
I have watched each episode about 5 times! I cant get enough
I been to Africa and saw some amazing tracking first hand and was able to learn from them. Tracking across solid rock terrain I once though was impossible....boy was I wrong.
Honest to god, I absolutely LOVE the edits in these videos
Excellent presentation. I use much of these same tactics as LEO in Arizona. Usually a two man team with area support.
Just waww i learned a lot of informations thanks UF PRO and thanks Boris Vos just amazing
For reference, typically alcohol and firearms are like oil and water, they just don't mix. Due to impaired judgment and coordination.
Song Shadows in the sky by DANICA DORA...Great song for the end of this....
Best movie i have seen in years. And i learned a lot
Best series EVER .
Yall are fantastic. This is incredible quality thank you!
Loved this series
Awesome series. Extremely informative.
I really liked the song in the beginning
Amazing series - thank you!!
Great show!
I am seriously going to mis this series, I hope uf pro has anouther series in store for us.
Outstanding
good ending
Any idea on the filming location,
Absolutely fantastic series. Hope to see more of Boris in future series.
Dissapointing ending? No way. As in life, the journey is as important as the destination.
Respect always to trackers and rangers. A special breed of people.
Thank you for the series...
Ending was great!
Things don't need to end badly my friend..
Life IS a journey...
Please do more of these! Very educational and entertaining.
Need to get a sponsor and create a reality tv show... "Outwit the Tracker" , where Boris gives you a 6 to 12 hour head start and starts hunting you...all proceeds go to conservation orgs.
That is not an outrageous idea;) I will have some rangers with me though. They are next level.
@@borisvos1971 Amazing series Boris! Hope to see more of your vids with UF Pro!!
There was already a US series called Mantracker...Would love to see Boris reboot this.
They need a netflix serie
Remember that show Manhunter? This reminded me of that. I haven’t watched that show in years.
Now that's what I call an ending! Well done UF Pro and Boris Vos for this series. Genuinely enjoyed watching it :-)
Cheers, @typhon084! Happy to hear you liked it.
Agreed
I'll be a pro at hide-and-seek
Also, I thought they're making a bomb, because of the wires and leaving their equipment behing
Technically they were, but it was an exercise. That is why the target was the church.
yeah me too
I’m not in the military or in law enforcement i’m just a french wildlife photographer but some of the tips you showed in this series have already been useful for me ( I’ve tracked animals for 5 years in the forest now and I continue to learn new things It’s really a complex art), so even If I don’t seem to be the target demographic of this series or of UF-pros in general I would like to thank you for the awesome quality of this series and the new things I learned. (Sorry for my English ;) )
Hey mate. Great to hear it’s of value to you. Keep up the good work of documenting our wonderful planet 🙏🏽🙏🏽

How do you deal with sheep skin on boots to cover tracks
@@sagilevy8825 Hi Sagi. That goes into the realm of anti- and counter tracking. If you're LE or MIL, sned me a PM.
Kudos on your series really well done guys your lead tracker is very skilled. I am a Cherokee tracker taught by Stalking Wolf. I've just started a TH-cam channel where I will be sharing things to try to keep people a little bit safer. I'm 76 years old so I've been at this quite a while. Over 45 years tracking the Selahtick First Nation's People... Commonly known as the Sasquatch. My goal and doing this work is to get their treaty given them by President Andrew Jackson back in the 1800s; restored and
their lands returned to them. And to get people to stop abusing them with their hairbrained obsession with trying to prove their existence. I teach tracking and six traditional martial arts.. in addition to being a tracker I am a still actively training Godan Bujinkan Ninjutsu instructor. My school of the wind dragon is not a way, religion nor a business. Is quite easy for me to find people interested in martial arts but it's easier for me to have close contact and interaction with the Sasquatch then it is to find people who are worthy of learning the tracking skills and training to go with me on adventures in the wilderness there just aren't that many really good serious people in this world. I'm simply looking for a few students good enough to go with me for mostly I've had to do this all alone and it's rather dangerous work for a man 76 years old to be doing alone. sehingfranciswinddragonschool@gmail.com feel free to veiw a short first video clip by clicking the icon bubble beside my comment here on my channel on utube under heading " slice and dice."
Any possibilities to get trained by Boris? I'm starting a project to help support SAR organisations throughout Europe and i'm wondering how you've setup your company and your history. In this project i'm going To teach, learn and spread awareness about and for SAR. Dankje voor je geweldige werk boris! gr Robin. Ik ga deze series missen! (i'm going to miss this series!)
That's a wrap. The Q&A with Boris has ended. Thank you all for your great questions. We hope everyone enjoyed the series and learned some new tracking skills. We'll be back with more soon!
Boris seems like such a genuinely great guy. Cheers to him and his work, the world is a lot better with him around
Thank you. There are many many people working on this, who don't get a chance to get in front of a camera. Stay well my friend.
@@borisvos1971 seconded - this is a wonderful video series! Thanks very much Boris, all the best.
The ending had me smiling and had me pouring a drink for myself. It was unexpected but a good one as said at the end.
Enjoyed this series, real professional. It was made easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and stories and what not ^^
Stay safe, healthy and all that's good to everyone out there.
Thank you ;)
the ending of this video series really broke my heart, i am going to miss this , the only thing i can say is thank you, thank you, and thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️, you did such a amazing things, i wish see more content of you. be happy and healthy, love you from Iran🇮🇷.
Shukran. Stay well!
@@borisvos1971 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a beautiful series with a heartfelt powerful message. I hope Boris Vos come back in the future for a Africa episode with support of UF PRO gear :) I enjoyed this so very much, thank for a wonderful series.
Song at the beginning is "Last Goodbye" by Eric Kinny
Need more hero’s like you😂
Yeah, I Shazam'd it. Nice song.
Thanks, kinda hard to find
Thank yoy very much mate, keep up the great work
aw heck yeah, thanks
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the quality of this series and say thank you to UF PRO 😍🙏🏻
Agreed. Initially I thought it was a big production, Hollywood movie because of the production quality. So so good! 🤯👍🏾
Yes, have to say thank you to UF Pro too
Amazing series, never thought this would be so interesting! Good job guys! One question, how do you track someone and it starts to rain, would not the rain destroy all the tracks? Or do you guys have a different tactics for that case?
Rain makes sign age very quickly, and will make it difficult. Sometimes, in the right substrate, it works to your advantage. Tracking in Ireland, in the Sleeve Bloom Mountains, I saw students (day3) track in the pouring rain, because the very resilient vegetation will remain pressed down due to the downpour. After rain is the best time for tracking!
Discardables, path of least resistance, just my opinion.
@@borisvos1971 I loved this series! Just binged all of it tonight, actually. Since you have your own channel, and I know you may not have time for this with LEAD Ranger and whatnot, but would you consider doing your own casual TH-cam series on tracking? It'd be a great way to pass those skills on...God knows hardly anyone has them anymore.
One of my most favorite things I've ever watch on TH-cam in 10 years. Just TOP NOTCH.
I hate that everywhere in the world military, police, firefighter, rangers etc are underpaid and under appreciated, but they are doing very hard work and risking their lives every day to protect people. And everyone who hates them like many people do are the first one to ask them for help when in trouble. And after that again speak everything bad about them even if they have saved their lives. Good luck to everyone who risk their live for keeping peace and saving others lives.
Very well said. Thank you for this comment :)
This is such a cool channel!
Awesome series! And filmed in just 3 days?! Excellent work by all involved. The bar has been set high by this series.
Great series, guys. The production value is unmatched. Also want to say, having been watching this series, I got to put it into practice just 2 days ago on a hike. Trail dissapeared, and managed to follow horse tracks through the trees leading back to our own boots and dog prints.
Great to hear! Keep at it, it’s so much fun and rewarding to track. Really resonates with that bit of DNA all of us have in us 👊🏽👊🏽
This was truly awesome. If Boris made a TH-cam series about this topic I'd be delighted. I'd love to learn more but know I would never get a chance to practice the skill so it would be pointless. The seriousness in Boris' voice paired with genuine compassion for those rangers is unmistakably an invaluable asset to those he teaches. Please make a longer series covering more topics!
Thank you Dave, that’s very kind of you mate. Who knows, there may be some more on the way ;)
"Wtf guys, serious exercise!" Favorite part, brings back mems. 11B all the way baby!
This whole series is needlessly beautiful
AS an LEO, we often have man-hunts. Having said that, I have never had the time to sketch footprints. That would be extremely time consuming. If we needed to visually document, we simply take a few quick photos. I'm not bashing these techniques at all, but rather simply wondering why not take a quick photo and stay in the hunt. It seems to me that you are allowing the individuals more time to evade or come in contact with other people who may then be put in harms way. Of course, we set up a perimeter and try to keep them in a specific geographical area. Maybe in this scenario, you don't have the man-power. Regardless, most all of the techniques shown are pretty valid. Good job.
Good question mate. I would definitely take pictures as well, and if it's LE, you need forensics in there as well. The reason for drawing is that I find it's a great way to study the track. Regardless of skill level, you need to make sure that impression is imprinted in your mind. Go too fast too soon, and you find you lose the track and are not able to re-establish. It also allows me to highlight those areas that show the identifying characteristics of the tread pattern I'm following for quick reference. Lastly, it helps me if I find only partials The drawing helps me to add detail as I find more further down the track, without having to flick through a set of photos on a camera or phone.
Retired U.S. Army Abn / 75th Ranger / Pathfinder and instructor for JOTC Panama and Belize .
Correct on sketching in this day and age of good quality cell phone photos .
Another option to consider is a professional UV light for detecting urine and blood . A prior video shows a cigarette butt being looked at , but not retrieved and collected in a ziplock bag . I'm talking DNA and collecting takes just a few seconds . ATB
@@QuantumPyrite_88.9This comment is spot on ;)
@@borisvos1971 golly you're you're good. I mean I'm really impressed that was a really good reply. The feller that taught me talk taught the famous Tom Brown jr. About the same time that he was teaching Tom and my grand pa Joe an Arapahoe Tracker and Cherokee shamen and Stalking Wolf's best friend. I really don't like modern technology and so I really appreciated your answer to this fella's comment ... And I must admit that I wouldn't have thought of such a good answer. And you just you taught me something new.I've never really liked the way that the white man learns things...and though I've been raised in the white man world I've tried to have learned some of his ways and adopted some. When it came to taking notes and all of that stuff it just left me cold. in my martial arts are there are quite a few people that keep journals and take notes and make a little drawings and I completely reject that kind of thing but in this case that's really true everything you said was right spot on so now I guess I'll be taking a little scribble pad along with me dang your hide. Thank you Boris for teaching an old dog SOG a new trick. 😁
This was incredibly beautiful. The ending really drew everything together in a way that helps those without exposure appreciate the importance and dedication of the Rangers. God bless and stay safe Boris.
The dislikes are from all the guys boris tracked and caught.
Благодарю )
That was incredible series! Very professional, too! I'd hope, it's not the end, that you'll create similar series in the future!
I couldn't stop watching it. Thank you!
We all just watched a 5 part beer commercial
Didn't think of that. We could've been millionaires :)))
@@borisvos1971 or you could have had a lot of free beer lol
@@danielbateman6518 I know, right? Cheers mate!
This is a man who speaks from his heart. What a legend.
Good info as always. Thank you. Also appreciate his humble speech at the end.
Fantastic ending.
Brilliant, almost a mini series.
Amazing cinematography..
I was hoping for a firefight but I had a suspicion it would end like this. Awesome series! I can’t wait to see what is next! 😁
I think you were right on the money ;)
Fantastic series, great production value, quality content and people like Boris Vos. Bless you all, stay safe and thank you to all those for their service including all of the Rangers performing such wonderful, valuable work.
Great video series and well done, easy to understand good exemple
Keep up the good work
Thank you for you service 👍🍺
My full respect to you Guys!
You managed to do an interesting, exciting video with an awesome teacher and an hell of an plot twist!
For me as an hunter it's heart warming to see how someone care's about those animals with the passion they earn it.
Congratulations, to UF Pro.
But a huge "thank you" out of the bottom of my heart to Boris Vos and especially to the Park Rangers out there!
Last year I had an opportunity to take course by David Scott-Donelan, but didn't take it. Probably once in a life time opportunity.... Now I feel twice as stupid :( This is very interesting and useful set of skills.
Fantastic climax to an enthralling series 🍻 cheers!
Thank you very much...absolutely great stuff...
That Music..... That End.... Wait... that speech..... I'm speechless! Best day Ever
Amazing series! Thank you for the information given and the new research source you provided at the end! High quality material, guys!
woooooooo, love your series on everything, very methodical, love that you guys are so engaging into your community and the support your give to leadranger and us, keep smashing those vids and we'll keep smashing those likes, God Bless
My Inside tracker is now pumped up. Soon going to practice and apply these skill on my boys who ditch me.
The level of quality on these episodes is off the chart!
haha great ending!!! loved it! great job all around!
Great production Guys, thank you.
What is the name of the song at 14:00?
that tracking on the footprints and stuff is done really well good job whoever edited this
Need to go find some quarry.
I can not express myself enough on how much i love this series. Boris is incredible man with tons of knowledge. I write down every detail from this videos. Thank you so much for this Boris, uf pro and the team making this. You guys deserve the best 🙏🙏🔥 cant wait for more series
I've followed this series enraptured and transfixed by what you guys do and even this brief glimpse of how you do it. Thank you for an outstanding look at a virtually unknown skill set. May you and all the Rangers stay safe.
Great series. Good info. I am a bow hunter in the Pacific Northwest of the US. You have given me so much good information. I have been tracking for decades, but there was a lot to gain here. I also loved the song playing on intro to the last episode. What song was that?
"Last Goodbye" by Eric Kinny
@@conner3206 thanks you so very much for pointing me in the right direction
I love this series! Boris how difficult is it to track someone lost in the woods? I'd really like to learn tracking on a greater scale to assist in locating lost people in the woods.
Not sure where you're from, but assuming you're US or UK, there are many SAR organizations that have tracking in their curriculum. Great mission to go on mate! Tracking in the forest can definately be done well. I've seen a Singapore LE tracker out track a tracker K9 in the forest in Brunei. Not a competition, once those two started working together, there was no getting away.
And when it comes to dense jungle such as Vietnam (forget about bobby traps LOL), Cambodia, Indonesia, etc, could it be harder?
I came from Indonesia by the way, Central Java, still much dense jungle here especially south territory
@@borisvos1971 I'm in the U.S. I have military experience, but not a ton of tracking experience.
Bagus Syarifuddin I love Indonesia. Jungle is my favorite environment, and tracking works well in that environment. That’s said, a cold Bintang, some nasi goreng and especially sate ajam is maybe my favorite. Terima Kasi!
@@borisvos1971 Sama-sama
Somehow I know from episode one that we would be ending up at a pub, ha. I feel I have learned a lot from this series. I learned the basics tracking animals when I was young, but never got human specific tracking training.
Good stories start and end with a beer. Yes, sir! Superb production, my hat - and everybody's that has watch this series- is off. Respect from Argentina.
Definitely one of the best series on TH-cam. Thank you for making this as well as highlighting the rangers and the amazing work that they do. Coming from Africa, this just hits hard!
Thank you again
A very very well made series
I just shed a tear. The ending was truly awe-inspiring. Big salute and respect to Big Vos (pun intended) and to all the park rangers out there protecting our big and small wildlife creatures.
Amazing series! Thank you for all you do to protect wild places and wildlife.
Great series guys jus like the cqb series, will defo be reading up more on this for my job
The ending.. the best I could have ever imagined for this amazing series. Boris Vos your work in Africa is inspirational. Keep up the good work. UF Pro the video you guys produce is just amazing.
Wow. What an amazingly well-shot & informative series. Thoroughly enjoyed watching & learning. Can't wait for more series to come. Big thanks to Boris & UF Pro for sharing this knowledge in such an entertaining way to boot.
What an amazing series. Thank you for sharing.
That was a great end to the series, I really wasn't expecting that
Man that was brilliant, I hope you guys do more stuff like this.
Boris is a great instructor, he taught me combat tracking and information exploitation in East Africa. thanks for the series. it was good to see you buddy.
Hi John, great to see you here. Stay well my friend 🙏🏽👍🏽
I loved the series, thank you very much for all the effort. This channel still amazes me. Good Job!
Perfect. I was watching those episodes with enjoy. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Very nice work! As an experienced tracker I can say that this is a good video series. I especially enjoyed seeing how tracking is done with a tactical team since I have never done that before. Splendid, outstanding, wonderful, fantastic and all the other nice work in the world. Keep it up and STAY SAFE!
Congratulations to UF pro and Boris for showing all the other companies that their marketing videos suck! Big fan, hope to see and buy more soon.
Just click on LEAD Ranger website after watching, and you can learn something about dealing with snakebite! 🐍🥶
Salue to you Boris! 💪👨🌾
Leaving this here for new and previous viewers alike:
The first song being played in the intro is "Last Goodbye - Eric Kinny · Danica Dora (Cashmeer cover)"
The second song being played once the team makes contact with their quarry is "Beer truck" by Wes Cook Band
The third song being played as Boris is back in Africa is "Between Two Worlds". The only version of this I could find that sounded remotely similar was posted by a channel called "African Music Drums Collection". If anyone finds a version like the one in this video, please reply with it.
The fourth and final song being played at the end is called "Wild Is Life" by Daniel Deuschle
Great , great, great series some of the best stuff you can find in TH-cam .
Im currently into Tactical Tracking Operations via pdf on my phone, started with my interest to USMC's Combat Hunter program where David is the SME for the Tracking portion. Im not in the military but I personally adopted the Combat Hunter mindset for my own security.
What a great series. And as an African (From South Africa) it is great to know guys like these are part of protecting our wildlife against those filthy poachers. They are brutal and deserve what is coming to them. Here in South Africa we have a massive issue with Rhino horn poachers, they just cut off rhinos horns and leave them bleeding and in pain. It is disgusting. These guys risk their lives every day to keep our animals safe. The African bush is something else, it's really amazing. Well done to all park rangers and anti-poaching units for all the work they do. Legends
