  • Initially discovered signs lead Boris and his team into thicker vegetation. Visibility is very low and signs by wild animals in the area are making their job more difficult. The team will have to take a methodical approach with tactics pioneered by the British in the 1960s and used to great effect by the infamous “Tip Toe Boys” - British SAS, Australian SASR and the New Zealand SAS operating in SE Asia in the 1970s.
    An environment like this can pose a dilemma for the lead tracker. A threat can be very near. He needs to look down to follow the sign on the ground but needs to look up to scan for threats; two jobs he can’t do at the same time. To deal with this, Boris uses a proven method called the 5-Step Track Pursuit Drill.
    Dense vegetation and forest floors often require the team to track on colour change alone, and it’s easy to lose the sign temporarily or get distracted by foul sign. How the team deals with this is going to determine success or failure. Fortunately, they are familiar with the 4-Step Track Casting Drill.

    I've learned a few things from 50 yrs of hunting and having tracked wounded deer for other hunters. Just a idea--cut yourself a stick that's the length of a step or stride when you first encounter the trail. when you lose the track STOP and place the stick on the toe print of the last visible track ---next gently sweep away the leaves looking for a pressure imprint at the tip of the stick. I've used this tracking deer in leaves and trespassing hunters on my farm . People are much easier to track than deer. Deer can suddenly jump 12 ft in a totally different direction of travel. I once spent 4 hrs at night tracking a wounded deer for a friend. I found it. Great satisfaction. Hope this helps someone.

    hallo Boris and UF PRO. Id like to say that I relly enjoyed your video, well dune. I served as a combat tracker in the IDF and actuely lernd a lot of new things that we did not do as well as a lot of things that are the same. also it was interesting to see you explain how to track while covering the front, we usde to just have somone in the force whos job it was to follow the tracks while evryone else would cover him.
    hope to see the rest of the series soon and thank you.

    Great graphics and explanation of the basics mate. Those casting drills sure do soak up the time especially if you have to move from the initial cast into an extended cast. Patience, discipline and honesty are only a handful of the key attributes of a VT and team. This will pay dividends when a VT loses the sign. Maintaining discipline is paramount. Communicate whatever you are seeing to your VT2 who should be standing by the LDS and scanning his arcs. The "target," will almost always follow the path of least resistance. Track on and happy hunting mate.

    There is a slight difference to the track pursuit drill that we do down under. Cover man comes up and all members go to the knee to lower the patrols signature. And added process is to look through the vegetation for the quarry prior to moving forward as a lead scout. All senses are used prior to setting off on a trail. Sight, smell, sound and touch. Brilliant video
