Very, very interesting and informative John, thank you for that. I will watch this many more times I imagine! Would love to see you do a series on tracking. Thanks again, great video :-))
Just beginning on this hobby, but I noticed snowshoeing this year that deer frequently have trouble on ice (slipping badly) , where other animals don't seem to. Also deer will often barely lift their feet, leaving evidence of dragging even in half an inch of snow.
I grew up with my forests and I could track a man with ease, it's becomes difficult when the person your looking for is familiar with tracking. Now man will leave a more destructive path through the woods from the shoes they ware to the way they carry themselves, broken twig branches, stomped undergrowth. Animals are hard because of the distances they can travel very quickly through rough terrain. Me and my dad tracked a buck within 50 feet then we deployed a new strategy was sit and listen for noises he grunted for breath we found him. If your going to hunt you must learn or be able to basically track cause if you wooned an amazing creature you must find them and end there suffering.Be a good observer, notice the things around you, emerse yourself within the habitat.
You’re a music lover I sense I bet you had to turn it off said nooooooooo when that camera came idk I get mad at cameras especially when the operator is a Tauntor that only stares and snaps repeatedly at you and you alone

Excellent video John. Good clear and well informed information. Keep up the good work.
thanks for the positive input
Hi John, did you make the A4 track sheets (3:10) yourself, or can they be purchased from somewhere? Great video as ever.
Made them myself so not available for sale I am afraid
Well, then I best get cracking on some of me own. Great charts, mate. Fantastic detail.
thanks john great info . plus I've had the chance of being at one of the course ..
That was the worst video I have seen 😟
Why?
Just a shoutout to my lecturer: Thx 4 the link, that's a very helpful video!
You had me at evolution.
you only have three likes i gave you a 👎🏻down 😹
Actually..... "evolution" is where he LOST me. Thumbs down just for the evolution propaganda.
@@DebiB62 You're truly ignorant if you don't believe or at least consider evolution at this point. What are you afraid of knowing?
Thank you, very informative
