so I just noticed we don't have a tracking section....hmmm.....anywho....I just finished athe basic course from natural awarenesss tracking school. Robert speiden from Virginia came up here to the great white north and taught a few of us... great class im tuckered out but look forward to practicing these new found skills.... bear with me folks once I figure out how to put the pictures from my cell phone onto this laptop thingy I will post pics
ye wareagle
I'm looking forward to your posts on this subject. Was the class about animal tracking or man tracking? or both?
this class was the human tracking class...I will work on my skills this next year then hopefully bring Robert speiden back for the advanced cource next summer
I dont recall seeing a tracking sub-forum on any forum, good idea
Given the number of threads that we've seen over the last 8 years a specific sub-forum wouldn't be used very much. Tracking threads don't come up very often.
Good point, although i am interested in where this thread goes. The only thing i can track is a train, and half the time I am wrong on that. I find the tracks but it is hard to figure out which direction it went......Quote:

I was teaching my nephew how to track and look for sign this weekend, as we got to the woods I realized how unprepared I was to pass on what I know. I vote for a tracking sub forum.
:brickwall: Dang it, I knew it had to be something simple I was overlooking! That is why I love this site..... So much useful info! :w00t:Quote:

A tracking sub forum would get me into big trouble.
There are several people I have been needing to track down and beat with a stick for decades.
If someone teaches me how to do it I'll wind up in jail.
it is one of those skills that most don't practice...probably why I got into it...the challenge......I still need to figure out how to put pics on here from my laptop and then we will see how much interest my tracking pics generate
a real good book on tracking by

Hey!
Did you ever get the feeling someone was following you?
I got my basic level man tracking cert this year too. When you start getting into it, you don't want to quit, lol, so I understand how fired up you are about it.
Who did you get your certification through?
At most forums a multitude of threads and interest precedes a separate sub-forum for a topic.
There are threads on human tracking at law enforcement, professional rescue and recovery forums. Increased interest among amateurs after the N.Y. prison break I guess. Personally I have always had more interest and use for animal tracking, especially speculative or predictive tracking based on knowledge of animal behavior. But that is part of tracking humans as well, most are fairly predictable.
I was tracking a coyote across a frozen lake and one set of tracks split into two sets. I thought no way but later on I heard a story from a friend that had come across the same thing. Coyotes are clever
Got mine through MTSU FIRE (forensic institute for research and education). Dr. Hugh Berryman was the head instructor, I highly recommend it.Quote:

This is not a class given by someone that learned to track from the coyote spirit or some mysterious "grandfather" that no one else in the family knows anything about!

Imagine, outdoor skills taught at a real college for credits leading to valid certifications and degrees!!
Yup, the sheriff's department that I work for sent me to the class. The class is lead by a forensic anthropologist and the staff was all swat team members from middle Tennessee. All the co-instructors were in law enforcement. I asked what their opinion of Tom Brown Jr. was... They wouldn't even talk about it, lol.
And prunes for when you get lost - they leave and unmistakable trail if you know what I mean ! :FRlol:Quote:

Then ask you friend to verify your findings, and hand him pellet to eat.
They will always agree with you after that.
Remind me to never track deer with H63.
