...tracking Lynx in Northern Maine. When I first found these tracks, I was amazed at their size, and at first I looked over my shoulder lest they be Puma tracks... here are a variety of tracks, a hunting lay, and a Lynx scat. Look closely at the tape measure - over 4 inches wide.

Beaver tracks in snow. Beavers are active all winter, although their activities are limited by the extent of ice on their pond. If there is open water, you may be lucky enough to find their amazing tracks in snow.

This is Snowshoe Hare browse on Red Maple. Note the clean 45 degree cuts, which distinguish it from Whitetail Deer browse, which has rough, jagged edges.

Our Tracking Videos

"The more you involve yourself with tracking the more extensive will become its definition until it reaches the ultimate point of becoming un-definable. Literally anything that can be experienced can be tracked – any experience has the potential to be a tracking experience. And in that sense, tracking is virtually impossible to define. Tracking for the sake of tracking means observing and following each moment wherever it goes without attempting to limit, change, label, or define the experience." - Charle Worsham
