    Human track through back country

    Hi Jonboy79 I was out tracking in my backyard, so to speak, and considering that its a densly nettles area of scrub woodland reeds and nettles I thought I would do a blog post about tracking humans in this type of environment.

    Human track through back country

    Judging by the marks left in the wild area which backs onto where I live 3 days is optimistic. More like 3-4 weeks. So if you regularly take the same path you will wear a path, if you take a different path each time and are being tracked then your marks will be found. Which could mean that if...

    Fear of the dark

    Human behaviour, especially that of the unhinged can be perplexing. I work in mental health with people who at times can be unpredictable. Take that unpredictability and add some skills and one of the least understood aspects of psychopathy, the lack of empathy and extreme risk taking there is a...

    Human track through back country

    It all depends on the time of year and weather. 2-3 days to several weeks for nettles, long grass is different and may take less time. A skilled tracker would have little trouble discovering and following the marks..

    Urban Otters..

    I havent been posting fish kills at all, but otters are not wasteful eaters and will devour the whole fish if undisturbed. Theyt start with the soft parts and work their way to the rest of the flesh. In the main they are eating Signal Crayfish, rats, mink, ducks and other water fowl. @oldtimer I...

    TRACKS: Who dunnit?

    Dog or Cat, I do get your point. I have taken over 80 pictures and went back today, but we have had a lot of rain. I saw a dark animal, out of the corner of my eye and turned to see the characteristic tail. That is my bike tyre tread so the timescales are similar. The photo is reduced in size...

    TRACKS: Who dunnit?

    Good point about the claws. with tracking I tend to find that once "in the zone" motivation will push me to find the other signs, with big cats smell is very important and we can get at least a bit of the scent spectrum. Also railway lines seem to be very important for big cats.In my limited...
