The title says it all. Thanks for posting. FWIW, I bought a book, The Comprehensive Guide to Tracking by Cleve Cheney. So far, as I have read, it has a trainload of information and excellent photos to illustrate the elements for effective tracking. I didn't know it but the book is based on African game. We have a shortage of hippos and elephants in Tennessee unless you go to a zoo. The material, photos and illustrations are what I would understand as common in any hunting situation, whether Africa, Asia, Alaska or Alabama.
