Don't just step past those animal signs on the trail. Those are scats and tracks and they have a story to tell. In Scats and Tracks of the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Jim Halfpenny, a nationally renowned tracker, teaches you how to decipher these messages. Was that footprint left by a fox, a mountain lion, or a wolf? Was that pile of droppings deposited by a moose, a mouse, or a marten? This book can help you determine which mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians have passed your way and might be nearby. The book includes written descriptions and illustrations of the scats, tracks, and gait patterns of 70 Rocky Mountain species, an identification key, and a glossary of tracking terms. For a deeper understanding of the woods and wilderness, Scats and Tracks will prove indispensable.
