The Science and Art of Tracking

One of the most useful, yet rarely found, skills for hunting and survival is tracking. Tom Brown's book, "The Science and Art of Tracking" is the best book I have found on the subject.

No other text I know of goes into the depth you will find in this book. If you want to go beyond moving slowly from track to track in ideal soil conditions to tracking on hard surfaces, at night or through thick debris this is the place to start. Of course, just reading a book without spending a lot of "dirt time" won't do you much good. Those who truly wish to master the art of tracking should consider a class from Tom Brown's Tracker School.
