Following Tracks 2 - Dwight Wilson - Bog

Tracking has been around since the dawn of man. It's something that I feel is natural and instinctual within the human species. Our ability to reason, problem solve, learn, and adapt has given us the ability to progress, to modernize, and to become civilized. Now the hunt is at the local super market with meat wrapped and processed, vegetables no longer in the ground, and processed food in boxes. However some cultures still hunt. Some tribes still live the old ways. They are few, and their knowledge is fading. I wanted to share some stories about my life. I'm an ordinary person, struggling with my imperfections, flaws, and shortcomings as a human being trying to hold down a job, live in the city and still maintain a wild heart. Tracking gave me life, a connection to the Earth, and it has given my life a purpose and meaning. This book has tracking stories, life lessons, and my heart put into it. I hope you enjoy it. My personal approach to tracking is more of a holistic approach. I think tracking humans makes my wildlife tracking better and tracking wildlife makes my man tracking better. To me, it's just tracking. It's a tool. It's only a small part of the hunt. To understand and interpret the story on the ground is almost a lost art. This book will guide you in learning how to track wildlife and man.
