TRACKS AND TRACKING 



has been wounded and gets away, hunting a day 

 or two after along streams in the district will 

 often bring to bay the wounded animal. If it 

 has the strength, it will hunt up water to cool 

 the wound, and then crawl into the densest cover 

 that is near. I have found many deer in this 

 way, dead and alive and still more skeletons to 

 which the tracks of " varmints " led me in the 

 later season. 



The signs of the fan-tailed buck are : 



1. Watching from cover; 



2. Hillock in track ; 



3. Dust heap in front of track; 



4. Blazing of trees; 



5. Pawing of ground.
