TRACKS AND TRACKING 



Watching where the trails are most numerous 

 soon furnishes work for the gun and trophies for 

 the hunter, for on such occasions the fox seems 

 to have lost the senses of sight and smell which 

 at other times are so well developed. It is a 

 singular fact that they always run the most dur- 

 ing the worst weather. In driving it is impossi- 

 ble to tell where a wolf or coyote will leave a cer- 

 tain thicket, beyond that it will not leave it where 

 it entered; but a fox is always the sure victim of 

 the hunter if he knows the fox path, for like the 

 bear or old boar, he and every one of his tribe 

 will always leave a thicket at the same point. 



In calling, an old fox, like a wolf, comes 

 stealthily, while a young one, like a coyote, will 

 generally be in a hurry to get there.
