TRACKS AND TRACKING, by Josef Brunner. 
After twenty years of patient study and practical experience, Mr. 
Brunner can, from his intimate knowledge, speak with authority on 
this subject. "Tracks and Tracking” shows how to follow intelli- 
gently even the most intricate animal or bird tracks. It teaches 
how to interpret tracks of wild game and decipher the many tell- 
tale signs of the chase that would otherwise pass unnoticed. It 
proves how it is possible to tell from the footprints the name, sex, 
speed, direction, whether and how wounded, and many other things 
about wild animals and birds. All material has been gathered first 
hand; the drawings and half-tones from photographs form an im- 
portant part of the work, as the author has made faithful pictures of 
the tracks and signs of the game followed. The list is: The White- 
Tailed or Virginia Deer — The Fan-Tailed Deer — The Mule-Deer — 
The Wapiti or Elk — The Moose — The Mountain Sheep — The 
Antelope — The Bear — The Cougar — The Lynx — The Domestic Cat 
— The Wolf — The Coyote — The Fox — The Jack Rabbit — The Vary- 
ing Hare — The Cottontail Rabbit — The Squirrel — The Marten and 
the Black-Footed Ferret — The Otter — The Mink — The Ermine — The 
Beaver — The Badger — The Procupine — The Skunk — Feathered 
Game — Upland Birds — Waterfowl — Predatory Birds. This book is 
invaluable to the novice as well as the experienced hunter. 
“ This book studied carefully , will enable the reader to 
become as well versed in tracking lore as he could by 
years of actual experience —Lewiston Journal .
