A huge help! March 11, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am earning a B.S. in wildlife management and I was needing a book that would help me with mammel signs. I reviewed several and found that they were not what I was looking for. After purchasing Mammal Tracks & Sign: A Guide to North America Species, I found that it was a huge help! This book gives understandable descriptions and a lot of pics of mammal dens, feces, tracks, and other signs. I encourage anyone who is in the wildlife perfession or just the everyday wildlife lover to purchase a copy.
A Text Book - Not a Field Guide March 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great book with loads of detail. This blows away anything else out there on the subject, but it is not a field guide or a week-end reader. This book will take you a serious amount of time to read and then a lifetime to comprehend and master. This book is a textbook and should be purchased with that in mind. I believe the organization of the book could be better arranged and more navigable. In the book there is some preaching, recruiting and praising of the Tracker and the art of Tracking early on, but it passes soon enough to be of no concern. You will come away with a new perspective regarding tracks and their interpretation. Well worth the money, and I could not beat the Amazon price either. There are other places to get the book, but they charge $10 more. Happy reading.
Tracks & Sign series a winner January 9, 2007

Although almost too heavy to qualify as a "field" guide, Mammal Tracks & Sign and its companion book--Bird Tracks & Sign--are invaluable reference tomes. The photographs are excellent, clear and well-described in the captions; the writing is an fine balance between the strictly objective information and the author's subjective enjoyment and experience. For anyone going out into the woods and wanting to know who and what else was out there, these are the books to use.
Mammal Tracks and Signs - the best March 25, 2006

I have been teaching tracking for 30 years and found this to be the best resource yet. Only drawback - it is a bit heavy for backpacking!

At last, a thorough *and* readable reference for animal track and sign (including "scat")! Other books we have used have been smaller in scope, actually geared more for elementary age kids in scouting. Although a bit hefty, this tome is a *must* for hikers who want to know what they are seeing on the trail. National and State Park rangers have recommended this book to us, and we finally found it on Amazon! YAY!
