Tracks made in the snow are subjected to rapid changes.If it is snowing, the tracks soon fill up. If the snow is powderyand a wind is blowing, the tracks will soon be covered bydrifting snow. If it is not snowing and there is no wind, freshtracks in the snow will have ridges of soft snow ringing them.
Signs, such as droppings, can reveal much to the hunter.If the spore is perfectly shaped and glazed, it has not beenlong since a deer was present; if it is steaming, get ready toshoot as the deer cannot be far away. The amount and condi-tion of this sign seen in and around the bedding grounds willgive the hunter an idea as to how much the section is used.It is, also, a barometer that tells much about the feedinggrounds and the amount of traffic on the trails.
