Father forkhorn gave some very good advice.
This is one if the reasons I like hunting the big public lands instead of the small private chunks, even though I may have better luck in small wood blocks.
The best advice I can give you is go slow, and learn as you go. Every track is a learning experience .I love still hunting, and theres nothing better than a fresh snow to cut a track in.
Go slow, always looking ahead. Learn what the deer like to do and you can begin trying to guess ahead.
I can't say it enough. Go slow
i think this is a dying skill among most hunters for two reasons. Land access is one of them. Some of these trails will lead you on several miles of distance throughout a day. You have to have a big chunk of land to do that. The other is most eastern hunters spend most of their time in tree stands now it seems.
There is nothing more rewarding to me than shooting a tracked deer in it's bed, when it never even knows your there. I've done that several times with a rifle and once with a bow. I hope to do it with a recurve bow one of these days as well.
Good luck and good tracking.
