Here's a couple you tube videos that shows some good tracking. This first video shows the challenges it can bring as the guy tracks two different bucks over two days . Bumps then multiple times and even misses his first shot. But he stuck with it by keeping on the track. Circling around a Chunk of private land and picking up the track again and finally is able to get one of the bucks.

This second video shows how quickly it can come together for a new tracker in the South hunting in snow for the first time.

This third video shows how a big track can be deceiving. They manage to get up close onto the little fat buck though and have a few good tips in there as well.

there are lots of articles and videos online of tracking deer. As well as some books that your local library probably either has, or can get on interlibrary loan: "the deer trackers" and "on the track" by Richard bernier... He also has a you tube video that's like an hour and a half long on tracking. I haven't watched it, but there is probably some good stuff there.

"How to bag the biggest buck of your life" by Larry Benoit and " Benoit bucks" and " big bucks the benoit way" by Bryce towsley are also very good.

That gives you some info to get started. Nothing will beat boots in the snow on a track though .

Did I mention to go slow?
