Whenever I track wolves and follow their paths through the wilderness, I am reminded of their intelligence, discipline and commitment to each other. It is always an awe inspiring, humbling experience.

I was just outside in this 10F degree weather thinking how nice 20 degrees would feel 🤣. I think these crabapples on the tree are past their prime. What do you guys think?

After wandering (and driving) 25 miles of logging roads I stumbled upon this mountain goat herd! I had no idea they were in this area (only 5 miles from my house as the crow flies).

When I go bushwacking to explore the wilderness, I don't just randomly pick my way through the trees. I find and follow game trails. They are an efficient way to find alternative routes through the land and often bring me to some really cool places I know I wouldn't have found any other way.
The trick to tracking or following wildlife is not to try and follow step by step. You start by trying to get a sense of how the animal will move through the landscape and then look for movement patterns on the ground. The bottom photo shows two such game trails. I followed the one on the right because it gave better clearance.
Then you look for verifications that you are indeed on a good game trail either through scat (technical term for poop) or confirming one or two tracks. The top photo on the right shows sign of deer and the top photo on the left shows the V shape of a deer track in the moss.
Then, to make sure I don't get lost, I make sure I have a major reference point - it could be a distant mountain, the edge of a hill, the position of the sun - to make sure I don't drift into an area where I could get lost. While I also have a compass and a map, I prefer to feel my way through the land as it is a good way to build confidence in your own innate sense of direction and awareness. It means you'll know how to move even if something happens to your map, compass or GPS device.
Once you do this for awhile, a whole new world begins to open up as you start to really see the life in the forest. You realize how much movement is actually going on, including the dance between predators and prey. It's not unusual, in the right places, to come across the tracks of wolves following deer, which of course, is a whole new story of its own.

My favorite thing about fresh snow is seeing all the wildlife tracks and realizing how much activity is going on around you when you're not looking.
