But it is an art that can be taught and a skill that can be acquired. All mammals, including humans, have behavior patterns that can be learned and even anticipated. Cleve Cheney, a master at tracking both animals and humans, defines tracking as 'learning to use all your senses to monitor your surroundings and to make logical and realistic deductions from what you have learned.' The author will show you how - by using hundred of photos and drawings to describe the numerous variables involved. He has brought together a massive amount of information on the how, when and where of tracking. This fascinating and useful book - by far the best on the subject - will turn a neophyte into a person with a basic understanding of the skills of tracking. For those who want to learn more than the basics, this book is a treasure trove of tracking information, insights, methods, and knowledge. While huge, this book is divided into logical sections that make learning the skills easier to comprehend. These skills include teaching yourself to track; understanding wildlife behavior; identifying tracks and signs; recognizing gait patterns and pressure releases; following blood trails; tracking specific animals; understanding how to track, stalk, and approach; recognizing bird, reptiles, and invertebrate signs; tracking humans; and understanding the dangers of the bush. Nothing is left uncovered - this is the bible for trackers and tracking!" PREVIOUS PRICE £29.95.

This the author's sequel to One Man, One Rifle, One Land. In this new book, "he ventures beyond North America to hunt the big game of Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific. And no, there is no African hunting. Yet the variety of game being hunted is enormous. The book is organized by game categories and starts with high-altitude game such as chamois, Asian and European ibex, bezoar, tur, and tahr. There are two chapters on snow sheep, three on argalis, three on mouflon, three on urials, and two on blue sheep. Included are the giant red stags and maral, the two subspecies of roe deer, the small miniature deer such as water deer and muntjac, and all the sizes in between. There are 18 chapters covering the various deer categories, and that is without including Asian and European reindeer and moose, which add another four chapters. Next up is an array of gazelles, and then we have the wild cattle, bears, wolves, and boars. In all J.Y. Jones has collected 118 varieties of big game without ever having hunted in Africa, a feat never accomplished by anyone else, as far as we can discern." .
