[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2203882, member: 91783"] A lot of years back I was riding with an older pilot in the chopper . We had 6 or 8 inch's of fresh snow on the ground so the tracks were showing up good . the sun was shinning so good sun glass's were needed to keep from going snow blind and that made the tracks show up better . We were flying along when the pilot slowed and started following a set of tracks I looked out ahead and told him these aren't coyote tracks they are bobcat tracks . He ask how would you know that we haven't seen an animal yet . Because coyote line out and go straight most times and cats just kind of meander around a lot . He goes really I never paid that much attention to that lets find out we went on about a mile and up front was the bobcat standing looking back at us . We picked up a set of tracks that were lined out going straight north and began following them they went into the tracks of a heard of sheep well we lost them he said . I told him to go on past the sheep and make a wide circle to the north where we then picked up the tracks again flew them and spotted the coyote running out ahead of us . we took him and then went on searching for more tracks . When we got back to the hanger he tells me so how did you know all this stuff about tracking coyote and cats . By doing it on the ground I told him . Why didn't any one explain it to me before then was the next question . Because of your age and experience as a pilot they just went along for the ride to gun for you figuring you were doing what you do and I'm here to kill your problem not just for a ride in your chopper . He just shook his head smiled and said thank you for being blunt and to the point I've wasted a lot of time and money in the past . He has long since passed on , a good man gone now , he taught me things as well . [/QUOTE]
