from a place I know as "The KNOB", a bluff cut by the Tanana River
If you take a jaunt down through the twisted river willow thickets for about 3 miles you will come to a place I call
"Wolf Track Bar", a sand bar, just before the river splits off into a slough.
Over the years, I have found countless tracks of moose, wolf, lynx, bears and beaver on this spot.
Below is a typical find.
Likely this is about a 1,000 lb Momma moose, and she has a calf with her.
Below that is a gray wolf track about 5" wide by about 6" long, a typical Alaskan wolf, long and rangy, kinda skinny with saucer sized feet.
This day, Wolf Track Bar was littered with wolf tracks [ yes that is my Remington 870 12 Gauge Pump in the lower left ]. There were plenty of moose tracks too. As I love to quote, Rod Stewart would say
"Every Picture Tells a Story". Today before I got there, Mr.& Mrs. Wolf thought to make a sweet meal of moose calf. They did not succeed. Time after time the two wolves rushed and feinted right and left at the two moose, Momma interposing herself between the wolves and the calf , always back to the river, backing
in up to their knees. Now if you have read the "Horse Whisperer" you understand the power of a mustang.
Imagine the the power of 2 mustangs in one animal. Finally, I estimate, after about a 20 minute test of Momma Moose's tactical reaction the two wolves went in search of a more likely meal.......... TRACKS tell the story.........
TRACKS
Whomever "THEY" are, their money leaves prints in the market, just like the moose and wolf, leave theirs on the sandbar.
As a "Recon" Scout looking at the tracks on the left, I'd say that stock was traveling South until the Green Side took a Left and went over the blue line of travel.
So they left tracks, tracks we could find and follow. We, if we know the lay of the land, can also attempt an educated guess as to where the game might move.
If we had been here as long as the
generations of the Athabascan hunters, rightly acknowledged as the Masters of all Moose trackers, then we might also understand the seasonal movements
Equipped with this information, burnt into our brains, as survivors of 10,000 winters, some hungry and cold that our people survived, we could then work on excellent probabilities that would no doubt make modern day bookies envious.
YOU can be a hunter and put yourself in position back tracking to intercept a stock going to support and then reversing trend, using the TRACKING by PEAK PERFORMANCE PICKS MoneyFlow Matrix.
