Tracking is like dancing, because your body is happy. It is telling you the hunting will be good. You feel it in the dance. It tells you when you love tracking and dancing, you are talking with God.
- !Ngate Xgamxebe, Bushman Tracker, from the documentary The Great Dance.
Never forget the trail, look ever for the track in the snow; it is the priceless, unimpechable record of the creature's life and thought, in the oldest writing known on earth.
-Ernest Thompson Seton
The tragedy in life is not what men suffer, but what they miss.
-Thomas Carlyle

-Jim Corbett, Jungle Lore
