MUDDY WATERS
Short-Term Tracking Sign
.
Water puddles are a relatively common feature of landscapes that receive significant rainfall, especially where drainage is impeded.
They can be important for improving tracking skills - as animals commonly walk through puddles, especially puddles that occasionally form on animal trails.
When an animal walks through a puddle, often the sediment in the puddle will become disturbed - and the water will become temporarily murky.
Such tracking sign is short-lived - it's fresh tracking sign.
Learn why puddles are good short-term tacking sign and most importantly - how to improve your ability to accurately read puddles.
