Following Deer Tracks that Seem to Disappear

You found a huge set of fresh deer tracks and decide to start following them to see if you can catch up to the deer that made them. All is going well, until the tracks seem to disappear.
Did the deer vanish into thin air?
Did it magically sprout wings and fly through the forest?
No. It walked firmly on the ground, but maybe the light hitting the deer tracks is playing tricks on you.
Disappearing tracks have been tricking deer hunters since the earliest times when man started to first track animals.
Here is a solution if this happens to you.
Without stepping on the actual tracks and ruining the trail, Indian trackers used to step from side to side to allow the most favorable light to shine onto the trails.
With favorable amounts of light cast at the right angles onto the trail, hoof impressions or the upturned leaves seem to pop out because of the shadows they cast.
Try this Native American tracking trick the next time you seem to lose a set of fresh deer tracks in the woods. It could have you walking up on a big buck in his bed.
