In this eighth episode of my tracking series I had the fortune to catch up with avid hunter, tracker, and CyberTracker evaluator Brian McConnell. In our discussion we cover a lot of ground (pun intended). Brian fills us in on his background as a young man being taught by his dad how to hunt in the Arkansas woods, then learning intuitively to trail deer, and finally, later in life, connecting with a class offering formal training in tracking techniques which helped him refine his craft to the point of earning a specialist level on his second ever trailing evaluation, then becoming an evaluator shortly after. Brian shares his knowledge on:
· How a trailing evaluation unfolds and what the evaluator is scoring the tracker on
· How he uses tracking to inform and support his hunting activities, especially for deer and elk
· Tells us some hunting stories, showcasing how 90% of the elk he takes are done so by trailing right to the animal
· Gives us some practical tips on how to begin learning the art of trailing, especially for hunting purposes
