Tracking Course

I started learning how to track animals as a boy and have added to my TRACKING MENU THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. I spent time with aboriginal trackers and the Kalahari bushmen and have been self taught through a lifetime of learning.Through the tracking course I impart what I have learnt over the years to you, the participant. While the course concentrates on tracking a person, the skills learned can be expanded on with practice to learn all the different animal tracks and the applications are many and varied. I have used my tracking skills regularly over the years including solving a missing person case where they had been attacked, detecting feral animals in the nature reserves I have managed, and simply figuring out if strangers have been on my property. I once had my shed broken into and was able to discern that there were two people in the vehicle and that they were known to me ie had been to the property previously. It didn't take long to track them down. Pun intended! Some who have completed my course include SES volunteers and police officers who have used the skills to successfully track missing persons and criminals. One man who had recently completed the course had a suicidal mate that took off in to the bush. He successfully tracked him and was able to bring him home safely.  What happens on the course? The first day is learning all the skills. The second day is a real life scenario where there is a broken down vehicle and its occupants have set out on foot. The participants have to track their missing persons until all are found, using the training they received on the first day. It is a moderately challenging course but very satisfying and it appeals to the detective in each of us.
